To activate the Password Manager on your or someone else's user profile in the ESET HOME account, follow the instructions below:

Example of Available/Total Password Manager units

When you have 10 available Password Manager units, and you have already activated the Password Manager feature on 4 user profiles, the number 6/10 appears on the Password Manager tile. You have still 6 available Password Manager units for activation.
