Extra safety for logins

  1. Log in before you start recording

    , if the login isn't part of what you're showing.

  2. If it is, use a demo account with a throwaway password

    If it is, use a demo account with a throwaway password.

  3. Check the result

    scrub through the login part in the editor before exporting.

Frequently asked questions

Are password lengths visible?

No. The whole field is blurred, including the dots.

What about one-time codes?

Codes in normal text fields aren't detected automatically. Alt+click the field while recording, or add a blur area.
