Get Started with Vault Password Manager

Create Vault Account

Access Vault Password Manager from the Jira main navigation menu: Apps → Vault Password Manager

To start using Vault Password Manager, you have to create your account. Click Accept button to authorize the app to access your Atlassian account.

Create Password

You will be automatically redirected to the Welcome page to create your Password, which acts as an additional security layer to your current Jira password. The Vault account password unlocks the app and decrypts the items for you.

Click Next to proceed with the password creation.

Create a strong and unique password that you will be able to remember. It should be of at least 8 characters. Confirm your password and click Next.

Download Recovery Key

A recovery key is a randomly generated 44-character code that you can use as an alternative way to regain access to your account in case of password loss. While it’s not required, Vault Password Manager uses a recovery key to improve security when signing in to the account.

Press DOWNLOAD button to download the autogenerated Recovery Key as the PDF file.

To ensure its safety, we recommend you print it and keep it somewhere safe.

In case of loss, you can generate a new Recovery Key. See the instruction here.
