This release is a major step forward in terms of design, functionality, and security and goes well beyond mere improvement. Let’s dive into the new features that dramatically streamline and harden password management.

Password Generator for Enhanced Security
JumpCloud's password generator tool takes the stress and difficulty out of creating secure passwords by automating the process. Users or administrators can set specific requirements such as character length and types, and the tool generates completely random passwords. This removes the human factor from password creation, ensuring optimal security.
Key Features of JumpCloud's Password Generator:
- Completely Random: The JumpCloud password generator ensures the randomness of generated passwords, eliminating predictability. Users can define parameters like character length and readability, leaving the rest to the tool.
- Seamless Integration: The password generator seamlessly integrates into the JumpCloud Password Manager app or browser extension, providing users with a convenient way to generate, save, and implement secure passwords directly from their preferred platform.
Adding Passwords from a Website
Adding passwords as you log into a site is easy and quick. As you sign into a site, the JumpCloud Password Manager will prompt you to save passwords and will present the option to use a generated password for added security. You can choose whether to ignore the prompt or fill out the form and will have the opportunity to edit and organize the item into a specific folder.
You can create a unique password once you have entered your email or created a username. Following this step, you can choose between ignoring or filling out the form based on your preference. To save your username and password, select the "Add" option. Also, you can use the Edit icon if you'd like to include more information. Also, if you'd like, you can assign the item to a specific folder for better organization.
Conclusion
JumpCloud Password Manager Browser Extension v2.0 has a new design, enhanced settings, and an intuitive user experience. These updates show JumpCloud’s dedication to continuous improvement and, most importantly, protecting your digital identity. Upgrade your JumpCloud Password Manager Extension on February 7, 2024, to enter a new era of security and convenience.
Great work! Is there a way to configure the password manager to detect a custom field?
The manager incorrectly detects the field in the screen below. It populates Description field instead of the Connect ID.
