Identity
Kaspersky Premium includes tools to protect your digital identity and a dedicated channel to contact Customer Service.
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.

Remote access applications are legitimate software for connecting to a remote computer over the network. Remote access applications include TeamViewer, LogMeIn Pro, and Remotely Anywhere. Hackers can use such applications to gain control over your computer, install malware, impersonate you, or begin spying on you.
We will check if remote access applications are installed on your computer and will help you remove such applications to prevent anybody from gaining control over your device.
To find remote access applications on your computer:
- Open the main application window.
- Go to the Identity section.
- In the Remote Access Detection block, click the View button.
- This opens the Remote Access Detection window; in this window, you can see which remote access applications were found on your computer.
In this window, you can:
- Click Details next to a remote access application to view a short description of the application.
- In the drop-down list next to an application, select Remove if you want to remove the application. This takes you to the Programs and Features window where you can remove the relevant application.
- In the drop-down list next to an application, select Ignore if you do not want to remove the application right now. The application is added to the Hidden group and you will be able to return to it later.
Searching for remote access applications does not work if the Intrusion Prevention component is disabled.
