Use trace files

After you report a problem to Kaspersky Technical Support specialists, they may ask you to generate a report with information about the operation of Kaspersky Password Manager and send it to Kaspersky Technical Support. Technical Support specialists may also ask you to create a trace file. The trace file makes it possible to perform a step-by-step examination of the execution of application commands and determine when errors occur.

If Technical Support specialists need more detailed information about your problem, they will ask you to change the application settings in system tools on your computer. Technical Support specialists will give you all the information you need to perform these actions (step-by-step instructions, what settings should be changed, scripts, additional command line options, debugging modules, special utilities, etc.) and they will inform you of what data to provide for debugging purposes.
