6. In just a few moments, Sticky Password will be installed on your computer. Click Finish to exit the installer and launch Sticky Password for the first time.



7. Welcome to the First Run Wizard, where we'll walk you through a few important settings!

   Click Begin to get started.

8. Create a new account, or to connect to an existing one:

   If this is the first time you're using Sticky Password, click Create a new Account. The email address you use will be the unique identifier for your account. This address must be a valid email address.

   If you already have a StickyAccount, click I have an Account to enter your StickyAccount authentication credentials — you'll be prompted to enter your StickyID (your email address that you used when you initially set up your account) and your Master Password.

   

9. In the steps that follow, we’ll look at creating a new StickyAccount.

   Enter your valid email address (your StickyID) and create your Master Password. Your Master Password is the strong password that you will use to lock and unlock the Sticky Password app, and log into your StickyAccount.

   💡 Note: your Master Password is the only password you have to remember. You will use it to protect your passwords in your personal encrypted database, and log into your StickyAccount. Only you know your Master Password.

   Click Create my Account.

   

10. Confirm your Master Password. Re-enter your Master Password to make sure there are no typos. Make sure you read and understand the information about your Master Password. Click Agree and Continue.



11. Choose from the following sync options:

    Cloud backup and sync is enabled by default — have your encrypted data seamlessly and securely synced on all your devices, and backed up via our secure cloud servers.

    Or, choose Local backup and sync over your network — your encrypted database never leaves your device.

    Either way, your database is accessible only to you, and only on your devices.

    Regardless of the choice you make during the installation, you will be able to manage your backup and sync settings later.

    Click Continue.



12. Dark Web Monitoring

    Sticky Password provides real-time credential checking to protect you from threats on the dark web. By default, this feature is enabled for Premium users.

    Click Continue or change the setting to your preference.



13. Sticky Password works through extensions in your favorite browsers.

    Sticky Password offers to install the extension in your computer’s default browser, or scroll to the right to choose another browser in which the Sticky Password extension will be installed.

    You’ll be able to add and remove other browsers later, too.

    Choose the browser and click Install now.

    

💡 Note: If you choose to install the Sticky Password extension in multiple browsers during this step, then you'll need to complete the installation of the browser extension(s) in each selected browser. Simply follow the instructions in the newly opened window in each browser. You can also check out our tutorials for Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based).

14. You’re all set!

    You’ve completed the First Run Wizard and are ready to begin using Sticky Password. Click Start to launch Sticky Password.

    When installing the application for the first time — as a special gift from us — you have 30 days of the Premium version for free!

    If you purchased Sticky Password and created a StickyAccount using the same email address for your StickyID that you used to buy Sticky Password, then your subscription will be activated automatically on all your devices.

    If for some reason, your subscription is not activated, click I have a License Key and enter the License Key you received when you purchased Sticky Password.

    

    Sticky Password lives in the notification area in the lower right corner of your desktop. If you don't see the icon, click the arrow to display any hidden icons.
