Synchronizing data on all devices

Data synchronization lets you use and maintain an up-to-date version of the data vault on all your devices, and lets you restore data if your device is replaced or lost. For example, you can add new accounts for websites in Kaspersky Password Manager on your laptop, and then log in to those websites under new accounts from a 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 account for connecting to the My Kaspersky portal. If you do this, you will be able to automatically and manually synchronize data.

Kaspersky Password Manager automatically synchronizes data between the vault and online vault in the following cases:

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

Internet access is required for data synchronization.

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

To disable automatic synchronization:

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.
   

   This check box enables or disables automatic synchronization of data across all your devices with Kaspersky Password Manager installed.

   If the check box is selected, automatic synchronization of data across all devices is enabled.

   If the check box is cleared, automatic synchronization of data across all devices is disabled.

   By default, this check box is selected.

Data synchronization will be 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.

The application will enable automatic data synchronization. The Synchronize passwords and data across all your devices with Kaspersky Password Manager installed check box will be selected. After enabling automatic synchronization, you can manually synchronize data.

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 will synchronize data in the data vault and in the online vault.
