An Identity in Password Boss is a grouping of items like addresses, phone numbers, and credit cards that can be used together to make website form filling and online checkout fast and easy.
Before creating an identity, make sure you create the identity items that will make up the identity, like Your name, Phone NUmber, email addresses, etc. Create those by visiting the Personal Info section of the App.

Once you have added an image to gravatar.com, the image will be added to your Identity automatically.
