PIN lets you login faster on trusted devices. After setting PIN in some device, you can use PIN instead of username and password to login Password Manager in this device.

PIN introduction

  • PIN is a new feature introduced in v8.0, any string with length greater than 4 can be your PIN
  • Web browser needs fewer iterations of PBKDF2 to generate login_sig from PIN, thus, the speed of login can be improved
  • In your trusted devices, you can set a PIN after login and use PIN instead of username/password to login next time
  • Encrypt/Decrypt PIN-related information involves both client and server, so neither sides can make use of PIN alone
  • You are only allowed to try PIN 3 times. After 3rd error try, PIN information will be deleted and you have to login with your username and password, then you might reset your PIN.
