Update Kaspersky Password Manager

A Kaspersky Password Manager update fixes bugs, adds new features, and improves the performance of existing features.

Update since 9.2 version

Automatic updates are available from version 9.2 Patch V. For earlier versions, you need to remove the application manually and install the latest version from the Kaspersky website. Otherwise, you will get an error.

Kaspersky Password Manager checks the update server every 3 hours for a new version of the application. If a new version is available, Kaspersky Password Manager downloads it to your computer in silent mode.

After downloading the new version, the application compares all agreements from the previous version with the agreements in the update. If nothing requires user actions, Kaspersky Password Manager starts the update automatically.

If terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement or Privacy Policy has changed, the application prompts you to review and accept new agreements.

If you don't agree with new terms and conditions of the application usage, you continue using the previous version of Kaspersky Password Manager, which agreements you have accepted.

After the update is installed, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to restart the application to apply changes.

How Kaspersky Password Manager protects your data

About your vault

A vault is an encrypted file that contains all of your accounts, notes, and other data. By default, your vault is located at: %LocalAppData%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky Password Manager

For security reasons Kaspersky Password Manager automatically blocks access to the vault after a specified period of inactivity or when the screen saver turns on. You must enter the main password to access your vault. This method of data storage keeps your valuable information safe even if your device with Kaspersky Password Manager gets lost or stolen.

About the encryption

Kaspersky Password Manager encrypts data using a symmetric key algorithm based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). A key is derived from your main password using Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2).

The AES algorithm is used worldwide to protect top-secret data. This algorithm has low RAM requirements, which means your data is encrypted and decrypted within seconds.

About the main password

The main password is a single password that Kaspersky Password Manager uses to protect all your data, including other passwords. You create the main password during the initial setup of Kaspersky Password Manager. Every time you try to access the data vault, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you for the main password. The application uses the main password to encrypt your data in the vault.

It is recommended that you set a main password that is at least eight characters long and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.

For security reasons, Kaspersky Password Manager doesn't store the main password on any of your devices or in cloud storage. We recommend that you memorize your main password, or write it down and keep it in a secure place, because it can't be restored or recovered if forgotten.

If you forget your main password, you will no longer be able to access your data. In this case, you will have to create a new vault and protect it with a new main password. Then you will be able to add new data to the vault.

Data types protected by Kaspersky Password Manager

You can add several types of entries to Kaspersky Password Manager and organize your entries by moving them into folders.

Accounts

Websites and Apps

A website or app account is a combination of a login and password required to authenticate a user on a website or in an application.

For websites, Kaspersky Password Manager saves the following information to the entry:

  • Website name. Use a meaningful website name to quickly find the website that you want to edit or log in to.
  • Website address. Kaspersky Password Manager uses this field to recognize a website's sign-in page and offer accounts you can use to sign in.
  • Accounts. You can save multiple accounts for a website. For example, you might have personal and business email addresses from the same email provider.

For applications, Kaspersky Password Manager saves the following information to the entry:

  • Application name. Use a meaningful name so you can quickly find the entry you need.
  • Accounts. You can save multiple accounts for an application.

For quicker access, accounts for websites and accounts for applications are stored separately.

Other

Other is an all-purpose account type. Unlike Website and App accounts, this account type has only Login and Password fields, and filling in the Login field is optional. Here you can save any important code or password, for example Wi-Fi password or door code.

Bank cards

You can add bank card numbers, other details, PINs, and the card issuer's customer support contact information to Kaspersky Password Manager.

Addresses

You can save addresses, names, email addresses, and phone numbers in address entries.

Documents

You can store important documents (for example, scanned Passports/IDs and PDF files) in Kaspersky Password Manager to keep them safe and always close at hand.

Notes

You can use notes to store any kind of text information.

Notes are encrypted and stored the same way as other data types.

You can use the clipboard to copy and paste note text to a web page or application.

Entry types and properties can change from version to version. For example, documents can be categorized on desktop computers running macOS and Windows but not on mobile devices.

Your data may not be fully available in the following cases:

  • You add an entry of a new type or fill out new field not supported in the previous version.

    These entries are available only on devices with the latest version of the application. On devices running the previous version, the application displays the number of entries that cannot be synced or warns that some data in an entry cannot be displayed properly.

  • Some entry types are no longer supported in the latest version.

    These entries are archived and synced only between devices running the previous version. When you update the application, these entries may be converted or deleted. You will have a chance to save any entries before they are deleted. Archived entries are not counted against the limitations of the free version.

  • Some fields are no longer supported in the latest version.

    This data is synced between devices running either the latest or previous versions. You can edit these fields only in the previous version.

Check passwords security

Expand all | Collapse all

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 for multiple accounts.

When you type a password in an online form for creating or changing a password, the Kaspersky Password Manager extension displays recommendations on how to create a strong password, including information about the strength of the password you are typing in.

Check for compromised passwords

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

The application uses Secure Hash Algorithm 256 (SHA-256) to check for compromised passwords. The application 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 application warns you that your password is compromised and you better change it.

By default, the check for compromised passwords is enabled.

What to do if you have forgotten the main password

For security reasons, Kaspersky Password Manager doesn't store the main password on any of your devices or in cloud storage. We recommend that you memorize your main password, or write it down and keep it in a secure place, because it can't be restored or recovered if forgotten.

If you forget your main password, you will no longer be able to access your data. In this case, you will have to create a new vault and protect it with a new main password. Then you will be able to add new data to the vault.

You can save a backup copy of your vault before deleting it. You can use it to restore your data if you remember your main password. When creating a backup copy of the vault, Kaspersky Password Manager exports entries to a file stored on your device. The backup copy is protected by the main password used when the backup copy was created. The backup copy is stored in encrypted form in EDB format. By default, Kaspersky Password Manager creates backup copies in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Kaspersky Password Manager\Backup.

Create a new vault protected with a new main password

  1. In the The vault is locked. Enter your main password window, click Forgot your main password?

    The Forgot your main password? window opens.

Confirm dangerous actions

Kaspersky Password Manager provides additional protection by emailing a verification code to confirm potentially dangerous actions.

Actions that require additional confirmation:

  • Resetting the main password
  • Replacing a cloud database by a local one

If Kaspersky Password Manager is associated with a My Kaspersky account

In this scenario, you can confirm database cleanup by entering a verification code that will be emailed to you.

If data sync is turned off, you can only clean up the local database by entering your My Kaspersky account password on the Enter the password for your My Kaspersky account step. You also need to enter the security code from a text message if two-factor authentication is enabled.

You may get the "Password is incorrect" error if you use an account from a third-party provider that is not linked to a My Kaspersky account. Accounts from third-party providers are not allowed to perform dangerous actions like database cleanups.

To link an account from third-party provider to a My Kaspersky account, perform the following steps:

  1. Go to My Kaspersky:
    • By clicking the Forgot your password? link on the Enter the password for your My Kaspersky account step.
    • Or by using a direct link to My Kaspersky.
  2. Log in to My Kaspersky using the same third-party-provided account as in Kaspersky Password Manager.
  3. If you use an account from a third-party provider to sign in to My Kaspersky for the first time, you need to specify a region and accept the Terms of Use of the Web-Portal.
  4. Click the Set password button.
  5. Specify the My Kaspersky account credentials and click Save changes.

Now you can enter the new password for the My Kaspersky account on the Enter the password for your My Kaspersky account step to complete the local database cleanup operation.

If Kaspersky Password Manager is not associated with a My Kaspersky account

In this scenario, your local database is not protected by My Kaspersky and the option to require a verification code to confirm local database cleanups is not available.

After installing the browser extension, you can get web page markup using the following script:

(function(){var e=document.createEvent("Event");e.initEvent("kpm_getSiteMarkup",!0,!0);document.dispatchEvent(e)})();

The script can be run in the console of any supported browser.
