Kaspersky Password Manager gets a new look

[harlan4096]

We’ve updated the design of our password manager’s mobile version. Storing and managing passwords is now even more convenient.



We’re always working to ensure our products and solutions remain top-tier — both in our own view and in the eyes of independent researchers. We take a comprehensive approach to this, adding new features, combating emerging malware, simplifying migration, and continually enhancing user experience.

Today, we’re excited to introduce a major update to Kaspersky Password Manager for mobile devices. This update will roll out across all app stores throughout November 2024. We’re confident this refresh will make storing and managing passwords, two-factor authentication codes, and encrypted documents even easier. In this article, we’ll cover advanced filtering, search functionality, synchronization, and more.

Highlights

The mobile version of our password manager is celebrating its 10[sup]th[/sup]  anniversary this year (while the desktop version turns 15), and in those 10 years we’ve managed to consolidate all the best features into a single app. In recent years, we’ve been conducting extensive Kaspersky Password Manager user-behavior research and, based on the findings, we’ve completely revamped the navigation in our mobile app.

What’s new:

• The side menu has been replaced with a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. The product’s core features are now organized into sections.
  
• We’ve created a dedicated section for the in-app search, and improved the search scenarios.
  
• Managing favorite entries is now more convenient; they’re now pinned at the top of the list.
  
• We’ve added a “Sync” button and placed it in a prominent location.
  
• The password generator, import, and security-check features have been grouped into a separate “Tools” section.
  

These changes are available to all Kaspersky Password Manager users on both Android (app version 9.2.106 and later) and iOS (app version 9.2.92 and later).

Navigation bar

All core Kaspersky Password Manager functions are now accessible through the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

Let’s look at each element of the new bar from left to right.

1. All Entries. This is the main menu – the heart of our password manager.
   
2.  Subscription. Here, you can view your current subscription, including the expiry date and provider. If you don’t have a subscription, you can create or log in to a My Kaspersky account to activate or purchase one.
   
3. Tools. Here, you’ll find the “Password Generator”, “Password Check”, and “Import Passwords” tools. The names speak for themselves. With a single click, you can create strong, unique passwords, check your existing passwords for uniqueness, strength, security, and compromise in data breaches, and import passwords from built-in browser password managers and similar products into our secure vault.
   
4. Search. If you’re an active internet user and have dozens or even hundreds of unique passwords for different accounts saved in Kaspersky Password Manager, simply click on the magnifying glass icon and type just a few characters to quickly find the entry you need.
   
5. Settings. This is where you can enable notifications, change your primary password, configure auto-lock and login methods, choose sorting options, access help resources, check the app version, and log out of your account.
