- Documents
- Addresses
- Text notes
For more information, see Data types protected by Kaspersky Password Manager.
Automatically fill out forms and sign in to websites
When you open a website that requires a login and password, Kaspersky Password Manager uses the stored website accounts to fill out forms or sign you in automatically. Learn more.
Protect your sensitive information
Kaspersky Password Manager stores all data in an encrypted format and only decrypts it when you enter your main password. Kaspersky Password Manager doesn't store your main password anywhere, and no one knows it except for you. There is no way to access your data without the main password—if you lose it, you will also lose access to your data. Learn more.
If your device is running Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication, and has fingerprint authentication enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the main password. Find more information about configuring and using fingerprint authentication in the Android Help.

Page topHow Kaspersky Password Manager protects your data
Kaspersky Password Manager encrypts data using a symmetric key algorithm based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). A key is derived from your main password using Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2).
The AES algorithm is used worldwide to protect top-secret data. This algorithm has low RAM requirements, which means your data is encrypted and decrypted within seconds.
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. If your device is running Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication, and has fingerprint authentication enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the main password.
It is recommended that you set a main password that is at least eight characters long and contains 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.
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.
Data types protected by Kaspersky Password Manager
You can add several types of entries to Kaspersky Password Manager and organize your entries by moving them into folders.
