Set Up Mobile Unlock For Norton Password Manager

by Karry Kuster (2021-05-11)








The Mobile Unlock feature lets you unlock your Password Manager vault using a desktop browser by approving a notification on your mobile device. Each time you launch your desktop browser with the Norton Password Manager extension installed, a vault unlock request notification is automatically sent to your registered mobile device. Once you approve the unlock request on the mobile device, your vault automatically unlocks in the browser.
