About Kaspersky Password Manager

Kaspersky Password Manager securely stores your data, protecting it with a master password.

Kaspersky Password Manager offers the following functionality:

• Data storage. Kaspersky Password Manager stores passwords to webmail, social networks, online stores, and other websites, as well as application passwords, contact information, bank card numbers and PIN codes, passport details, and other important personal data in the vault.
• Importing data. Kaspersky Password Manager lets you quickly gather all important data into one application. If you have previously used password managers embedded into browsers or other password management applications, you can easily transfer their stored logins and passwords into Kaspersky Password Manager.
• Autofilling of login and password entry fields. When you need to sign in on a website, Kaspersky Password Manager enters your login and password and logs you into the website automatically.
• Identity protection. Kaspersky Password Manager stores all data in encrypted form and decrypts it when you access it by entering the master password. The master password is not stored anywhere and only you know it.
• Automatic synchronization of data on all devices. Kaspersky Password Manager lets you automatically keep the data up to date on all your devices on which Kaspersky Password Manager is installed. This means that when you add data to Kaspersky Password Manager on one device, the application automatically sends this data to your online vault, and from the online vault to the rest of your devices. If you replace or lose your device, Kaspersky Password Manager lets you restore your data via synchronization.
• Data backup. Kaspersky Password Manager lets you create a backup copy of all data stored in the application at any time. If necessary, you can always recover data from the backup copy.

All users and devices connected to My Kaspersky portal under the same My Kaspersky portal account have access to the same online storage. If you do not want to allow a certain user or device to have access to the online vault, connect the user or device to the My Kaspersky portal with a different My Kaspersky portal account.

If you have downloaded the application from the My Kaspersky portal, Kaspersky Password Manager connects to the My Kaspersky portal automatically.

An Internet connection is required for connecting to the My Kaspersky portal.

To connect to the My Kaspersky portal:

1. In the window, enter the email address and password used to connect to the My Kaspersky portal.
2. Click the Sign In button.

2. In the account creation window on My Kaspersky portal, enter the email address and password that you want to use to sign in to My Kaspersky portal. Re-enter the password in the password confirmation field.
3. Click the Create account button.

Your My Kaspersky portal account is now created.

Selecting browsers

When it starts for the first time, the application prompts you to choose the browsers with which you want to use Kaspersky Password Manager. The application will install an extension for each of the selected browsers. Kaspersky Password Manager uses extensions to automatically fill the login and password fields and log into websites.

To install the Kaspersky Password Manager extensions in the browsers:

1. Prior to installing the extensions, make sure that the browsers with which you want to use Kaspersky Password Manager are closed.
2. In the list of browsers installed on the device and supported by the application, select browsers with which you want to use Kaspersky Password Manager.
3. Click the Continue button.

Extensions will be installed in the browsers that you selected. You will then be able to install extensions in other browsers or delete extensions from the browsers with which you do not want to use Kaspersky Password Manager.

When Kaspersky Password Manager extensions are installed, other password managers embedded into the browsers will be automatically disabled. This will help avoid conflicts when saving and inserting logins and passwords. Their functions will be performed by Kaspersky Password Manager.

Kaspersky Password Manager detects the installation of new browsers on your device and automatically prompts you to install the extensions for the new browsers.

Removing the application

Names of Microsoft Windows interface elements can vary in different versions of the operating system.

To remove Kaspersky Password Manager:

1. In the Start menu, select Control Panel Programs and Features.
2. In the list of installed applications, select Kaspersky Password Manager. Click Uninstall.

   The Kaspersky Password Manager Uninstall Wizard starts.

You can save the following Kaspersky Password Manager data for reuse before removing the application:

• Connection settings
• Application settings
• Vault

  Kaspersky Password Manager deletes the vault of only that operating system user who started the application removal process.

To delete application data when uninstalling Kaspersky Password Manager,

clear check boxes opposite the data that you want to delete.

If necessary, after application removal is finished, you can manually delete the vault file and the file that contains the application settings.

Creating the master password

Kaspersky Password Manager uses the master password to protect all your personal data. The master password is created when the application is used for the first time. Do not use a password that can be easily guessed (such as last names, first names, or dates of birth). To create a strong password, use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

The master password provides access to all your personal data. Remember that if the master password is lost, you will lose access to all passwords stored in the vault.

When the application starts, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to:

• Create a master password for the vault, if it is the first time that you have used Kaspersky Password Manager.
• Enter the existing master password, if you have previously created a master password and used Kaspersky Password Manager.
• Import your existing vault, if you saved it in a previous version of the application.

To create a master password:

1. In the Set master password window, enter the new master password in the Create master password field.

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

2. In the Confirm master password field, enter the new master password again.
3. Click the Done button.

The master password is created.

You can change the master password later.

Repairing the application

How Kaspersky Password Manager protects your data

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.

Kaspersky Password Manager encrypts data using symmetrical encryption based on the AES algorithm (block size = 128, key size = 256, padding = PKCS7, mode = CBC).

You can choose which data to use to fill in registration forms and quickly enter your personal data or business contact details.

You can store data of various types in Kaspersky Password Manager:

• Accounts – logins and passwords for signing in to websites or applications
• Identities – a special set of entries (such as first name and last name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and bank card and bank account details) for quickly filling out website or application registration forms
• Notes – any personal data in the form of text that you want to protect against unauthorized access.

Kaspersky Password Manager fills the login and password fields and performs automatic login on websites using your account credentials.

You can view data stored in the vault from any device on which Kaspersky Password Manager is installed.

All of this is possible thanks to your account on the My Kaspersky portal.

A My Kaspersky portal account is a single account required to sign in to My Kaspersky portal as well as to use the portal and certain Kaspersky Lab applications.

My Kaspersky portal is a one-stop online resource for remote management and licensing of Kaspersky Lab applications, downloading application installation package to devices, and getting technical support. An account is required to sign in to My Kaspersky portal.

• Account type. An account can be linked with a website (web account) or application (application account).
• Login and password for signing in to the specified website or application (you can specify several sets of credentials).

Identities

In addition to user name and password, website registration forms often require other details, such as first and last name, date of birth, email address, phone number, and so forth. To store such data, Kaspersky Password Manager uses special sets of records known as identities.

Kaspersky Password Manager has standard entry fields for specifying identities.

If you need to store other data that does not fit the available entry fields for identity data, you can use a different data type, known as notes.

You can create multiple identities. For example, you may want to keep information for online store registration forms separate from information for social networks.

When registering on a website or in an application, you can select the relevant identity in Kaspersky Password Manager and use it to fill in the registration fields.

Notes

Notes are intended for storing personal data (such as passport and driver's license details) as free-form text, in contrast to the Identities section.

Kaspersky Password Manager can store the following note data:

• Note name. The note name is used for locating a specific note in the vault.
• Text of the note. The note text can contain any of your data, in free-text form. The maximum length of note text is 4096 characters.

About the master password

The master password is the primary tool for protecting your data. You can create a master password after you register on the My Kaspersky portal. The master password is linked to a My Kaspersky portal account and provides access to the data vault from any device. 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.

The master password can contain numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters in any of the supported alphabets, and special characters.

Kaspersky Lab recommends using a master password that is at least eight characters long and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.

To keep your data safe, Kaspersky Password Manager does not store the master password on your devices and does not transmit it to the online vault. Memorize or write down your master password, because it is impossible to recover a forgotten master password.

Any data stored in a vault that is protected with a forgotten master password cannot be recovered. You can create a new data vault and protect it with a new master password. When a new data vault is created, all data from the existing data vault will be permanently deleted. You will need to re-add data to the new data vault. You can save a copy of the data vault before its deletion and restore data from it if you remember the master password.

About the vault and online vault

A Kaspersky Password Manager 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 open the %LocalAppData% folder,

enter these values in the search field in the Start menu.

Kaspersky Password Manager synchronizes data between the vault and the online vault:

The online vault consists of Kaspersky Lab servers used for synchronizing data across devices with Kaspersky Password Manager installed.

Thanks to the online vault, you can access Kaspersky Password Manager data from any device as well as restore data if a device is replaced or lost.

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

   

   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.

   check box.

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.

Changing the master password and managing the vault

This section describes how to change the master password, what to do if you forget the master password, and how to unlock the data vault.

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.

What to do if you have forgotten the master password

If forgotten, the master password is impossible to recover. Any data stored in a vault that is protected with a forgotten master password cannot be recovered. You can create a new data vault and protect it with a new master password.

When a new data vault is created, all data from the existing data vault will be permanently deleted. You will need to re-add data to the new data vault.

You can save a copy of the data vault before its deletion and restore data from it if you remember the master password. By default, the application creates a subfolder named kpm_<copy creation date> on your device in the folder named %LOCALAPPDATA%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Password Manager\Backup. In this subfolder, the application creates two files in which it saves a copy of the current data vault. These files are stored in encrypted form in the PDB and PDB-CRYPTO formats.

To create a vault and protect it with a new master password:

1. In the master password entry window of Kaspersky Password Manager, click the Forgot your master password? link.

   A window opens, notifying that you need to create a new vault.

2. Make sure that the Save a copy of the current data vault check box is selected so that you will have the capability to restore data if you remember the master password.
3. If you agree to create the new vault, click Continue.
4. In the window that opens, enter the password to your My Kaspersky portal account to create a new data vault and use it on all devices connected to your portal account.
5. Click the
   Create new password vault

   

   Clicking the Create new password vault button opens a window where you can create the master password for the new vault.

   When you create a new vault, all your data in the old vault is deleted.

   button.
6. In the window that appears, in the Master password field, enter the new master password.
7. In the Confirm master password field, enter the new master password again.
8. Click the Done button.

The new vault is now created. The vault with the forgotten master password is deleted automatically. A copy of the data vault will be created in the default folder.

Managing accounts

Accounts are used in Kaspersky Password Manager to store logins and passwords and to automatically fill in the login and password entry fields.

You can add the following types of accounts into Kaspersky Password Manager:

• Web accounts that are used to log in to websites.
• Application accounts for signing in to applications, such as email clients.

Each account contains a login and password, as well as information about where these account credentials are used. If you use the same account credentials to log in to a website and an application, you can link these accounts. This lets you centrally modify an account.

Web accounts added to Kaspersky Password Manager can be used to insert data into the login and password fields on a website or to automatically log in to a website.

If you log in to a website using account credentials that have not been added to Kaspersky Password Manager, the application will automatically prompt you to add the account to the data vault.

Adding a new account

Several different accounts (login / password combinations) are often required for logging into same website or the same application. For example, you may use several mail accounts on a single mail server or multiple users of the same computer may require access to their personal pages on a social network. You can add multiple accounts (login / password combinations) for a website or application.

When loading the website, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to select the required account to fill in the login and password fields.

Kaspersky Password Manager automatically detects a new login when it is first used and prompts the user to add it to the website account or add the website to the list of ignored websites.

You can also add a website to the list of ignored websites in the Ignored websites section.

You can manually add a new account and edit it.

About importing data into Kaspersky Password Manager

Kaspersky Password Manager lets you transfer data into the application so that it can all be saved in one location. Importing data helps you save time filling the data vault without having to manually add the account credentials into the application.

You can import data from the following sources into Kaspersky Password Manager:

• From data files that were created in previous versions of Kaspersky Password Manager;
• From password managers embedded into browsers.
• From other password management applications.

After importing, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically synchronizes the imported data with the online vault.

The free version of the application limits the number of active accounts (no more than 15). Although you can import any number of accounts into the application, only 15 of them can be active. This limitation is absent from the Premium version. All accounts are active after they are imported.

Importing data from previous versions of Kaspersky Password Manager

Kaspersky Password Manager lets you import data files created in previous versions of Kaspersky Password Manager into the application.

If you used versions of Kaspersky Password Manager that do not support updates, you can migrate your data into a new version of the application with the help of the import function. You must export the data vault to a file, then import it into the new version of Kaspersky Password Manager. You can import data files in the PWS, SPDB and PDB formats into Kaspersky Password Manager. Access to the contents of a data file is protected from unauthorized access by a master password. Only Kaspersky Password Manager can be used to access the contents of a data file.

If the application fails to import data as web accounts or application accounts (for example, due to a mismatch between the data format and the currently adopted user account format), Kaspersky Password Manager imports these accounts as notes. In this case, the account login is used as the note name and the account password is transformed into the note text.

When starting Kaspersky Password Manager for the first time, you can import a vault that has been saved when using an earlier version of the application, or you can create a new one.

To import a previously saved data vault from a file:

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 Import/export data section.
5. In the Importing data vault section, click the Import button.
6. In the window that opens, specify the file from which you want to import the data vault.
7. Click the Open button.
8. In the window that opens, enter the master password to access the contents of the imported file.
9. Click OK.

   Data from the selected file will be copied into Kaspersky Password Manager. Once the import is complete, the application will display a window containing a report on the number of imported account credentials.

10. Click the Continue button to exit the report window.

Importing data from browsers

Kaspersky Password Manager lets you import account credentials from browsers. If you have saved website logins and passwords in password managers embedded into browsers, you can easily transfer this data to Kaspersky Password Manager and store it under the protection of a master password.

During the import, the application copies the logins and passwords from the selected browser and adds the accounts in the Websites section. When importing, the application automatically assigns names to websites based on the addresses of those websites.

To import data from a password manager embedded into a browser:

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 Import/export data section.
5. In the drop-down list of the Import data from browsers section, select the browser in which the account credentials are saved.
6. Click the Import button.

   Account credentials will be copied from the password manager into Kaspersky Password Manager. Once the import is complete, the application will display a window containing a report on the number of imported accounts.

7. Click the Continue button to exit the report window.

Importing data from password management applications

Kaspersky Password Manager lets you import account credentials from other password management applications.

If you have used other applications to store account credentials and manage passwords, you can easily transfer this data into Kaspersky Password Manager. Kaspersky Password Manager can import files that were exported from the following applications: KeePass, LastPass, 1Password, Norton, and Dashlane.

In order to import data into Kaspersky Password Manager, the data must be exported to a CSV file from the other application.

Kaspersky Password Manager cannot ensure the integrity and completeness of data imported from other password management applications.

To import data from a password management application:

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 Import/export data section.
5. In the drop-down list of the Import data from password management applications section, select the application from which you want to import account credentials.
6. Click the Import button.
7. In the window that opens, specify the file from which you want to import account credentials into the application.
8. Click the Open button.

   The account credentials will be copied from the selected file into Kaspersky Password Manager. Once the import is complete, the application will display a window containing a report on the number of imported account credentials.

9. Click the Continue button to exit the report window.

Creating a backup copy of the data vault

When using Kaspersky Password Manager, you can create a backup copy of the current data vault at any time.

When creating a backup copy of the data vault, Kaspersky Password Manager exports your data to two files that are stored on your device in the folder you specify. Access to the backup copy is protected by the master password that was used when the backup copy was created. Backup copy files are stored in encrypted form in the PDB and PDB-CRYPTO formats.

You can transfer a backup copy of the data vault to your other devices or removable drives. If you created a new data vault, you can transfer data from the backup copy into the new data vault.

To create a backup copy of the current data vault:

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.
4. The application settings window opens.

6. In the Backup copy section, click the Create a copy button.
7. In the window that opens, specify the folder in which the application will save the backup copy of the data vault.
8. Click OK.

   In the folder you specify, the application will create a subfolder named kpm_<copy creation date>, in which it will place the files of the backup copy of the data vault. The application will notify you about the results of backup copy creation in the window that opens.

9. Click the Close button to close the window.

AO Kaspersky Lab

Kaspersky Lab is a world-renowned vendor of systems protecting computers against various threats, including viruses and other malware, unsolicited email (spam), network and hacking attacks.

In 2008, Kaspersky Lab was rated among the world’s top four leading vendors of information security software solutions for end users (IDC Worldwide Endpoint Security Revenue by Vendor). Kaspersky Lab is the preferred vendor of computer protection systems for home users in Russia (“IDC Endpoint Tracker 2014”).

Kaspersky Lab was founded in Russia in 1997. It has since grown into an international group of companies with 34 offices in 31 countries. The company employs more than 3000 qualified specialists.

Products. Kaspersky Lab’s products provide protection for all systems—from home computers to large corporate networks.

The personal product range includes security applications for desktop, laptop, and tablet computers, smartphones and other mobile devices.

The company offers protection and control solutions and technologies for workstations and mobile devices, virtual machines, file and web servers, mail gateways, and firewalls. The company's portfolio also features specialized products providing protection against DDoS attacks, protection for industrial control systems, and prevention of financial fraud. Used in conjunction with Kaspersky Lab’s centralized management system, these solutions ensure effective automated protection for companies and organizations of any size against computer threats. Kaspersky Lab's products are certified by the major test laboratories, are compatible with the software of many suppliers of computer applications, and are optimized to run on many hardware platforms.

Kaspersky Lab’s virus analysts work around the clock. Every day they uncover hundreds of thousands of new computer threats, create tools to detect and disinfect them, and include signatures of those threats in the databases used by Kaspersky Lab applications.

Technologies. Many technologies that are now part and parcel of modern anti-virus tools were originally developed by Kaspersky Lab. It is no coincidence that many other developers use the Kaspersky Anti-Virus kernel in their products, including: Alcatel-Lucent, Alt-N, Asus, BAE Systems, Blue Coat, Check Point, Cisco Meraki, Clearswift, D-Link, Facebook, General Dynamics, H3C, Juniper Networks, Lenovo, Microsoft, NETGEAR, Openwave Messaging, Parallels, Qualcomm, Samsung, Stormshield, Toshiba, Trustwave, Vertu, ZyXEL. Many of the company’s innovative technologies are patented.

Achievements. Over the years, Kaspersky Lab has won hundreds of awards for its services in combating computer threats. Following tests and research conducted by the reputed Austrian test laboratory AV-Comparatives in 2014, Kaspersky Lab ranked among the top two vendors by the number of Advanced+ certificates earned and was eventually awarded the Top Rated certificate. But Kaspersky Lab's main achievement is the loyalty of its users worldwide. The company’s products and technologies protect more than 400 million users, and its corporate clients number more than 270,000.
