Enable checking of your accounts for possible data leaks on websites

Sometimes even a unique and strong password and virtual keyboard are not enough to protect your website accounts and sensitive information. Hackers constantly search for vulnerabilities on popular websites in order to steal user data. If a website where you have an account has been hacked, your account becomes compromised and your data is at risk of being publicly accessible.

The Kaspersky application can check your email address against a database of leaks known to Kaspersky each time you sign in to your account on websites. If your account has been compromised, the application will inform you.

Note: The Kaspersky application can only check accounts that use an email address as the user name. Data Leak Checker on websites is available only in Kaspersky Plus and Premium only.

Enable/disable checking of your accounts for possible data leaks

  1. In the menu bar, click the application icon and choose Settings.

    The application settings window opens.

  2. On the Privacy tab, in the Data Leak Checker section, select/deselect the Check accounts for possible data leaks when signing in to websites checkbox.

    Note: The Kaspersky application checks accounts only in browsers with Kaspersky Protection extension installed.
