Synchronizing data on all devices

Data synchronization lets you use and maintain an up-to-date version of the vault on all your devices, and lets you restore data if your device is replaced or lost. For example, you can add logins and passwords of web accounts to the vault from your laptop and then automatically sign into these web accounts from your tablet or smartphone on which Kaspersky Password Manager is installed.

To synchronize data on all your devices, you must install Kaspersky Password Manager on each device and, when Kaspersky Password Manager starts for the first time, specify the same My Kaspersky account. This allows synchronizing data both manually and automatically. Internet access is required for data synchronization.

Kaspersky Password Manager automatically synchronizes data in the following cases:

• When Kaspersky Password Manager connects to My Kaspersky for the first time.
• When changes are made to the vault.
• When changes are made to the vault from another device.

The status of data synchronization is displayed in the lower left corner of the main application window. Automatic synchronization is enabled by default.

To turn off automatic synchronization of data on all devices:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the lower part of the window, click the button.
3. In the application tray menu, select the Settings item.

   The application settings window opens.

4. In the left part of the window, select the General section.
5. In the Synchronization section, clear the Synchronize passwords and data across all your devices with Kaspersky Password Manager installed check box.

Automatic synchronization of data is now disabled.

To enable data synchronization:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the lower-left corner of the main application window, click the button.
3. In the window that opens, click the Enable synchronization button.

Automatic synchronization of data is now enabled. The application selects the Synchronize passwords and data across all your devices with Kaspersky Password Manager installed check box in the application settings.

If automatic synchronization is enabled but the data on your devices is out of sync, you can manually run synchronization.

To manually synchronize data:

1. Open the main application window.
2. In the lower-left corner of the main application window, click the button.
3. In the window that opens, click the Synchronize now button.

The application synchronizes data across all devices.
