The Main window is displayed when Access Manager is first started.  It shows all the key information that is needed when working with passwords.

The panel on the left side of the window displays a list showing the titles/descriptions of all the passwords.  The right side of the window displays the details of the password that is currently selected in the list.  The Action Bar on the far left provides a shortcut to the most frequently used options.

Speed Search - Click anywhere on the list and start typing the first few letters of a password title.  As you type, each matching password will be displayed.  If you pause briefly then start typing again, a new search will begin.

Find - Allows you to search for a password by entering any part of its title/description.  Press Enter or click the 'Find First' button to find the first occurrence of your search.  Click the 'Find Next' button to find the next occurrence.

The Professional Edition of Access Manager contains an 'Extended Find' option, which searches username, password, passphrase, document or notes.  Select 'Find Using' on the Edit menu to use this option, or click on 'Find' in the Find bar.

Drag & Drop - Individual Usernames, Passwords, and Passphrases can be dragged from Access Manager and dropped on to any web site or program that supports Drag & Drop.

Notes - Unlimited notes can be entered directly in the main window.  Each note can contain any number of web site or e-mail addresses which when clicked will open the web page in your browser or e-mail software.  To store a clickable e-mail address in the notes, begin the e-mail address with 'mailto:'.

Filter - The down arrow on the title heading of the password list can be clicked to show a shortcut to the Filter menu.  This allows you to display only the passwords of a selected Type.

Toolbar - The Toolbar at the top of the window contains buttons which perform some of the most commonly used menu options. Hold the mouse pointer over a button to display a brief description.

Status Bar - The status bar is located at the bottom of the main window.  The left side shows the number of the currently selected password and the total number of passwords.  The right side displays today's date.  The centre of the status bar is used to show status messages.

Sizing Panels - When the mouse pointer is placed where the left and right panels meet in the middle, it changes to a sizing cursor. By dragging left or right with this cursor the panels can be resized.

The Toolbar, Action Bar, Status bar and Find Bar can each be hidden if required.  Click the View menu to select these options.
