Kaspersky Password Manager stores your logins, passwords, and other personal data, protecting them with a single master password.
All your data is stored in a special encrypted vault that can be accessed only with the master password. This method of data storage keeps your valuable information safe even if your device with Kaspersky Password Manager gets lost or stolen.
The application uses the master password to encrypt your data in the vault. Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you for the master password every time you attempt to access the vault.
A vault is an encrypted file containing all of your accounts, notes, and other personal data.
By default, the vault is located at the following path in Microsoft operating systems: %LocalAppData%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Password Manager.
To protect data, the vault gets locked after a period of inactivity. When the vault is locked, the application does not fill the login and password fields and does not perform automatic login on websites using your account credentials. You have to enter the master password to unlock the vault.
When the vault is unlocked, Kaspersky Password Manager fills the login and password fields and performs automatic login on websites using your account credentials.
The master password is not stored anywhere to protect the safety of your data. Memorize or write down your master password, because it is impossible to recover a forgotten master password.
Kaspersky Password Manager encrypts data using symmetrical encryption based on the AES algorithm (block size = 128, key size = 256, padding = PKCS7, mode = CBC).
