About app accounts

An app account is a combination of a login and password required to authenticate a user in an app.

For apps, Kaspersky Password Manager saves the following information to the entry:

• App name. Use a meaningful name so you can quickly find the entry you need.
• Accounts. You can save multiple accounts for an app.

You can add, edit, or remove app accounts and copy them to the clipboard.

Each entry has the Password change history section that contains a list of passwords that have been saved for that account. This list stores up to five passwords, including the current one.

You can organize your entries by selecting them and moving them into a folder.

Add an app entry

You can save multiple accounts for signing in to the same app.

Add an app entry from the Kaspersky Password Manager window

If you sign in to an app with credentials that have not yet been added to the vault, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically recognizes such credentials as new and prompts you to add an app entry. If you sign in to an app with an existing login but a new password, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to save the new password for the existing account.

You can generate a strong password for an app account while adding it from the Kaspersky Password Manager window.

Generate a strong password while adding an app entry

Edit an app account

1. Unlock the vault by entering the main password and tapping Unlock.

   If your device is running Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication, and has fingerprint authentication enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the main password.

2. In the All Entries window, tap > Apps.
3. In the Apps window, select the entry that you want to edit.
4. Tap > Edit.

   The entry window opens.

5. Change a previously added account or add a new one.
6. If needed, tap Password change history. In the window that opens, you can find the last 5 passwords for the account, including the current one.

   Tap to copy one of the passwords or to use the selected password instead of current one.

7. Tap Save.

Autofill forms and automatically sign in to apps

On devices running Android 8 or later, you can automatically fill in the login and password fields in apps by using credentials saved in Kaspersky Password Manager, which uses the autofill framework. For more information about the autofill framework, refer to the Android documentation.

Sign in to an app by using Kaspersky Password Manager

If you sign in to an app with credentials that have not yet been added to the vault, Kaspersky Password Manager automatically recognizes such credentials as new and prompts you to add an app entry. If you sign in to an app with an existing login but a new password, Kaspersky Password Manager prompts you to save the new password for the existing account.

Copy data from an app account

1. Unlock the vault by entering the main password and tapping Unlock.

   If your device is running Android 6.0 or later, supports fingerprint authentication, and has fingerprint authentication enabled in the app settings, you can use it to unlock your vault instead of entering the main password.

2. In the All Entries window, tap > Apps.
3. In the Apps window, expand the app entry whose data you want to copy, and do one of the following:
   • If you want to copy a particular record, tap next to it.
   • If you want to copy all data saved for the entry, tap > Copy all.

     Kaspersky Password Manager copies the following data to the clipboard:

     • The app entry name
     • For each account added to the entry, the account name, login, password, and comment

Kaspersky Password Manager keeps the copied data in the clipboard for the period specified in the Kaspersky Password Manager settings.
