User interface

The user interface is divided into five areas: The password area, the navigation area, the status bar, the toolbar and the details. Except for the password area and the toolbar, these areas can be shown or hidden via the menu View. 

Password area

The password area is the main area of Password Depot. Therefore, it is in the middle of the screen and cannot be hidden.

This area allows for access to your passwords. It displays the description of your passwords as well as, if desired, further information. In Edit → Options → Layout, you can customize your view. In order to change the view of the password list, click on the tab Display. 

You can move entries into another group with drag & drop from the password area. To do so, the navigation area needs to be opened.

Navigation area

This area offers a tree structure of the folders in the open database, similar to the one found in the Windows Explorer. Additionally, you can access your favorites and the recycle bin here as well.

Types

Here, you can view a list of all entry types. By double-clicking a type, you can see a list of all entries of that type in the current database.

Categories

Here, you can view a list of all categories, both built-in and custom ones. Just as you can with entry types, you can double-click a category to see a list of all entries of that category in the current database.

Status bar
