+* In the popup that appears,
+** first, confirm the name of the keyring is the one you created above. In the example, it is "Work".
+** In the "description" field, enter a suitable name for the online account or application for which you are storing the password. For example, it could be "My Google account" if you are storing your Google account's password.
+** Enter the password in the "Password" field. The password will be masked as you type. To confirm you have entered your password correctly, click on the key icon next to the field which will unmask the password temporarily.
+* Then, click "add".
+* You will now see an entry for this password.
+* Follow the above steps to add all your passwords.

+Note that you did not specify your login name or user name anywhere. If your login name is the same as your e-mail id or your name or a short version of your name, you can avoid typing it in. It is a simple security measure to add as minimal information as required in the password manager. If your login name is more complicated, like say 'K14227420' that you cannot memorize, then add this to the description field. Example. "My office login (K14227420)".
