Passwords

Save and fill in your sign-ins, protected by Windows Hello and encrypted with your Windows account.

Luma can remember the passwords you use and fill them in for you. They are encrypted on this PC and never leave it.

Save a password

After you sign in to a site, Luma asks Save password for the site. Choose Save, Not now, or Never for this site. When you sign in with a new password for an account Luma already knows, it offers Update instead.

Luma offers to save passwords only on secure (HTTPS) pages, and never in private windows.

Sign in with a saved password

Click the username or password field on a sign-in page. Your saved accounts for that site appear under it: pick one and Luma fills in both fields.

Both behaviours have a switch in Settings › Passwords: Offer to save passwords and Sign in with saved passwords.

See and manage your passwords

Choose Passwords in the ⋯ menu, or go to Settings › Passwords and click Manage next to Saved passwords. There you can search, Add password, Edit or Delete one, and see the sites under Never saved for these sites.

Before Luma shows, copies, changes or exports a saved password, Windows Hello asks for your PIN, fingerprint or face. One confirmation lasts five minutes. If Windows Hello isn’t set up on this PC, Luma doesn’t ask.

A password you copy is cleared from the clipboard after a minute.

Import and export

  • From another browser: see Bring your data.
  • From a file: Import CSV… reads a passwords export from another browser or password manager. The file needs url and password columns.
  • Export… saves all your passwords to a Luma Passwords.csv file, after Windows Hello.

How they are protected

Each password is encrypted with Windows’ secure storage, which ties it to your Windows account on this PC. Passwords are not part of Sync and are never sent anywhere. If Windows encryption isn’t available, Luma doesn’t save passwords at all.
