The Workspace browser extension facilitates access to your credentials by automatically matching websites to saved credentials in Devolutions Hub Business website entries. It is also possible to filter through your entries via the Workspace browser extension to manually find your credentials.
After the installation of the Workspace browser extension and its pairing with Devolutions Hub Business, you can immediately use the extension to retrieve your credentials. However, you may want to modify some of the settings to customize your experience. We recommend that you follow the steps in the Settings section first: they will guide you through setting up the Workspace browser extension by suggesting best practices for retrieving credentials. You can also skip the configuration and go straight to Retrieving credentials.
