Data conversion when updating the application to version 9.0 or later from previous versions
If you update to Kaspersky Password Manager 9.0 or later from earlier versions, your web accounts, application accounts, and notes will remain unchanged. However, your identities will be converted to bank card, address, and note entries. If an identity contains a bank card without a number, Kaspersky Password Manager will fill it out with zeros. Kaspersky Password Manager will save identity fields containing information other than bank card or address data (for example, personal information, financial or business information) to new notes.
Note: Beginning with Kaspersky Password Manager 9.0, the application is not compatible with previous versions of the application.
In Kaspersky Password Manager 9.0 or later, your data will be permanently converted to the new format. If you have a previous version of Kaspersky Password Manager on other devices connected to the same My Kaspersky account, you must update the application to version 9.0 or later to sync data across your devices and cloud storage. Alternatively, you can create a new My Kaspersky account to use with previous versions of the application.
Update the application to version 9.2 or later
Important: You must update the application to version 9.2 or later on all your devices connected to the same My Kaspersky account to correctly sync your data across devices and cloud storage.
The entry types and entry fields you can use may vary in different versions of Kaspersky Password Manager. For example, document categorization is available on desktop computers running macOS and Windows, but unavailable on mobile devices. When you update to Kaspersky Password Manager 9.2 or later, your vault database becomes more flexible. This improvement lets you connect different versions of the application to one My Kaspersky account, so you can use the same database with different versions of the application on your devices.
If your devices with different versions of Kaspersky Password Manager 9.2 or later are connected to the same My Kaspersky account, some entries or entry fields in your vault may be unavailable in the following cases:
- You have added an entry of a new type, which is not supported in a previous version of the application.
New-type entries are available only on devices with the recent versions of the application. On devices with previous versions, the application shows the number of new-type entries, which can't be displayed. When you use a previous version of the application and you switch from the premium version to the free version, you can choose to use all or none of these entries in the free version.
- You have filled out a new field that is not supported in a previous version of the application.
New field types are available only on devices with the latest version of the application. If you have entries with new field types, the previous version of the application warns you that some data in these entries cannot be displayed properly.
- Some entry types are no longer supported in the latest version of the application.
Kaspersky Password Manager describes these entries as old-type. You can only sync old-type entries between devices with previous versions of the application. When you update the application, Kaspersky Password Manager will save all your data from these entries. When you switch to the free version of the application, the old-type entries are displayed as active and automatically selected for use in the free version. Old-type entries are not counted against the limitations of the free version.
- Some fields are no longer supported in the latest version of the application.
Kaspersky Password Manager describes such fields as retired. Retired fields are synced between devices with the latest version as well as with previous versions of the application. You can edit retired fields only in previous versions of the application.
What to do if you lose data after updating to version 9.2 or later
When you first start Kaspersky Password Manager after updating from version 9.1 to version 9.2 or later, the application creates a backup copy of your vault database and then converts it to the new format. If the vault database conversion results in the loss of some or all of your data, you can try to restore your entries from the backup copy of your vault database.
Important: Any changes to the old entries that you make after the backup copy is created will be lost following the restoration process. However, all newly added entries will remain unchanged.
