Configure password autofill

Use this page after you understand how Aside Password Manager works. See Use Password Manager for the overview.

​
Turn on autofill

  1. Open Settings > Password.
  2. Choose the default password manager. Turn on Use default password manager if you want Aside to manage passwords.
  3. Enable Autofill.
  4. Choose URL matching.
  5. Add domains to Excluded domains if Aside should not fill on those sites.
  6. Choose whether Aside can show suggestions on insecure protocols.
  7. Choose whether autofill works in incognito windows.
Aside fills credentials into websites. Saved passwords stay local and hidden from AI. Autofill is on by default, and Aside only fills matching logins according to your password access settings. Aside also treats common account domains as equivalent by default, such as google.com, youtube.com, and gmail.com.

​
Import passwords

Open Settings > Password > Import.
  • 1Password
  • Apple Passwords
  • Bitwarden
  • Chrome
  • Dashlane
  • Edge
  • Firefox
  • LastPass CSV
  • Generic CSV fallback
  1. Export passwords from the source password manager.
  2. Open Aside password settings.
  3. Select Import.
  4. Choose the source.
  5. Select the export. Follow the source-specific flow if the import UI asks for it.
  6. Review the result.
After setup, Aside can show login suggestions, save prompts, generated password suggestions, passkey/FIDO2 dialogs, and TOTP autofill prompts. Generic CSV imports require these columns: 
name,url,username,password
The import UI handles source-specific formats. After import, keep the exported file only if you still need a backup.

​
Control AI access to passwords

Open Settings > Password > Access policy for AI agents. Use this setting to control how agents may use saved credentials. Options are:
  • Always allow
  • While unlocked
  • Never
The default is Always allow. Imported items can override the global policy per item. Agents cannot use password manager access in incognito sessions. For login items, Aside checks the target URL before building an autofill payload. Aside checks allowed vault items for matching logins without exposing saved passwords to the agent.

​
Vaults and sync

Password settings include vault management, cloud sync, import, export, and clear vault data. Use export before clearing a vault if you need a backup. Aside encrypts vault data before sync, and saved password values stay hidden from AI. Clear vault data deletes local items, vault keys, and vaults, creates a fresh Personal vault, and syncs the reset state.
