![]() ![]() Kaspersky, the ever-popular antivirus company, has begun expanding its lineup of cybersecurity services. Password Manager - which is offered à la carte and with Kaspersky’s Total Security package - provides unlimited password storage, multi-device sync and autofill for a low price. In this Kaspersky Password Manager review, we’re going to see if it has what it takes to rank among the best password managers. The outlook is hopeful, as Kaspersky’s mainline product ranks among the best antivirus software, as you can see in our Kaspersky Anti-Virus review. That said, we’ve seen other antivirus-bundled password managers that fall flat, namely those from F-Secure and McAfee. Kaspersky certainly surpasses those options, though it still falls short when compared to more established password managers. For basic password management, you could do a lot worse, especially with how inexpensive Kaspersky is. That said, if you’re looking for a more robust experience, it’s best to look elsewhere. Kaspersky has more features than we initially expected, though the list is still shorter than other password managers. With no two-factor authentication and limited entry types, Kaspersky doesn’t stack up to the top dogs. However, there are a few unique features that cement it above other antivirus-bundled password managers. Starting with what you can store, Kaspersky goes beyond NordPass, offering space for online logins, application logins, credit cards, addresses and notes. Your account comes with a limited amount of encrypted document storage, too. That said, those looking to store a large amount of data should still consider a cloud storage service like (read our review).Īs for actual features, there are a few cute things that Password Manager can do, but nothing we haven’t seen before.

In practice, these features are fine, though we weren’t too impressed using them. Similar to 1Password, Kaspersky integrates with, which is a database filled with compromised passwords and accounts. Unlike security centers we’ve seen with other password managers, though, Kaspersky doesn’t give you a security score. Rather, it just lets you know if any of your passwords show up on haveibeenpwned.Īlthough not as robust as security checks from other tools, Kaspersky’s offering works. Using the ever-secure password “12345678,” password check found that it has been hacked some 2,938,594 times. Useful to see, yes, but we would’ve liked to gain further password analysis, such as a password strength score.

In April 2021, Kaspersky published an advisory, and in May, technical information for the vulnerability was published. However, that fix wasn’t completely free of defects, so it took another year to address the problem properly on all platforms, assign a CVE code (CVE-2020-27020), and alert users that they need to re-generate their passwords. All of that was discovered and reported to Kaspersky back in June 2019, and the security company pushed the first fix in October of that year. ![]()
