Applies To
Applies to: CommBox Classic S5 (Goanna firmware), CommBox AutoFill, CommBox Accounts
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Store credentials securely in your Vault
CommBox AutoFill stores usernames and passwords so you don’t need to re-type them daily.
Step 2: Use your CommBox Account to access AutoFill
AutoFill integrates with your CommBox Account, so your Vault is tied to you.
Step 3: Unlock with a PIN on the screen
A PIN adds a protective step before credentials appear, which is ideal in front-of-room scenarios.
Step 4: Rely on encryption and privacy safeguards
The guide states credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest, not visible to other users, and not shared without permission.
Step 5: Understand automatic re-PIN prompts
You’re prompted to re-enter the PIN every 5 minutes as a safety feature if you step away.
💡 Tip: This approach suits shared classrooms and meeting rooms because it reduces the chance of credentials being exposed.
Troubleshooting / What to Do If It Doesn’t Work
-
If you forget the PIN, you need to reset the Vault, and saved passwords are erased and can’t be recovered. (See page 7)
