Prepare Google Chrome and chromium-based browsers for Kaspersky Password Manager

Kaspersky Password Manager cannot automatically turn off the build-in password manager in Chrome and chromium-based browsers. Please manually turn off the autosave and autofill settings in your browser to avoid performance issues in the Kaspersky Password Manager extension.

Caution The following actions must be performed in the browser settings to ensure that the extension functions correctly.

Step 1. Pin the extension icon

The extension icon is pinned by default only in the Vivaldi browser.

If you use another chromium-based browser, manually pin it for quick access.

To do this, open the browser and click the Extensions button on the toolbar A puzzle piece-shaped icon.

A pop-up window appears. Pin the extension by clicking the pin icon .
