This section explains the functionality of PassMan's Jira-specific features and how to use them properly.

With PassMan’s secure login link feature, you can store and share passwords (SSH keys, certs) in Jira tickets using super secure login links instead of storing plain text passwords.

With just a few clicks, you can add credentials to a ticket's description or comment fields, ensuring easy access to all business targets for your team!

Info

Please note that to share an account via a link, the specific username-password pair must already be stored in PassMan.

You can read more about this on the Features in PassMan Password ManagerEnterprise documentation page.

1. Get the browser extension

To utilize PassMan's Jira-specific features, first download the appropriate PassMan Secure Login browser extension from PassMan’s website.

PassMan Secure Login extension is currently available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (Safari coming soon) browsers.

In the top right corner of your browser, upon successful installation, a PassMan icon will appear.

It will be highlighted in red, indicating that you are not logged into PassMan yet.

This is because you haven't connected your existing password vault to the browser extension.

On this configuration page, you can also perform advanced settings. For more details, you can read about it in the Comprehensive Documentation covering PassMan's standalone functionalities.

Clicking on the link will automatically log the authorized user into the website or target system.

Access to the provided link is contingent upon proper authorization.

Confidential data stored in PassMan can only be accessed by users (Jira user) or groups (Jira group) with appropriate permissions.

Users without access rights will receive an error message indicating their inability to access the data.
