Kaspersky Elevates User Security with Enhanced Password Manager

In an era where digital security is paramount, Kaspersky takes a major step forward by enhancing its Password Manager with innovative features. It addresses the security needs of millions of Americans who rely on password managers for the safekeeping of their digital credentials. With new improvements and wider browser support, Kaspersky Password Manager emerges as a top pick in the realm of online security.

Staggering Rise in Password Manager Usage

According to recent data from Security.Org, there has been a dramatic increase in the usage of password managers on mobile devices, surpassing desktop usage in 2022. The survey reveals that 84% of password vault users in the United States resort to their mobile devices for this purpose. Remarkably, around 45 million Americans have chosen password managers to protect their online credentials. However, a considerable number of people (nearly two in three) still rely on memorization or hand-written notes for password retention.

Kaspersky Enhances Two-factor Authentication

Stepping up its customer security game, Kaspersky now provides enhanced digital security through two-factor authentication (2FA). When the account password gets compromised, it’s the two-factor code that ensures the safety of the user’s accounts. This feature inserts a unique key to produce one-time login codes, refreshing them every 30 seconds. Users need to merely copy the code from the app and paste it in the required field during login, thus ensuring their digital safety at all times.

Expanding Support for Kaspersky Browser Extension

Kaspersky’s Password Manager has widened its umbrella of browser support, now including compatibility with Opera and Opera GX (version 92 and higher). This extension simplifies managing personal and sensitive information by auto-saving passwords, logins, and other essential data, while also auto-filling these details during login and online payments. The list of browsers supported also features Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari for OS X.

In conclusion, the continuous rise in the adoption of password managers and the evolution of cyber threats make it essential for users to enhance their digital security. Kaspersky, with its two-factor authentication and broad browser support, strengthens its standing in the password manager landscape. With these latest improvements, users can enjoy a more secure and relaxed digital experience.
