    Usage

    SafeInCloud offers two quick ways to autofill your logins in Chrome:

          Notifications panel
          Quick settings

    Note: The same mechanism works in most browsers like Opera, Brave, and Edge. However, some browsers, such as Firefox, do not support this autofill method.

    Option 1: Autofill via Notifications Panel


    1. Open Chrome and go to a page that requires login.
    2. Look for the SafeInCloud icon in your Notifications at the top of the screen.
    3. Pull down the notification, then tap it. (If needed, unlock the SafeInCloud app.)
    4. A popup with your logins will appear on top of Chrome.
    5. Select the desired credentials, and SafeInCloud will fill them in.

    Option 2: Autofill via Quick Settings


    1. Open Chrome and navigate to the login page.
    2. Swipe down from the top of your screen to open Quick settings.
    3. Tap the SafeInCloud icon (it becomes active when Chrome is open). (If needed, unlock the app.)
    4. A popup with your logins will appear on top of Chrome.
    5. Choose the correct login, and SafeInCloud will fill the fields automatically.

    Troubleshooting

    1. Check Battery Optimization
    1. Some phones use aggressive battery optimization that can block SafeInCloud.
    2. Open your phone’s Settings and search for Apps.
    3. Find SafeInCloud in apps and tap it.
    4. Turn off battery optimization for SafeInCloud or allow background usage (depends on model of your phone).


    2. Missing Card Suggestions
    1. Open the card in SafeInCloud.
    2. Ensure the Use for Autofill checkbox is on.
    3. Make sure the fields have correct attributes: User name, Password, Website.
