# URLs comparing types

Each URL in a ***Website*** entry has a comparing type associated to it. The comparing type determines if the Devolutions Password Manager browser extension should offer the entry as an available entry to perform autofill.

{% hint style="warning" %}
***Host*** is the default comparing type on all platforms.
{% endhint %}

### Base domain

Comparing type set to ***Base domain*** compares the URLs with the second-level domain plus the top-level domain. The URL <https://www.devolutions.net> would have the base domain value devolutions.net. Example:

* URL entry value: <https://www.devolutions.net>
* Comparing: <https://devolutions.net>, <https://forum.devolutions.net>, <https://exemple.forum.devolutions.net>, <https://forum.devolutions.net/#CLOUD>
* Not comparing: <https://devolutions.com>, <https://google.com>

### Compare Regex with url domain

Comparing type set to ***Compare regex with URL domain*** compares only the current browser URL domain to match with a regular expression.

### Compare Regex with full url

Comparing type set to ***Compare regex with full URL*** compares the current browser URL to match with a regular expression. Example:

* URL entry value: \*?.?devolutions.(com|net)
* Comparing: <https://devolutions.com>, <https://forum.devolutions.net>, <https://login.devolutions.com>, <https://server.devolutions.net>
* Not comparing: <http://devolutions.ca>, <https://sysadminotaur.com/>

### Exact

Comparing type set to ***Exact*** requires that the current browser URL exactly match the URL entry value. Example:

* URL entry value: <https://www.domain.com/index.html>
* Comparing: <https://www.domain.com/index.html>
* Not comparing: <https://www.domain.com> <http://www.domain.com/page.html> (not https) <https://www.domain.com/index.html?query=abc>

### Host

Comparing type set to ***Host*** compares the URLs with the hostname plus an optional port. The URL <https://sub1.domain.net:5000> would have the host value sub1.domain.net:5000. Example:

* URL entry value: <https://sub1.domain.net:5000>
* Comparing: <https://sub1.domain.net:5000>, <https://sub1.domain.net:5000/index.html>
* Not comparing: <https://domain.net>, <https://sub2.domain.net>, <https://domain.net>, <https://sub1.domain.com:6000>

### Never

Comparing type set to ***Never*** will never match the URL entry value. Example:

* URL entry value: <https://www.devolutions.net>
* Comparing: none
* Not comparing: <https://www.devolutions.net>, <https://devolutions.net>, <https://forum.devolutions.net/#CLOUD>

### Starts with

Comparing type set to ***Starts with*** requires that the current browser URL must start with the URL entry value. Example:

* URI starts with value: <https://sub.domain.com/path/>
* Comparing: <https://sub.domain.com/path/>, <https://sub.domain.com/path/page.html>
* Not comparing: <https://sub.domain.com/path> (missing trailing slash), <https://sub.domain.com>, <https://sub.domain.com:4000/path/page.html> (has a port)
