Introduction

As your password collection grows, finding the right password quickly becomes essential. PassBangla's advanced search capabilities make it easy to locate passwords using multiple criteria and filters.

Basic Search

The basic search bar allows you to quickly search across password names, usernames, URLs, and notes. Simply type your query, and PassBangla will instantly filter your passwords to show matching results.

The search is case-insensitive and supports partial matching, so you don't need to remember exact spellings.

Field-Specific Search

For more precise searches, you can specify which fields to search. Choose to search only in names, usernames, URLs, or notes, or any combination of these fields.

This is particularly useful when you remember part of a URL but not the service name, or when you know a username but need to find which service it belongs to.

Filter by Tags and Folders

Combine search queries with tag and folder filters to narrow down results. For example, you can search for 'banking' passwords within a specific folder, or find all passwords tagged with 'work' that contain a certain keyword.

Folder filters support hierarchy, so selecting a parent folder will include all passwords in its subfolders.

Advanced Filters

Use built-in filters to find passwords that need attention:

• Weak passwords: Identify passwords that don't meet your security requirements

• Expiring passwords: Find passwords that are approaching their expiration date

• Favorites: Quickly access your most-used passwords

  • Weak passwords: Identify passwords that don't meet your security requirements
  • Expiring passwords: Find passwords that are approaching their expiration date
  • Favorites: Quickly access your most-used passwords

Saved Searches

Save frequently used search queries for quick access. Saved searches remember all your search criteria, including query text, field selections, tags, folders, and filters.

You can create saved searches for common scenarios like 'All work passwords', 'Banking accounts', or 'Passwords needing rotation'. Access them with a single click whenever you need them.

Search History

PassBangla automatically tracks your search history, making it easy to repeat recent searches. This is especially helpful when you're working on a specific project and need to access the same set of passwords multiple times.
