Manage HSM credentials

Change HSM Credentials

Editing an existing HSM credential might prevent Password Safe from decrypting a credential. This occurs if the encryption key name configured in the HSM credential does not match the encryption key name that was used to encrypt a credential. For this reason, editing the key name is not permitted.

To edit HSM credentials:

  1. Right-click an existing credential.

  2. Select Edit Credential.

  3. Select the required cells and modify the values of:

    • 32-bit Driver Path

    • 64-bit Driver Path

    • Slot

    • Description

    • PIN

  4. Select Save.

Delete existing HSM credentials

Deleted credentials cannot be recovered. Password Safe will be unable to decrypt any credentials encrypted with this HSM credential.
  1. Right-click a credential.

  2. Select Delete Credential.

    A confirmation dialog appears.

  3. Confirm the deletion.

  4. Select Save and Close.
