  • Prompt to save credentials: Enable this setting to have WPF prompt you to save login credentials for future logins. Not recommended for shared systems. The prompt appears only when an existing secret is updated or when you enter credentials for a site with no associated secret.

  • Hide view only folders: Enable this setting to hide folders for which you have read-only access.

  • Show available credentials in popup: Enable this setting to display available credentials in a pop-up dialog.

  • Default position for Secret Popup: Enable this setting to display the Secret pop-up in the top-right corner of the screen. When disabled, the pop-up appears below the Delinea check symbol.

  • Enable auto populate: Enable this setting to have WPF automatically populate page fields when a secret is available for that site.

  • Exact Match Secret URL: Enable this setting to restrict WPF to populating fields only when the URL exactly matches the URL stored in the secret. WPF will not populate fields on variations of the URL, including sub-pages.

  • Secret Server Login New Window: Enable this setting to open the Secret Server login window in a new browser tab. When disabled, the login window opens in the current tab.

  • Advanced Settings > Session Recording Limit: Enable this setting to configure session recording time limits through the UI. Limits can be set in one-hour increments, from one to eight hours. The default is two hours.

  •  Advanced Settings > Input Threshold: Input Threshold limits the number of input fields WPF checks on a page, which helps prevent performance issues on complex sites. By default, WPF checks up to 10 input fields. If a page has more than 10 fields, WPF stops checking to avoid slowing down the site. Increasing this value may reduce performance on some sites.

  • Match Sessions by URL Host : Controls how session recording identifies sites. When enabled (default), recording is scoped to the specific subdomain — for example, launching mail.google.com records only that subdomain, not other google.com tabs. When disabled, WPF records based on the base domain, so launching mail.google.com would record any tab on google.com.
