Web Browser Extension

The 12Port Web Browser Extension is a secure plugin designed to autofill credentials from the 12Port Enterprise Vault directly into website login forms. This integration occurs seamlessly between the 12Port platform, the extension, and the target web page, ensuring that credentials are never exposed visually during the process.

The extension provides users with a fast, secure, and streamlined method to authenticate to websites using credentials managed centrally within 12Port.

Availability

The 12Port Web Browser Extension is available for the following web browsers:

• Google Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/12port-browser-extension/edageplcobgmogdnjdpjoolipmpmohke
• Microsoft Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/12port-browser-extension/ocmhhcchfnaomemomdhahljfobchndfe

Configuration

To configure the browser extension after installation and before usage:

1. Open the extension from your browser’s toolbar.
2. Enter the full URL of your 12Port tenant where the credentials are stored. For example: https://12port.contoso.com/ztna/DevOps/root
3. A new browser tab will open and navigate to the 12Port tenant. If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to authenticate using your standard method. If you are already authenticated, access will be granted automatically.
4. Once authenticated, you may close the new tab and return to your browsing session.

Usage

To use the extension for credential autofill:

1. Navigate to the login page of a website for which credentials are stored in the 12Port Vault.
2. Open the browser extension and select the corresponding asset by name.
3. The extension will populate the login form with the selected credentials. In most cases, the login or sign-in button will be automatically triggered. If not, click the button manually to complete login.

This process allows for secure authentication without the need to manually enter or expose credentials on-screen.
