Kaspersky Password Manager Help

Create a 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.

Don't use a password that can be easily guessed (for example, based on last names, first names, or dates of birth). To create a strong password, use 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.

Important: 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.

When Kaspersky Password Manager starts, it prompts you to:

• Create a main password for the vault, if it is the first time you have used Kaspersky Password Manager.
• Enter the existing main password, if you have previously created a main password and used Kaspersky Password Manager.

You can change the main password at any time.

Create a new main password

If your device supports Touch ID, you can enable it when creating a main password and then use it to unlock the vault. You can also enable or disable Touch ID, in the application settings, at any time.
