Kaspersky Lab announces the release of Kaspersky Password Manager, a robust password storage solution. Kaspersky Password Manager has been designed by Kaspersky Lab to address this problem and a number of related issues. The solution ensures the security of passwords used to access websites and Windows applications. Kaspersky Password Manager stores passwords, usernames and other confidential data in a dedicated database that is accessed via a master password. Kaspersky Password Manager can automatically recognize and fill in text fields in lengthy online forms and authorization dialog windows in password-protected websites and programs. The product helps the user identify themselves to a website or a program with just one mouse click. All these functions and capabilities make the new product from Kaspersky Lab an important addition to the protection provided by Kaspersky Anti-Virus/Kaspersky Internet Security 2010.

The standard authentication method in Kaspersky Password Manager requires the user to enter a master password to gain access to the protected database. This means the user does not have to remember or keep notes of passwords to all the programs and online services they use, including those used rarely. Other authentication methods include using a Bluetooth or USB device, such as a regular mobile phone, as a unique key to verify the user's identity. This provides reliable protection and means the user doesn't have to go the trouble of manually entering the master password.

Kaspersky Password Manager seamlessly integrates with other applications making it easy for the user to access the program. The product can either be accessed through the Taskbar or by pressing a button in the Windows GUI. Passwords stored in unprotected format in web browsers can be automatically imported to the solution's protected storage area. Kaspersky Password Manager is capable of generating strong passwords up to 99 characters long. This feature helps the user create long, complex and unique passwords.

Kaspersky Password Manager can be downloaded from Kaspersky Lab's website at http://www.kaspersky.com/downloads.
