After successful creation of the True Key profile and account, you will be asked to add some credentials. You can do this simply by clicking on the shown websites, visiting the login page and entering your login credentials. If the credentials text fields (where you enter your username, passwords etc) shows a True Key icon then True Key supports that website. The entered credentials are automatically sent over to Intel servers after encrypting them using AES 256 bit cipher.
