This video walks you through installing, configuring and testing safepass.me®.

We recommend you read the rest of this page and our full documentation before you start, to avoid any surprises.

Before you install

To install safepass.me®, you need the following:

  • A 64-bit Windows Server Installation
  • It needs to be installed on all Domain Controllers (except Read Only ones if you have any).
  • No client-side software is required
  • Access to an admin account.

Installation

Download safepass.me® from our site using the following link:

The software is distributed as a Windows Installer (MSI). The Binary is signed by Matta Consulting Limited. Right click the installer and select Properties, then the Digital Signatures tab. This will let you verify the authenticode signature.

Common reasons for verification failure include:

  • Inaccurate server time
  • Missing or untrusted Certificate Authority
  • Missing windows patches that may affect verification
  • Tampered or corrupted download.

If verification fails, do not install the software.

Once the installer has been verified, double click it to start the install. Read and accept the EULA, select a destination folder and click Install. Finally, reboot the server to complete the installation.

The defaults should be fine for most use cases. To configure extra settings such as exclusions or overrides, see the documentation.

Testing it all works

After the reboot, to test that everything is working, try setting a password to Password1. This is a commonly compromised password that safepass.me® will block.
