Protect your passwords and sensitive information

The Kaspersky Protection browser extension helps you strengthen your passwords and protect your sensitive information. By default, the extension detects duplicate passwords, checks the strength of your passwords and the security of your website accounts, and provides an onscreen keyboard to protect the passwords you enter in sign-in forms.

Note: The Kaspersky application doesn't monitor passwords or display password settings if you have any password manager installed.

Turn off/on duplicate passwords detection

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

    The application settings window opens.

  2. On the Privacy tab, in the Passwords section, deselect/select the Detect duplicate passwords checkbox.

Turn off/on checking of password strength

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

    The application settings window opens.

  2. On the Privacy tab, in the Passwords section, deselect/select the Check password strength checkbox.

By default, an onscreen keyboard appears on the screen automatically when you select a password field in the browser window.

Turn off/on automatic display of the onscreen keyboard

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

    The application settings window opens.

  2. On the Browsers tab, in the Onscreen Keyboard section, deselect/select the Show onscreen keyboard when entering website passwords checkbox.

You can manually open the onscreen keyboard in your browser.

Open the onscreen keyboard manually

  1. Click in the browser toolbar.
  2. In the dialog that opens, click Show under the Onscreen Keyboard switch.

You can use the onscreen keyboard as follows:

  • Click the keys of the onscreen keyboard with the mouse pointer.
  • Unlike with a physical keyboard, you can't click multiple keys on the onscreen keyboard simultaneously. To enter a combination of keys (for example, the Option key and SHIFT key), click the first key (for example, Option) and then click the second key.
  • To switch languages, click the key in the lower-left corner.

Important: The onscreen keyboard can't protect your personal data if the website you are sending data to has been hacked.
