About Kaspersky Password Manager

Kaspersky Password Manager protects all your passwords and other sensitive information (for example, passport details, and financial or medical records) with a single master password. You can install Kaspersky Password Manager on desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices running Microsoft Windows, macOS, Android, or iOS to keep all your data safe and in sync.

Keep your passwords and other important information at your fingertips

Kaspersky Password Manager stores the following types of information:

  • Logins and passwords for websites and apps
  • Bank card details
  • Images
  • Addresses
  • Text notes

For more information, see Data types protected by Kaspersky Password Manager.

Automatically fill out forms and sign in to websites

When you open a website that requires a login and password, Kaspersky Password Manager uses the stored website accounts to fill out forms or sign you in automatically. Learn more.

Protect your sensitive information

Kaspersky Password Manager stores all data in encrypted form and decrypts it only when you enter your master password. Kaspersky Password Manager doesn't store your master password anywhere, and no one knows it except for you. There is no way to access your data without the master password—if you lose it, you will also lose access to your data. Learn more.

If your device runs Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication and fingerprint authentication is enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the master password. Find more information about configuring and using fingerprint authentication on the Android Wear Help Center.

Sync data across multiple devices

Keep your data up-to-date and consistent on all your devices and restore your data if you replace or lose a device. Learn more.

Manage your data online

How Kaspersky Password Manager protects your data

Kaspersky Password Manager encrypts data using a symmetric key algorithm based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). A key is derived from your master password using Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2).

The AES algorithm is used worldwide to protect top-secret data. This algorithm has low RAM requirements, which means your data is encrypted and decrypted within seconds.

Master password

The master password is a single password that Kaspersky Password Manager uses to protect all your data, including other passwords. You create the master password during the initial setup of Kaspersky Password Manager. Every time you try to access the data vault, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you for the master password. If your device runs Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication and fingerprint authentication is enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the master password.

It is recommended that you set a master password that is at least eight characters long and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.

For security reasons, Kaspersky Password Manager doesn't store the master password on any of your devices or in cloud storage. We recommend that you memorize your master password, or write it down and keep it in a secure place, because it can't be restored or recovered if forgotten.

If you forget your master password, you will no longer be able to access your data. In this case, you will have to create a new vault and protect it with a new master password. Then you will be able to add new data to the vault.

Data types protected by Kaspersky Password Manager

You can add several types of entries to Kaspersky Password Manager and organize your entries by moving them into folders.

Website and app accounts

An account is a combination of a login and password required to authenticate a user on a website or in an app.

For websites, Kaspersky Password Manager saves the following information to the entry:

  • Website name. Use a meaningful website name to quickly find the website that you want to edit or log in to.
  • Website address. Kaspersky Password Manager uses this field to recognize a website's sign-in page and offer accounts you can use to sign in.
  • Accounts. You can save multiple accounts for a website. For example, you might have personal and business email addresses from the same email provider.

For apps, Kaspersky Password Manager saves the following information to the entry:

  • App name. Use a meaningful name to quickly find the entry you need.
  • Accounts. You can save multiple accounts for an app.

For quicker access, accounts for websites and accounts for apps are stored separately.

Bank cards

You can add bank card numbers, other details, PINs, and the card issuer's customer support contact information to Kaspersky Password Manager.

Addresses

You can save addresses, names, email addresses, and phone numbers in address entries.

Images

You can store important images (for example, scanned IDs) in Kaspersky Password Manager to keep them safe and always close at hand.

Notes

You can use notes to store any kind of text information.

Notes are encrypted and stored the same way as other data types.

You can use the clipboard to copy and paste note text to a web page or application.

Update the app from previous version

If you update to Kaspersky Password Manager 9.0 from earlier versions, your web accounts, app accounts, and notes will remain unchanged. However, your identities will be converted into bank card, address, and note entries. If an identity contains a bank card without a number, Kaspersky Password Manager fills it out with zeros. Kaspersky Password Manager saves identity fields containing information other than bank card or address data (e.g. personal information, financial or business information) to new notes.

You can update Kaspersky Password Manager using the Google Play service.

To update the app using Google Play you must:

  • Have a Google Account.

About the subscription

A subscription for Kaspersky Password Manager Premium is the purchase of the right to use the application according to specific parameters (for example, subscription expiration date, number of devices). You can order a subscription for Kaspersky Password Manager from a service provider (for example, on Google Play or the App Store).

You can manage your subscription via your personal account page on the service provider's website (for example, via your Apple account or Google Account).

    Known issues

    While using the app, take into account your device's specifics and follow the guidelines in the documentation for your device.

    Kaspersky Password Manager has the following known issues:

    • The vault status icon might not be displayed in the notification bar on certain devices even though the corresponding setting is turned on.
    • On HTC devices, you can only enter the password into the password field in English using the standard keyboard. You can't change the language. To use the app on HTC devices, use a password that contains only symbols found in the English keyboard layout.
    • Setting up the app for the first time on a new device may take considerable time if the existing cloud storage is too big.
    • Changing the master password may take considerable time if the existing cloud storage is too big.
    • After the license expires, the app prompts the user to download images from the cloud storage to Kaspersky Password Manager. This may take considerable time if the user has selected a large number of images not previously downloaded.
    • Considerable time may be required to simultaneously add a large number of images to the cloud storage. If Kaspersky Password Manager stops responding, the sync will continue the next time the app is started.
    • Issues with autofilling logins and passwords in Chrome:
      • If the app prompts to turn on accessibility features while the setting is already enabled, try to turn it off and then turn it on again. If the problem persists, restart the device or contact Technical Support.
      • On certain devices, logins and passwords may not be autofilled or may not be autofilled correctly in Chrome. This may be due to specifics of the firmware. To resolve the issue:
        • On Huawei devices, you can add Kaspersky Password Manager to the list of apps that are never stopped by the system when the device is blocked.
        • On Xiaomi devices, you can add Kaspersky Password Manager to the list of apps that are allowed to run in the background.

    AO Kaspersky Lab

    Kaspersky Lab is a world-renowned vendor of systems protecting computers against digital threats, including viruses and other malware, unsolicited email (spam), and network and hacking attacks.

    In 2008, Kaspersky Lab was rated among the world’s top four leading vendors of information security software solutions for end users (IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Revenue by Vendor). Kaspersky Lab is the preferred vendor of computer protection systems for home users in Russia (IDC Endpoint Tracker 2014).

    Kaspersky Lab was founded in Russia in 1997. It has since grown into an international group of companies with 38 offices in 33 countries. The company employs more than 3,000 skilled professionals.

    Products. Kaspersky Lab products provide protection for all systems, from home computers to large corporate networks.

    The personal product range includes security applications for desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, smartphones and other mobile devices.

    The company offers protection and control solutions and technologies for workstations and mobile devices, virtual machines, file and web servers, mail gateways, and firewalls. The company's portfolio also features specialized products providing protection against DDoS attacks, protection for industrial control systems, and prevention of financial fraud. Used in conjunction with centralized management tools, these solutions ensure effective automated protection for companies and organizations of any size against computer threats. Kaspersky Lab products are certified by major test laboratories, compatible with software from diverse vendors, and optimized to run on many hardware platforms.

    Kaspersky Lab virus analysts work around the clock. Every day they uncover hundreds of thousands of new computer threats, create tools to detect and disinfect them, and include their signatures in databases used by Kaspersky Lab applications.

    Technologies. Many technologies that are now part and parcel of modern anti-virus tools were originally developed by Kaspersky Lab. It is no coincidence that many other developers use the Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine in their products, including: Alcatel-Lucent, Alt-N, Asus, BAE Systems, Blue Coat, Check Point, Cisco Meraki, Clearswift, D-Link, Facebook, General Dynamics, H3C, Juniper Networks, Lenovo, Microsoft, NETGEAR, Openwave Messaging, Parallels, Qualcomm, Samsung, Stormshield, Toshiba, Trustwave, Vertu, and ZyXEL.
