Scan your computer for important documents

Kaspersky Password Manager helps save time and scans your device for files that may contain sensitive information. The application searches for JPEG, PNG, BMP, and PDF files containing text. The files found during the search are analyzed and assigned to categories. You can view the search results, choose which documents to add to your vault, and change document categories.

Kaspersky Password Manager supports the following document categories:

  • Passports/IDs
  • Driver Licenses
  • Bank Cards
  • Insurances
  • Contracts
  • Other

Note: During the search, Kaspersky Password Manager skips password-protected PDF files, PDF-files larger than 20 MB, and images larger than 100 MB, with resolution less than 256x256 px or higher than 40 MP.

If an image is too big, Kaspersky Password Manager compresses the original image before adding it to your vault. If the original size of an image is larger than 100 MB, Kaspersky Password Manager can't compress it. The final size of an image in the vault is no more than 6 MB. PNG and BMP images are converted to JPEG format.

Before adding documents found during the search to your vault, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to delete the original files from your device for security reasons. If you need documents from your vault, you can export them to your device at any time.
