Kaspersky Lab has launch the Kaspersky Password Manager which will enable users to remote access to their passwords via their personal page on the My Kaspersky portal, automatic security verification for entered passwords, voice control and other useful features.
According to a recent survey, 70 percent of respondents are aware of and concerned about account hacking this is the highest ranking of all cyber-threats. The second and third biggest concerns are also account-related issues: password-stealing malware (69 percent) and risks to accounts with financial information (65 percent). 18 percent of users, i.e., almost one in five, experienced attempts by cyber criminals to hack their accounts during a 12-month period. Importantly, according to the victims themselves, accounts were most often hacked by simply guessing the password (40 percent of cases). This comes as no surprise, however, if you consider how many users today neglect to create strong passwords and fail to store them securely.
A senior executive at Kaspersky said, User behaviour is understandable nowadays most of us have dozens of different accounts: email, social networking, banking, gaming, messaging and much more. It`s hard to create and memorize a strong password for each account. However, there are apps designed for such situations: they can generate strong passwords that are different for different services, store them securely, synchronize them on various devices and automatically enter them in forms on websites. The user needs to remember just one master password instead of dozens of different passwords. These apps secure your accounts and free up memory for other issues.
Kaspersky Password Manager is one such solution which features the updated version can import passwords from other similar solutions, generate strong passwords on PCs and Macs and automatically check passwords entered by users to determine whether they are secure.
