What Kaspersky Password Manager is and how to use it

Do you have any idea of how many online services you actually use or sites and forums that you visit? If you were to track and count, the sheer number would probably amaze you. We’d conservatively estimate that it is at least two dozen, but is probably much higher.

If you want to use all these resources safely, you have to invent and remember unique passwords for each one. Security rules are strict so cyber-savvy people don’t reuse their passwords, choose only reliable combinations and change them regularly. It’s hard to remember all passwords so many people write them down on paper or in a text file. This is not safe — the password list can be lost or stolen.

To solve for this, password managers were invented to help people use passwords safely and easily. Kaspersky Password Manager is a good example of such software that keeps all passwords encrypted and secure. It allows you not to memorize bunches of combinations and remember only one password — the master key used to access the program. All other passwords will be kept in the password manager and can be easily accessed.
