Clearlogin Subdomain
Fill in your Clearlogin subdomain:

Application Grid Layout Size
Set your grid layout:
- Click on the gear icon to get to the password manager settings.
- Use the drop-down menu to set the number of columns used to show your application tiles. The higher the number, the smaller the app tiles. The default is 4 columns, and is the recommended number.
This setting only applies to the grid layout of the dashboard. It does not apply to the list layout.
Manage App Credentials
The Clearlogin Password Manager extension in your browser allows you to quickly access the apps in your dashboard. Some of these apps may need your username and password, and the password manager extension will prompt you to enter your credentials. Keep in mind you will only need to do this once per application for all of your computers and browsers. Your credentials are centrally stored and protected in your Clearlogin profile.
If you need to manage your sign in credentials (username & password) at a later date, you can do this in the Application Manager page in your Clearlogin dashboard. You can also hide applications and/or auto-launch applications in a new browser tab when you sign in.
The application manager is used to configure the following settings in each application in your Clearlogin dashboard:
- Username & Password – Manage your username & password for the application.
- Hide Application – Enable this to hide the app in your Workspace dashboard.
- Auto Launch – Enable this to automatically launch the application into a new browser tab after you sign in.
If you don't see entries for username & password, it's because the app doesn't require them, or doesn't support them.
To access the application manager page, click the wrench icon in the tool bar. If you have an app that requires a username and password, click on the pencil icon to modify the configuration.
The Application Manager page does not have a Save button. When you make changes, they are saved automatically. When you are done making your changes, click the Dashboard icon in the toolbar to take you back to your applications.
