Hi Brihy,

You can do that by changing the settings in password and security options.

Just open the NIS Main UI->Web->Identity Safe->Password & Security

Under this, make sure you select the options "No password required, automaticall login" this would do the job of logging into identity safe on each boot of your PC.

Hi Brihy,

"No password reqd" will be the last option below that set timer option.

It should be available for sure, can you just try to logout of the profile and login again and check?

Hi brihy1,

Did you move your ID safe data to your online Norton Account? This option is not available if you have your ID safe vault online. It is only available with a Local ID safe vault - e.g., kept on your local computer.

I'm sure this is by design because there is no way to properly secure your online ID safe if there is no password.

If you really want to have it log on automatically you will need to have your ID safe on your local computer.

I myself would not recommend that you have no password even if it is on your local computer.

Please let us know how you want to proceed. If you really want to use this option then we can explain how to change your ID safe to be stored locally again.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
