    The list of secret vaults displays the secret vault you just created.

    Data in a locked secret vault becomes available only after a password is entered.

If you already have a secret vault

  1. Click the I already have a secret vault link to open the Secret Vault window.
  2. In the Secret Vault window, select your secret folder and click Unlock.
  3. Enter the password and click Open in Windows Explorer.

    This opens the secret vault in Windows Explorer.

  5. Close the Windows Explorer window.
  6. In Kaspersky application interface, in the Secret Vault window, click Lock.

When adding files with identical names, which differ only in character case, to the secret vault, one of the files can be unavailable when trying to open the secret vault. To avoid data loss, we recommend adding such files to different secret vaults or changing the file names to completely unique ones.
