Kaspersky Password Manager is only offered on Kaspersky Plus and Kaspersky Premium plans.
If you are an active Internet user, you normally have to use many different passwords, such as when you visit websites of banks, social networks, and mail services. It is not convenient to use a large number of passwords because you have to remember which password you use on a particular website. This frequently causes users to resort to the easy solution of using one simple password on different websites. However, this is not a secure solution. A simple password that is used on several websites can be easily cracked or intercepted by hackers. If this happens with a password from a banking website, you risk losing your money.
Check password strength
Whenever you create a password on a website, the Kaspersky application checks the strength of your password and notifies you about it. From the notification window, you can proceed to the window used for downloading Kaspersky Password Manager. You can use Kaspersky Password Manager to create a strong password and store your passwords.
Protect against using the same passwords
When you enter a password on a website where password security is especially important (such as on a social network), the Kaspersky application prompts you to enable protection against the use of the same passwords.
If protection against the use of the same passwords is enabled, the Kaspersky application checks whether or not you have previously used the password that you are entering on websites of the following categories:
If the password that you are entering has already been used on the websites of these categories, the Kaspersky application notifies you about it and offers you to create a new password. You can select website categories, for which the use of the same passwords should be monitored.
If you use Kaspersky Password Manager
If you have downloaded and installed Kaspersky Password Manager, password protection is disabled in the Kaspersky application. Password protection will be provided by Kaspersky Password Manager. Kaspersky Password Manager is designed to safely store your personal information: passwords, passport details, financial and medical data. For more details about how to protect your passwords, please refer to the Help text for Kaspersky Password Manager. The Kaspersky application does not monitor creation of passwords, does not check if you use a password used on the websites of banks, social networks and mail services on other websites, and does not show notifications about the strength of a password or its use on other websites.
The Kaspersky application does not notify you when a password that is being used on the websites of banks, social networks or mail services is also used on other websites if you have downloaded and installed Kaspersky Fraud Prevention for Endpoints 3.5 or later.
