  • Google Chrome (version 106 or later)
  • Mozilla Firefox (version 55 or later)

When importing data from Yandex.Browser, you may get an error that the main password that you have specified is incorrect, but it is correct. This can happen if Kaspersky Password Manager is unable to decrypt the application database due to database corruption, or if you are using outdated version of the browser or application.

This issue can be resolved if you perform any or all of the following actions:

  • Update Kaspersky Password Manager
  • Reinstall the browser with a full data cleanup if password sync is enabled in Kaspersky Password Manager
  • Update the browser

If the suggested actions do not work and the error persists, please contact Customer Service.
