Managing Kaspersky Password Manager extensions
The Kaspersky Password Manager extension is intended for the following purposes:
- automatically save logins and passwords entered on websites;
- automatically fill entry fields on websites with logins and passwords;
- evaluating password strength when registering an account or changing login credentials;

button. - In the application tray menu, select the Settings item.
- The application settings window opens.
- In the left part of the window, select the Browsers section.
- In the right part of the window, click the Install extension button next to the name of the browser whose extension you want to install.
The extension of the selected browser is now installed.
Specific considerations of installing browser extensions
Microsoft Internet Explorer browser extension is installed for all accounts of device users. To stop using Microsoft Internet Explorer browser extension, you can disable it. This change will not affect the accounts of other device users. The extension can be disabled only in the web browser settings window.
Kaspersky Password Manager can install extensions for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Yandex.Browser as soon as these browsers are installed on the computer. Before installing the extension for Mozilla Firefox, you must open and close the browser.
After installing the browser extension, you can get a web page markup using the following script:
(function(){var e=document.createEvent("Event");e.initEvent("kpm_getSiteMarkup",!0,!0);document.dispatchEvent(e)})();
The script can be run in the console of any supported browser.
