In this chapter 8 topics
Use Talos to fill saved passwords and create or use passkeys in participating websites and apps. Talos integrates with the system’s credential-provider interface so you can sign in without opening each record manually.
Step 1 — Enable AutoFill for Your Vault
- Open and unlock your vault.
- Choose Menu (…) > Settings.
- Find Vault Settings for the selected vault.
- Enable Autofill with eligible Premium access.
Enable AutoFill for each participating vault you want to use.
Step 2 — Enable Talos in Device Settings
Open your iPhone or iPad’s Settings and find the password AutoFill or credential-provider settings. Enable Talos as a provider for passwords and passkeys. The settings name and location depend on your system version.
Return to the website or app after enabling the provider.
Step 3 — Fill a Saved Password
- Open the website or app’s sign-in form.
- Tap the username or password field and open the system’s password suggestions.
- Choose Talos and select the saved login.
- Complete the requested authorization.
- Continue signing in with the filled credentials.
Save an accurate website address in each login’s URL field to help Talos match it to the requesting service. You can also select the appropriate record from the credential list.
For example, save the account’s username, password, and website in Northstar Mail, following Create Your First Entry.
What Is a Passkey?
A passkey is a sign-in credential based on a public and private key pair. The service registers the public part; Talos stores the private-key material as protected data in your encrypted KDBX record. The system coordinates registration and sign-in with the website or app.
| Credential | How to add it |
|---|---|
| Password | Save the account’s username, password, and website in a login entry. |
| Passkey | Start passkey creation in the service and choose Talos through the system prompt. |
