Kaspersky Password Manager stores and protects all your personal data (e.g. passwords, user names, Internet pager
accounts, contacts, phone numbers, etc.). Kaspersky Password Manager sticks passwords and accounts to Microsoft
Windows applications and web pages for which they are used. All information is stored in encrypted form in the Password
Database, access to which is protected by a Master Password. Personal data is easily accessible if the Password
Database is unlocked. After launching a web page or application, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically enters the
password, user name and other personal data. Thus, you need not remember all the passwords, you only need to
remember one password.
By default, Kaspersky Password Manager loads automatically when the operating system starts up. This component is
built in into the application which allows personal data to be managed directly from the application window.
Kaspersky Password Manager monitors the actions of applications with passwords and prevents the interception and
theft of personal data. This component checks applications that use passwords or request them from other applications,
before asking you to allow or forbid a suspicious action.
Additionally, Kaspersky Password Manager can:
save and use your passwords (see page 13);
find accounts, passwords, user names and other personal information in the Password Database (see page 14);
generate secure passwords (see page 37) when registering new accounts;
save all passwords on removable device (see page 38);
restore Password Database from backup copy (see page 23);
protect passwords from unauthorized access (see page 12).
To start Kaspersky Password Manager, please do the following:
1. Left-click the Kaspersky Password Manager icon in the taskbar notification area.
2. In the context menu that will open, select the Password Manager item.

information, start password search (see page 14).
CONFIGURATION WIZARD
The configuration wizard for the application is launched when Kaspersky Password Manager is started for the first time.
Its purpose is to help you perform the initial configuration of Kaspersky Password Manager in accordance with your
personal preferences and tasks.
The wizard is presented as a sequence of windows (steps). You can move through the steps by clicking Next and Back
as required. To exit the wizard at any stage, click Exit. To complete the wizard, click Close. Now we shall discuss each
of the wizard's steps in more detail.
ACCESSING PASSWORD DATABASE
All your personal data is stored in encrypted form in the Password Database. Password Database must be unlocked to
use this data. To access the Password Database, select one of the following authorization methods:
Master Password protection. Master Password is used to access the Password Database.
USB device. To access the Password Database, connect any USB device to your computer. When the USB
device is disabled, the Password Database is automatically locked.
Bluetooth device. To access the Password Database, connect a Bluetooth device to your computer. When the
Bluetooth device is disabled, the Password Database is automatically locked.
No authorization. Access to the Password Database is unprotected.
By default, protection is set by the Master Password, which means that you only need to remember one password.
Page 13
G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
13
Master Password is the basic tool that protects your personal data. If you have selected the method of authorization with
a device, and the latter has turned out to be unavailable (or lost), you can use the Master Password for accessing your
personal data.
By default, Kaspersky Password Manager locks the Password Database when the application is launched and after a
specified time (see page 32) during which the computer is not used. The application can only be used if the Password
Database is unlocked.
You can also unlock / lock the Password Database in one of the following ways:
using a USB or Bluetooth device – only for authorization with a USB or Bluetooth device;
by double-clicking the application icon (see page 35) – the double-click action in this case should be set up
additionally;
from the context menu of Kaspersky Password Manager;
using the key combination CRTL+ALT+L (see page 28).
To enter the Master Password, use a virtual keyboard that allows passwords to be entered without pressing keys on the
keyboard.

2. In the displayed menu, select Unlock.
3. Enter the Master Password in the displayed window.
USING PERSONAL DATA
Kaspersky Password Manager sticks accounts to applications / web pages for which they are used. Password Database
automatically searches for sticky accounts when applications / web pages are launched. If an account is found, personal
data is entered automatically. If there is no sticky account in the Password Database, Kaspersky Password Manager
automatically offers you to add one to the Password Database (see page 15).
Some applications / websites can use multiple user names. Kaspersky Password Manager allows several user names to
be saved for one account. If a new user name was used during authorization, Kaspersky Password Manager offers you
to add it to the account (see page 20) for the application / web page you have opened. When the application / web page
is next launched, a window with a list of user's names for this account will appear next to the personal data input fields.
In addition to the user name and password, other personal data is often used on the website for registration (e.g. full
name, sex, country, town/city, phone number, email address, etc.). Kaspersky Password Manager saves such data in an
encrypted Password Database in the form of Identities. To separate private and business information, you can create
several Identities (see page 20). Then, when you register in the program / on a website, Kaspersky Password Manager
will automatically use the chosen card to fill in the registration form. Using Identities saves time when filling in several
uniform registration forms.
During the authorization in the application / on the web page, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically enters
personal data unless the Password Database is unlocked.
Page 14

Use the Kaspersky Password Manager pointer. To do this, move the mouse cursor over the application icon in
the taskbar notification area, then activate the account by dragging the Kaspersky Password Manager pointer to
the required application / browser window.
Select an account from the list of frequently used accounts. To do so, open the Kaspersky Password Manager
context menu and select the required account in the block of frequently used accounts.
Use the Kaspersky Password Manager context menu. To do so, open the Kaspersky Password Manager
context menu and select the Accounts <Account name> item.
To use an Identity, please do the following:
1. In the application / browser window, click the Caption Button in the upper-right corner.
2. In the menu that will open, select the Identities <Identity name> item. Kaspersky Password Manager
automatically fills in the registration fields on the web page using data from the Identity.
FINDING PASSWORDS
A search for personal data could be hindered in the following cases:
Some passwords are not associated with applications / websites.
Password Database contains a large number of accounts.
Kaspersky Password Manager quickly finds passwords by the following parameters:
account name;
user name;
key words (see page 16) (key word search is set up additionally for each user name);
web address (for web addresses).
The search can be performed either by full name, or by initial letters and any characters that are contained in an account
name or a link.

moving the Kaspersky Password Manager pointer to the application / browser window.
SELECTING A METHOD TO STICK THE ACCOUNT
To specify which account data should be entered automatically at each startup of the application / web page, Kaspersky
Password Manager uses the path to the application / Internet address of web page.
Because Kaspersky Password Manager allows using several accounts for a single application / website, you should
specify a scope for each account.
Based on the path to the application / Internet address of web page, Kaspersky Password Manager allows creating a
scope for each account. The scope can be configured when creating an account (see page 15). You can alter the
settings in the future.
Depending on the object (application or website), the way accounts are used varies.
The following options are available for the application:
Use the account for the application. The account will be used for all application's dialogs which have fields for
entering personal data.
Recognize by window heading. The account will only be used for the given application window.
For example, one application can use multiple accounts. For different accounts, only the window headings will
differ within one application. Kaspersky Password Manager will automatically enter data for the account based
on the window heading in the application.
The following options for using an account are available for web pages:
Only for the given web page. Kaspersky Password Manager automatically adds the user name and password to
identification fields on the given web page only.
For example, if an account is related to the web page with the address http://www.web-site.com/login.html, it will
not be valid for other web pages of the same website, e.g. http://www.web-site.com/index.php.
For websites from a directory. Kaspersky Password Manager automatically adds the user name and password
to identification fields for all web pages in the most recent folder.
For example, if the website address http://www.web-site.com/cgi-bin/login.html has been entered, the account
will be used for all web pages in the cgi-bin folder.
For the website: <third-level domain name and lower>. This account is used for any web page in the domain
(third-level domain and lower).
For example, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically adds identity data for the following web pages:
http://www.domain1.domain2.web-site.com/login.html or http://www.domain1.domain2.web-site.com/index.php.
However, the account will not be used for web pages with addresses that have different fourth-level domains:
http://www.domain3.domain2.web-site.com/index.php or http://www.domain4.domain2.web-site.com/index.php.

Phishers often use redirecting to websites that give access to bank accounts (e.g. Internet banking sites, payment
systems, etc.). On the company's official authorization page, users are redirected to a counterfeit website visually similar
to the official page. All data entered on the counterfeit page falls into the hands of attackers.
Redirecting is often officially installed on websites. If you don't want Kaspersky Password Manager to consider
readdressing to be a phishing attack, you can create a list of trusted web addresses. The list of trusted web addresses
includes websites to which the entered personal data are transferred. During authorization, Kaspersky Password
Manager will not notify you that the personal data is being transferred to the trusted web site.
Kaspersky Password Manager allows transferring of personal data from other websites to the trusted website. Before
adding a website to the list of trusted web addresses, make sure it is completely reliable!
You can add a website to the list of trusted web addresses in the following ways:
directly during authorization on the website;
manually, from the Kaspersky Password Manager Settings window.
To add a website to the list of trusted web addresses during authorization on the website, wait to be redirected from one
website to the other, and then, in the Kaspersky Password Manager window, check the box Always trust <name of website> web site.
To create a list of trusted web addresses manually, please do the following:

SELECTING ENCRYPTION METHOD
The task of cryptography is to protect information from unauthorized access and distribution. The main purpose of the
cipher is to transfer encrypted messages via unprotected channels.
Keys are required for encryption and decryption. A key is a vital component of a cipher. If one and the same key is used
for encryption and decryption, it is called a symmetric key. If two keys are used, it is asymmetric. Symmetric ciphers can
be either block or stream. Any information (regardless of the format of the source data) is interpreted in binary code. A
block cipher assumes all data will be broken into blocks, each of which will then undergo an independent transformation.
In a stream cipher, the algorithm is applied to each bit of information.
Kaspersky Password Manager offers the following symmetric encryption algorithms:
DES. Block cipher with the standard-sized key of 56 bit. By today's standards, DES does not offer a high level of
protection. This algorithm is used when reliability is not the main requirement.
3DES. A block algorithm created based on DES. It solves the main weakness of its predecessor – the small key
size. 3DES keys are three times the size of those used by DES (56*3=168 bits). The speed of operation is three
times slower than for DES, but the level of security is much higher. 3DES is used more often, since DES is not
resilient enough against modern cracking techniques.
3DES TWO KEY. A block algorithm created based on DES. This is a 3DES algorithm which uses a key size of
112 bits (56*2).
RC2. A block-cipher algorithm with variable-length key quickly processes a large amount of information. It is a
faster algorithm than DES. In terms of security and resilience, it is comparable to 3DES.
RC4. A stream cipher with variable-length key. The key size can range from 40 to 256 bits. The advantages of
the algorithm are its high speed and variable key size. By default, Kaspersky Password Manager uses RC4 for
data encryption.
AES. A block-cipher symmetric algorithm with a key length of 128, 192, 256 bits. This algorithm guarantees a
high level of security and is one of the most commonly used.
Microsoft Windows uses an encryption provider to perform cryptographic operations. Each encryption provider supports
several encryption algorithms with a specified key length. Kaspersky Password Manager uses the following built-in
Microsoft Windows encryption providers:
Microsoft Base Cryptographic Provider;
Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider;
Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider (Prototype);
Microsoft RSA/Schannel Cryptographic Provider;
Microsoft Strong Cryptographic Provider.
To change the encryption algorithm, please do the following:
1. In the application context menu, select the item named Settings.
2. In the Settings window that will open, select the My passwords section.
3. In the right part of the window, under Encryption, click Change.
4. In the Encryption algorithm window, specify the parameters of the encryption algorithm.

extent on the reliability of Master Password. When creating a Master Password, Kaspersky Password Manager
automatically evaluates its strength and assigns it a particular status:
low strength;
normal;
high.
To create a secure password, use special symbols, numbers, upper- and lower-case letters. It is not recommended to
use information that can be easily guessed (e.g. family members' names or dates of birth) as a password.

Kaspersky Password Manager pointer allows quickly selecting an application / web page and automatically
defining the action for the object you have selected.
Portable Version Creation Wizard of Kaspersky Password Manager allows creating a portable version of the

PASSWORD GENERATOR
Data security depends directly on the strength of the passwords. Data could be at risk in the following cases:
one password is used for all accounts;
the password is simple;
the password uses information that is easy to guess (e.g. family members' names or dates of birth).
To ensure data security, Kaspersky Password Manager allows unique and reliable passwords to be created for accounts.
Kaspersky Password Manager saves all generated passwords, which means they do not need to be remembered.
A password is considered secure if it consists of more than four characters and contains special symbols, numbers, and
upper- and lower-case letters.
Password security is determined by the following parameters:
Length – the number of symbols in the password. This value can range from 4 to 99 symbols. The longer the
password, the more secure it is considered to be.
A-Z – uppercase letters.
a-z – lowercase letters.
0-9 – numbers.
Special symbols – special symbols.
Exclude similar symbols – the use of identical symbols in a password is not permitted.

Marks of the Rightholder and/or its partners ("Trademarks"). You may use the Trademarks only insofar as to

any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable for any
reason, in whole or in part, such provision will be more narrowly construed so that it becomes legal and enforceable, and
the entire Agreement will not fail on account thereof and the balance of the Agreement will continue in full force and effect
to the maximum extent permitted by law or equity while preserving, to the fullest extent possible, its original intent. No
waiver of any provision or condition herein shall be valid unless in writing and signed by you and an authorized
representative of Rightholder provided that no waiver of any breach of any provisions of this Agreement will constitute a
waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach. Rightholder’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of
any provision of this Agreement or any right shall not be construed as a waiver of any such provision or right.
