Account security is worrying Internet users more than any other aspect of their digital life.
According research, 70% of respondents are aware of and worry about the possibility of a bank account being violated, which is at the highest position among the possible digital threats. In the second and third place there are also issues related to account security: malicious software that steals passwords (69%) and risks to accounts containing financial information (65%). Asked about the type of data that digital criminals could access, users once again said they were more concerned about passwords (50%). Even private photos and videos are less important, with only 24% of respondents worried about them.
This concern is not unfounded: according to the same survey, 18% of users, that is, almost one in five, have been faced with attempted violations of their accounts by digital criminals over a period of 12 months. It is important that, according to the victims themselves, accounts are more often violated simply by guessing the password (40% of cases). This, however, is no surprise if you think of how many users are currently neglecting to create strong passwords and are unable to safely store them.
“User behavior is understandable – these days, most of us have dozens of different accounts (email, social media, banks, electronic games, messaging applications, etc.). It is difficult to create and remember a strong password for each account. However, there are applications designed for such situations: they can generate strong passwords that are different for each service, store them securely, synchronize them on various devices and automatically enter them into forms on various websites. The user only needs to remember one master password instead of dozens of different passwords. These apps keep your accounts safe and free up memory for other things"Said Elena Kharchenko, Head of Consumer Product Management, Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky Password Manager is such a solution. In addition to the basic features, its update can enter passwords from other similar solutions, generate powerful PC and Mac passwords, and automatically check the passwords entered by users to see if they are safe.
Users of the new Kaspersky Password Manager will also be able to access their passwords remotely, via their personal page in the “My Kaspersky” portal, in case the application cannot be installed or must enter a password on someone else's device. Finding the password you need is now easier than ever with voice control for Google Chrome.
All new features are now available for PC and Mac. In addition, users of the new MacBook Pro can now replace their master fingerprint password.
