A window opens where you have to type a passphrase; see [Tails Best Practices](/posts/tails-best/#passwords) for notes on passphrase strength. You'll then [configure](https://tails.boum.org/doc/persistent_storage/configure/index.en.html) what you need to keep in Persistent Storage. Persistent Storage can be enabled for several types of data:
**Personal Documents:**
* **Persistent Folder**: Data such as your personal files, documents, or images that you're working on can be saved in the Persistent Storage on the Tails USB.
**System Settings:**
* **Welcome Screen**: Settings from the Welcome Screen can be saved in the Persistent Storage: language, keyboard, and additional settings.
* **Printers**: [Printer configuration](https://tails.boum.org/doc/sensitive_documents/printing_and_scanning/index.en.html) can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
**Network:**
* **Network Connections**: The passwords for Wi-Fi networks can be saved in the Persistent Storage, so you don't have to type them every time.
* **Tor Bridge**: When the Tor Bridge feature is turned on (for users in countries that censor Tor), the last Tor Bridge that you used is saved in the Persistent Storage.
**Applications:**
* **Tor Browser Bookmarks**: Tor Browser bookmarks can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
* **Electrum Bitcoin Wallet**: The bitcoin wallet and preferences can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
* **Thunderbird Email Client**: The email inbox, feeds, and OpenPGP keys of Thunderbird can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
* **GnuPG**: The OpenPGP keys that you create or import into GnuPG and Kleopatra can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
* **Pidgin**: The account files of this chat application (using the XMPP protocol) can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
* **SSH Client**: SSH is used to connect to servers. All files related to SSH can be saved in the Persistent Storage.
**Advanced Settings:**
* **Additional Software**: With this feature enabled, a list of additional software of your choice is automatically installed every time you start Tails. The corresponding software packages are stored in the Persistent Storage. They are automatically upgraded after a network connection is established. [Be careful with what you install](https://tails.boum.org/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html#warning).
* **Dotfiles**: On Tails and Linux in general, the name of configuration files often starts with a dot and are sometimes called "dotfiles" for this reason. These can be saved in the Persistent Storage. Be careful about what configuration settings you change, because altering default settings can break your anonymity.

#### Password Manager (KeePassXC)
If you're going to need to know a lot of passwords, it can be nice to have a secure way to store them (i.e. not a piece of paper next to your computer). KeePassXC is a password manager included in Tails (Application ▸ Favorites ▸ KeePassXC). In the terminology used by KeePassXC, a password is a randomized sequence of characters (letters, numbers, and other symbols), whereas a passphrase is a random series of words.
![seconds](seconds.png)
When you [create a new KeePassXC database](https://tails.boum.org/doc/encryption_and_privacy/manage_passwords/index.en.html#index1h1), in the **Encryption settings** window, increase the **Decryption time** from the default to the maximum (5 seconds). Then, select a [strong passphrase](/posts/tails-best/#passwords) and then save your KeePassXC file. This file will contain all your passwords/passphrases, and needs to persist between sessions on your Persistent Storage or on a second LUKS-encrypted USB as described in [Tails Best Practices](/posts/tails-best/#using-a-write-protect-switch). The decryption time setting of a pre-existing KeePassXC file can be updated: Database > Database Security > Encryption Settings.
As soon as you close KeePassXC, or if you don't use it for a few minutes, it will lock. Be careful not to forget your main passphrase. We recommend against using the auto-fill feature, because it is easy to fill your password into the wrong window by mistake.
