3.1.0 Release Notes

October 21, 2021

Product Enhancements

The user interface of the Web Password Filler has been redesigned for improved usability.

  • The main WPF window, which opens when you click the active Web Password Filler icon in the upper right corner of your browser, displays two new tabs. One tab lists Recently-used secrets and the other lists secrets the user has marked as Favorites, for quick access.

  • The footer of the main WPF window now indicates the URL of the Secret Server the user is logged into.

  • When a user hovers their cursor over a Secret in the main WPF window, a Fill icon appears. If the URL in the secret matches the URL of the active browser tab, clicking the icon fills in the user’s credentials on the page. If the URL in the Secret does not match the active browser tab, clicking the icon brings the user to the page matching the URL in the Secret, where credentials can be filled in.

  • When a user clicks anywhere on a Secret panel in the main WPF window, the Secret Details view opens. When a user hovers their cursor over the URL, Username, or Password fields, a new Copy icon appears that the user can click to copy the content of that field. The user receives a Toaster confirmation when the information is copied. If the user attempts to copy a password that they lack permissions to view, a popup explains that they cannot copy it.

  • Web Password Filler can now be configured to have the Secret Server Login Window open in a new browser tab when the user disables or turns off the setting "Secret Server Login New Window."

  • When a user is accessing a website with a checked-out secret and the maximum checkout time has passed, WPF closes the associated path and deletes the cookies, ending the user’s logged-in session for improved security. The user then needs to check out the secret again to re-access the site through the Web Password Filler.

Known Issues

  • Chrome Version 92 and higher limits the screenshot rate to two screenshots per second. This may impact session recording, resulting in jumpy video, or in missed captures of clicks and keystrokes.

  • Safari does not support HTTP, so you must use a properly-formed HTTPS URL to connect to Secret Server.

  • If a user requests access to a Secret that requires approval but the user does not have that approval, the user receives a message indicating that access to the secret is denied.

  • When RegEx values are not valid, Web Password Filler displays an error message indicating that the user should contact their administrator for more information. Your Administrator may need to correct the RegEx pattern in the template on Secret Server.
