Firefox Support
The MyKey Firefox extension will be installed automatically during the MyKey software installation. At the first start of the browser you will be asked to confirm the installation of the MyKey extension. The
Firefox extension will be also instantly available even if you install Firefox after MyKey.
Additionally, you should deactivate the built-in password manager of Firefox. Use "Tools" menu to open the "Preferences" dialog. Select the category "Privacy & Security" / "Passwords" and disable the option "Remember passwords".
For reasons of security, you should delete all passwords previously saved in Firefox. This guarantees that all passwords will be stored on the MyKey card in the future.
The bookmarks will appear in a new submenu of the browser's context menu called "CHIPDRIVE
MyKey". To add the current page to the bookmarks on the MyKey card, select "Add to Bookmarks" from this menu. To display the main window of bookmarks, select "Manage Bookmarks".

General
To run MyKey automatically when starting Windows, check one of the options "Run MyKey automatically for this user" or "Run MyKey automatically for all users". If you choose "all users", the application will be started for any user that logs on to the system. However, under Windows Vista/7 you will have to answer a User Account Control dialog before this setting can be saved.
Under Windows Vista/7 there is an additional option: "Run MyKey automatically requesting
Administrator privileges". If this option is selected, MyKey will be started with administrator privileges.

However, this means you will have to answer a User Account Control prompt every time you start
Windows. This option is only necessary if you want to enter passwords in an application which requires
Administrator privileges, since in this case MyKey can only access the application if it has
Administrator privileges as well. Such applications should be very rare, so we recommend using this setting only when such an application is used.
Passwords
Under "Save Passwords", you can select whether MyKey should prompt you to save a password
automatically or only at your request - in the latter case, you can request saving a password using the
displayed in your browser or in the application.

Fill Forms
in the latter case, you can request filling a form using your browser's context menu.
You can define exceptions to this setting by clicking "Define Exceptions" in the main window.
The option "Fill in forms containing a number of [ ] fields" determines the number of fields as of which a form is recognized as a form. This lets you prevent single fields, e.g. email addresses for newsletter subscriptions from being filled in automatically. This option is enabled by default.
Bookmarks
The bookmarks on the MyKey card are stored in a folder in the Windows Favorites directory. The name can be changed. To restore the original name, click "Default".
Deactivate the "Show folder" option if you don't want the bookmarks to be shown in the Favorites folder.
1.4.5
The CHIPDRIVE MyKey card
The MyKey card is your secure storage device for private data,such as passwords or profiles. MyKey saves its confidential data on the MyKey card. This considerably increases the security of your data.
The MyKey card has its own processor as well as storage space for data. The smart card will save the data without any time limits.
For protection against misapplication the MyKey card contains a self-destruction-mechanism. In case the password query for the MyKey card has been activated and the maximum number of retries has been reached, the smart card will block itself. Afterwards it cannot be operated any longer and also it cannot be repaired. The maximum number of invalid PIN attempts is 3.
Note: You can order MyKey cards directly from our Webshop at www.chipdrive.net

Tips Regarding Smart Card Care
Although smart cards are relatively immune to environmental influences, they should be handled carefully. Clean MyKey cards with a soft cloth only and never use cleaners that contain solvents. Do not expose the MyKey card to strong magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.

1.6.2
The Edit Menu
To change the settings or the contents of a profile, left-click the profile and then click “Properties”. A menu opens containing the following menu items:
Use as default profile — If you have more than one profile on your MyKey card, you can define one of them as the default profile. MyKey uses the default profile to fill in a form immediately without having to prompt you which profile to use. The default profile is marked with a tick in the profile list.
Deactivate default profile — When there is no default profile defined and there is more than one profile on the MyKey card, MyKey will ask you which profile should be used to fill in a form. See
for details.
Duplicate profile — Select "Duplicate profile" to produce a duplicate of a profile. The duplicated profile can then be edited. For example, you can change only the address in order to produce a profile with your business address in addition to the one with your private address. In this case, you change only the address, leaving the name and date of birth unchanged. For example, use the name "John
Doe – business" for this profile.
Edit profile — Select "Edit profile" or double-click the corresponding entry in the list to edit a profile.
Delete profile — Select a profile and choose "Delete profile" or press the DEL key to remove the profile from the MyKey card.

1.6.3
Filling Forms
With the default settings ("Fill in forms automatically" selected in the
settings dialog ), forms are filled in
automatically once they are displayed. If several profiles are stored, but none of them is selected as the default profile, you will be prompted to select the profile to be used.
If you want to disable this automatic behaviour for a certain site, you can create an
site.
If you don't want forms to be filled in automatically at all, select "Fill in only at user's request" in the settings dialog.
To request filling in a form on sites where forms are not filled in automatically, click "Fill Form" in the browser's
context menu . This menu item can also be used to fill in a form using another profile if it has
already been filled in.
Note: Although care has been taken to support as many websites as possible, due to the variety of technologies used to generate web pages we can't guarantee that filling forms will work correctly with every web page. If a form is not filled in automatically, you can try using the "Fill Form" menu item.
After filling in a form, please check that the data has been filled in correctly.
Tip: If a default profile is defined, you can still enter another profile by using the context menu. If the default profile has already been entered automatically, clicking "Fill Form" in the context menu will display the profile selection dialog.

How do I protect my MyKey card from misuse?

MyKey card or to change an existing one.

Internet Explorer Support
MyKey supports Internet Explorer Version 6 and higher. In order for passwords to be stored only on the MyKey card in the future, enable the following setting:
Select "Internet Options" in the "Tools" menu. Now open the dialog "AutoComplete Settings" on the
"Contents" tab. Make sure that the "User names and passwords on forms" checkbox is unchecked.
Tip: You should delete all passwords already saved by Internet Explorer in order to make sure that passwords are only read from the MyKey card in the future. To do so, click "Clear passwords".

22 CHIPDRIVE MyKey Manual privileges (low integrity level). When using an "unlimited" Administrator account (account without User
Account Control prompts on a system with activated User Account Control), Internet Explorer is not supported. Internet Explorer is only supported for user and administrator accounts with User Account
Control prompts (the default account type under Windows Vista) or when User Account Control is deactivated altogether (not recommended).
1.9.4
Firefox Support
The MyKey Firefox extension will be installed automatically during the MyKey software installation. At the first start of the browser you will be asked to confirm the installation of the MyKey extension. The
Firefox extension will be also instantly available even if you install Firefox after MyKey.
Additionally, you should deactivate the built-in password manager of Firefox. Use "Tools" menu to open the "Preferences" dialog. Select the category "Privacy & Security" / "Passwords" and disable the option "Remember passwords".
For reasons of security, you should delete all passwords previously saved in Firefox. This guarantees that all passwords will be stored on the MyKey card in the future.
The bookmarks will appear in a new submenu of the browser's context menu called "CHIPDRIVE
MyKey". To add the current page to the bookmarks on the MyKey card, select "Add to Bookmarks" from this menu. To display the main window of bookmarks, select "Manage Bookmarks".
