Identity Protection Wallet
Identity Protection Wallet
If you keep important documents on your computer, for example, scans of photo ID documents, government documents, contracts, and so on, we recommend adding such documents to the secure wallet. Identity Protection Wallet is an encrypted file that requires entering a main password for access. This guarantees the security of your personal data by preventing third-party access to the documents.
About the main password
The main password is a single password that the Kaspersky application uses to encrypt your data in the wallet. We recommend using a main password that includes eight or more characters and contains upper and lower case letters as well as numerals and special characters.
For security reasons, the Kaspersky application does not store the main password on your devices and does not send it to the cloud storage. We recommend memorizing the main password or writing it down and keeping it in a secure location because there is no way of recovering a forgotten password.
About encryption
The Kaspersky application encrypts data using a symmetric encryption algorithm based on the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) standard. The key is computed from your main password based on the Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2). The AES algorithm is widely used around the world for protecting secret data. This algorithm has minimal RAM requirements, so your data can be encrypted and decrypted in a matter of seconds.
How to add a document to the wallet
- Open the main application window.
- Go to the Identity section.
- Under Identity Protection Wallet:
- If the wallet is not connected yet, click Download, to download the Kaspersky Password Manager application if it is not installed yet. The name of the button can be Start or Open if Kaspersky Password Manager is not configured, out of date, or connected to a My Kaspersky account that does not match the account to which the Kaspersky application is connected.
- To download and install Kaspersky Password Manager, follow the instructions of the Setup Wizard.
- The Kaspersky application suggests creating and connecting a wallet. Follow the Wizard instructions. When connecting a wallet, you are also prompted to create a main password.
- If you have already connected a wallet, click Add document.
- Under Documents, click Add document.
- In the drop-down menu, select:
- Browse for files. The explorer window opens. In the File name field, specify the path to the file and click Open. Select a category for the document (for quick search in the future) and click Add.
- Search automatically. The application searches for JPEG, PNG, BMP, and PDF files that contain text. Found files are analyzed and categorized as government-issued IDs or bank cards. Select the documents and click Finish.
- If the wallet is not connected yet, click Download, to download the Kaspersky Password Manager application if it is not installed yet. The name of the button can be Start or Open if Kaspersky Password Manager is not configured, out of date, or connected to a My Kaspersky account that does not match the account to which the Kaspersky application is connected.
Selected documents are added to the wallet as JPEG or PDF files.
How to extract a document from the wallet

- Go to the Identity section.
- Under Identity Protection Wallet, click Add document.
