Changing the master password

The master password is created when Kaspersky Password Manager is used for the first time. You can change the master password later.

The current master password cannot be changed if the data vault contains records that are unavailable during automatic logon on websites or autofill of login and password fields when there is no connection to My Kaspersky portal or the automatic synchronization of data with the online vault is disabled.

To change the master password:

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 right part of the window, click the Change master password button.
6. If the vault contains accounts that are not available for use, delete them or switch to Kaspersky Password Manager Premium.
7. In the upper part of the Master password window that appears, in the Current master password field, enter the current master password.
8. In the New master password field, enter the new master password.

   Kaspersky Password Manager automatically tests the strength of your password and displays its strength level next to the New master password field.

9. In the Confirm master password field, enter the new master password again.
10. Click OK.

The current master password is now replaced with the new master password.

If you have changed the master password on one device, when the vault on another device is being synchronized with the online vault Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to enter the new master password.
