Enable unlock with PIN
Unlock with PIN can be enabled for Bravura Safe browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps.
Bravura Safe can be configured to accept a Personal Identification Number (PIN) as a method to unlock your safe.
You will still be required to use your master password and any enabled Two-step Login method when you log in. PINs can only be used to unlock your safe.
Note
The Bravura Safe app will automatically log out from your account after 5 failed PIN attempts.
To enable unlock with PIN for your browser extension:

Click Settings.
Under SECURITY, select Unlock with PIN.

Note
To unlock with a PIN even after the browser restarts, uncheck the Lock with master password on browser restart option.
