All changes

The desktop app runs in the background

Closing the Octa Pass window never quit the app, but on Windows and Linux there was no way back to it except the quick access shortcut. Now:

  • An icon in the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows, Linux) shows your vault, opens quick access, locks Octa Pass or quits it.
  • Octa Pass opens when you sign in to the computer, in the background and locked, so quick access, the browser extension, the SSH agent and AutoFill on the Mac work without opening it first.
  • Opening Octa Pass again shows the copy that’s already running instead of starting a second one.

Both are on by default. Turn either off in Settings → Running in the background, for that computer only; opening at login can also be turned off in the system’s own startup settings. See running in the background.
