Chapter 2: Organize passwords

Manage your folders

Creating folders to organize your passwords is an essential step in effectively managing your Intuitive Password account. As you accumulate a growing number of passwords for various websites, applications, and services, it becomes increasingly challenging to keep track of them all. Without proper organization, searching for specific passwords or maintaining an overview of your accounts can become time-consuming and frustrating.

By creating folders, you gain the ability to categorize your passwords based on different criteria, such as personal, work-related, or specific projects. This allows you to maintain a structured system that reflects your unique needs and preferences. With well-organized folders, you can easily locate and manage your passwords, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of password-related complications.

Creating a folder

  1. Locate the "Categories" panel on the left-hand side of the screen. Within this panel, you will find a button labeled "Folder View". Click on this button to switch to the folder management view, which displays a list of folders instead of categories for managing your passwords.
  3. In the toolbar at the top of the folder list, you will see a "Plus" icon, click on this icon to create a new folder. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to enter a name for your new folder. Provide a descriptive and meaningful name to easily identify its purpose or content. Choose the location of the new folder by selecting either the "Root folder" option if you want to create a folder at the root level or the "Sub folder" option if you want to create a subfolder within a selected folder.
  5. After entering the folder name and selecting its location, click the "Create" button to create your folder.

Editing a folder

  1. In the Folder View, locate the folder you wish to edit from the list of existing folders. Click on the "pencil" icon associated with the selected folder.
  3. A text field will appear, allowing you to modify the name of the folder. Enter the desired new name for the folder. After making the necessary changes, click the "Apply" button to save your edits.

Deleting a folder

  1. In the Folder View, find the folder you want to delete from the list of existing folders. Click on the "Minus" icon associated with the selected folder.
  3. A confirmation message will appear, informing you that deleting the folder will not remove the password items stored within it. Instead, those password items will become uncategorized and can be found in the "Category View".
  4. To proceed with the deletion, click the "Apply" button to confirm and save your changes.

Moving a password item into a folder

  1. Review the passwords list and select the password item you want to move into a different folder. Once the password item is selected, navigate to the "Edit" tab to access its details and make modifications.
  3. Within the Edit tab, locate the "Folder-Tree" icon and click on it. This action will reveal a sliding panel that displays your folder hierarchy. In the sliding panel, select the desired folder to which you want to move the password item. This will ensure the password item is organized correctly. After selecting the desired folder, close the sliding panel by clicking the "X" icon.
  5. To save your changes and move the password item to the selected folder, click the "Update" button. Once the password item has been successfully moved to the desired folder, you will be able to locate and access it by selecting that folder in your folders list.
