The cybersecurity firm Kaspersky has updated its password manager with various improvements and new features across Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
To form the Kaspersky Password Manager user experience cleaner and more transparent on Windows 10, the corporate has introduced a replacement dashboard crammed with easy navigation tabs, real-time password security, and even actionable advice.
Simultaneously, managing password security is also easier for Windows users now that Kapserky’s password manager groups passwords by their strength. The app uses the color green for strong passwords, the color yellow for passwords that aren’t unique, and therefore the color red for both weak and compromised passwords.
Kaspersky Password Manager has also been updated for Mac to figure with devices running Apple’s new M1 chips. This remake of the company’s password manager for Mac features a more polished appearance and even allows Safari users to repeat their card numbers, addresses, and login data directly from its browser extension.
IOS and Android improvements
The iOS version of Kaspersky Password Manager has been upgraded to scan multiple-page documents and as quickly import documents. Additionally, users can combine multiple scans into one PDF, and every one of those improvements makes it easier for users to quickly and safely store their most sensitive documents.
The Android version of Kaspersky’s password manager has also been updated, and it now supports a complete of 10 different browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Vivaldi, and more, to permit users to autofill data. Its Password Check feature has also been added to its Android app after previously only being available on other platforms. A dark mode and support for Huawei smartphones were a part of the new update also.
Head of consumer product marketing at Kaspersky, Marina Titova, provided further insight in the handout on why consumers should think about using a password manager if they’re not already doing so, saying:
“User account information (such as passwords) is one among the foremost sought-after things by cybercriminals because it allows access to non-public data. At an equivalent 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 assist consumers to 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.”
