To access and manage all your credentials, select: your profile picture (top right corner) ⇒ Settings ⇒ Data Source Credentials.
Adding New Account Credentials
In the Data Source Credentials section, you can add and remove credentials for all your data sources accounts. To add new account credentials follow the instructions below.
- In Data Source Credentials, click/tap on the + New blue button (upper right corner).
- The Add Credentials menu opens:
Here, you need to fill in the following information:
Username/Domain: the username or the name of the domain for the service.
Password: the password to access the service.
Alias: choose a name, which suggests the data source(s) you are going to access with these credentials. It will be displayed in the list of accounts when connecting to a data source.
- Click/tap on Add to finish the process. You will find your newly saved credentials at the bottom of the list in Data Source Credentials.
Using Your Stored Credentials
