Keyring

Browser Extensions

Keyring in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Download the extension for your browser, load it once, and sign in with the same Optanik account. After that it fills saved logins, asks to save new ones, and lets you look up or create entries from the toolbar.

How it works

Four things the extension does

Install it once. Sign in with the same Optanik account you already use for Keyring. After that it fills logins, offers to save new ones, and lets you look up or create entries from the toolbar.

1. Download

Pick Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari and save the zip for that browser.

2. Install

Unzip the file, then load it as an unpacked extension. The steps below walk through each browser.

3. Sign in

Click the Keyring icon and use your Optanik email and password. MFA codes work from the same popup.

4. Use it

Fill a page, save after you log in, search the vault, or create a login by hand.

Download for your browser

Each button gives you a zip made for that browser. Chrome and Edge use the same Chromium package. Firefox and Safari have their own install steps.

Open the popup and use your Optanik account

  1. Click the Keyring icon in the toolbar.
  2. Enter the same email and password you use on the Keyring site.
  3. If you use MFA, pick Authenticator, Email, or Telegram. For email or Telegram, tap Send code, then type the code.
