Kaspersky Password Manager has unveiled two new features. The first one enables users to safely store unique keys for two-factor
authentication and to generate one-time passwords. Additionally, the list of supported browsers has been expanded to include Opera and Opera GX.
The use of password managers is becoming a more inevitable option given the rising number of digital credentials required and increased complexity of passwords needed to foil hackers. According to Security.Org’s “” survey, mobile device usage of password managers surpassed that on desktops in 2022, with 84 percent of password vault users in the US employing them on their phones.
Kaspersky Password Manager now offers users enhanced digital security by obtaining verification codes for two-factor authentication protected accounts. The two-factor code is used to improve the security of the most important user accounts and protect them even when the account password has been compromised.
The new feature enters a unique key stored to generate one-time login code, updating them every 30 seconds. Users need to copy the code from the app and paste it into the required field when logging into their account. Mac users can view and type in the codes for authentication manually. For Windows users this feature will become available in fall 2023.
Kaspersky’s Password Manager browser extension has also been expanded to support Opera and Opera GX . This extension makes it easier for users to manage work with personal and sensitive information, automatically saving logins, passwords, and other data in Kaspersky Password Manager as well as auto-filling those credentials when logging in or making online payments.
