Finding and Replacing Secrets

This feature enables you to find any password or value saved in the miCASA credential store and change it to any value you desire. To search all values, enter an asterisk (*):

  1. In CASA Manager, click Edit > Find and Replace (Ctrl+F).
  2. Enter your master password to confirm, then click OK. The CASA Find and Replace window opens:

  3. In the Find value with: field, enter all or a portion of the case-sensitive password value you seek, or enter * to display all values.
    In this example, we enter the value test_pass and click the Find button.

    In the SecretID pane, the utility lists every credential and location where the value (test_pass) is found. If you want to view the value in clear text, click the Show Values in clear text box.

  4. To replace the existing password value, select one or more of the secrets listed in the SecretID panel.
    You can select a single secret by clicking it or select multiple secrets by using Ctrl+click, Shift+click, or Ctrl+A.

    KWallet enables you to store user secrets on a disk in an encrypted file. The wizard helps you to configure KWallet and we suggest you select the Basic setup option until you become familiar with the KDE Wallet system.

  5. Click the Replace Selected button, then click the Apply button to save the new value or click the Revert button to revert to the old value without saving the new value.
  6. Click the Cancel or OK button when you are finished using the utility.
  7. To verify the change, in this example, follow Step 1 through Step 3. In Step 3, type “changed” in the Find value with: after clicking the clear text box and entering your master password.


    The new value you set (changed_pass) has replaced your original password value.
    IMPORTANT: If you are using the examples in this documentation to test the functionality of CASA Manager, make sure you revert any test password values back to your original values.
