Sync Passwords across computers

These days we?re so involved in our work that anything could visibly ease our jobs is more than welcome! So, we thought, syncing passwords across computers might come very handy for many of us dealing with lots of web sites and passwords.

Let?s see how it works!

It?s like this: you change a password to a Web Replay login or macro on one computer, you can sync it in seconds on another, using a files sync provider like DROPBOX, Live Mesh or Folder Share.

The steps you have to follow in order to sync your passwords across computers

1. Install DROPBOX (click on the link to install it and create an account) or a files sync provider of your choice.

 

2. Create a new folder inside DROPBOX (open your DROPBOX  by double-clicking the system tray icon, next to the clock, and create a new folder, with a suggestive name like ? Web Replay sync)

 

3. Go to Web Replay management studio, at Computers (see the picture) and click Choose Sync Folder button to show Web Replay the path to this newly created folder in DROPBOX.

You?ll find it in My Documents folder.

From now on Web Replay will sync all the changes you make in its database on different computers (changing a password, saving a new login to a web site, bookmarking another, creating a new web macro etc.) in that DROPBOX folder.

NOTE: In order to realize the database synchronizing across computers you have to follow the same steps above once, on each computer you want to sync Web Replay database. Meaning you have to install DROPBOX on all computers and show Web Replay the same path to the syncing database folder you created inside DROPBOX! 

If you make changes in your database, on signing out Web Replay you?ll see DROPBOX system tray icon working, meaning it is saving the changes made in your database. Wait a few seconds until it stops before shutting down the computer.

Once your database gets synchronized by DROPBOX Web Replay will pick it up when you enter Master Password on another computer.

Is it safe to use a files sync provider?

Yes, it is military safe! Web Replay database is protected by a Master Password you set beforehand. The Master Password encrypts your database so that no one but you can access your sensitive data!
