Hudu Assist (Browser Extension)

Hudu Assist is a browser extension that puts your team’s credentials, documentation, and knowledge at your fingertips.

Right from your browser, Assist helps you securely access and manage passwords, search your knowledge base, capture documentation, and streamline everyday tasks—without switching between tools.

With Hudu Assist, you can:

• Retrieve, copy, or generate credentials (including one-time passwords)
• Autofill and submit login or signup forms automatically
• Search for and access passwords from your Vault
• Create and save new credentials as you work

Hudu Assist also extends the power of Hudu into your daily workflow:

• Asset Helper – surfaces relevant Hudu information directly inside the tools your team already uses
• Screen Capture –makes it easy to create documentation with embedded screenshots - Check out our Screen Capture article for more details
• Knowledge Base Access - Search for any Central KB or any company KB directly within the Hudu Assist browser extension.

How to Log In to Hudu Assist

The first time you open the extension, you’ll see a splash screen prompting you to enter your Hudu host.

Enter your Hudu instance domain (for example, your company’s Hudu URL), or simply paste any URL from your Hudu dashboard. Once entered, you’ll be prompted to log in.

Asset Helper

Asset Helper brings Hudu directly into the tools your team is already using.

When working inside supported PSA or RMM platforms—such as HaloPSA, Syncro MSP, NinjaOne, ConnectWise Manage, and Autotask PSA. Asset Helper detects the asset you’re viewing and surfaces relevant information, including:

• Passwords
• Knowledge base articles
• Related assets and documentation

To see this information, you must be viewing an asset that also exists in your Hudu instance.
