For meeting the growing needs for protecting data and thwarting unauthorized access to data, Kaspersky has augmented many features in its Password Manager product. So, be it Windows, iOS or Android platform, Kaspersky Password Manager can bring in better authentication mechanism.
So, the version on Windows has become more convenient and transparent – the new features would allow customers to monitor the status and security of all passwords.

Passwords are the keys to protecting personal data, and virtually all the activities in the digital space. An effective way to protect personal information is to create strong and unique passwords for each account. However, it is extremely difficult to remember this amount of data, and it is unsafe to write down all the credentials on paper or in notes on smartphones. It is these expediencies, which have been driving the growth of password managers across the globe.
“User account information is one of the most sought-after things by cybercriminals, because it allows access to personal data. At the same time, the growing list of online services requiring authorization increases the risks for consumers: banks, shops, accounts in online games, training courses, social networks, etc. To help consumers manage this smoothly and securely, there are tools like our Password Manager. This provides encrypted storage of not only passwords but also valuable personal data, with automatic access from any device”, says Marina Titova, Head of Consumer Product Marketing at Kaspersky.
