Installing the browser extension and mobile app gives you access to Passwork from any device. Both tools support autofill, password generation, and full vault access.

## Browser extension

The Passwork browser extension is available for all major browsers.

| Mozilla Firefox | [Firefox Add-ons](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/passwork-self-hosted/) |

### Connect the extension to Passwork

After installing the extension from your browser's store, open it and enter your organization's Passwork URL (e.g., `https://passwork.yourcompany.com`) in the host address field. Click the blue arrow, then sign in with your credentials.

### Disable the browser's built-in password manager

Built-in browser password managers can interfere with Passwork autofill. Disable the browser's own password manager after installing the extension.

For step-by-step instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari, see [Browser Extension: Getting Started](https://passwork.pro/user-guides/browser-extension/getting-started/).

For full mobile app setup instructions, see [Passwork Self-hosted — Getting started](https://passwork.pro/user-guides/apps/mobile-apps/passwork-self-hosted/getting-started/).

## Desktop app

A native desktop application is available for Windows and Linux for environments where a browser extension is not suitable. Ask your administrator whether the desktop app is deployed in your organization.

See [Desktop application](https://passwork.pro/tech-guides/administration/desktop/intro/) for download and installation instructions.
