Password Check

Your accounts are at greater risk if they have the same or weak passwords (for example, qwerty, 12345) or passwords based on information that can be easily guessed or obtained (for example, names of relatives or dates of birth).

With Kaspersky Password Manager, you can quickly find out how strong your passwords are and whether the same passwords are used in multiple accounts.

Check for compromised passwords

For additional security, Kaspersky Password Manager checks whether your passwords have been hacked or leaked.

The app uses Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) to check for compromised passwords. The app generates SHA-256 message digests from each password in your vault and compares them with SHA-256 messages from a database of compromised passwords. If the SHA-256 messages match, the app warns you that your password is compromised and you should change it.

Kaspersky Password Manager only checks active entries for compromised passwords.

For each password stored for a website or app account, Kaspersky Password Manager displays:

• Whether the password is compromised.
• How many times a compromised password has been hacked.
• Password strength: low or medium.

  If you have a strong password, no information about password strength is displayed.

• Number of accounts that share the same password.
• List of websites or apps that have accounts with duplicate passwords.
