Setting up PassWatch requires three steps, with one final optional (but recommended) step. The first is to activate the product itself, the second is setting up your Master Password, and the third is to install the PassWatch add-on for your browser.
Activating PassWatch
To activate PassWatch, you will first need to log in to our website. There, you will find the option to activate PassWatch under the PassWatch tab.
Do note that if you have already done this process on another device, you do not need to do it again.
For instructions on how to go through this process, please take a look at the following article: Activate PassWatch
Installing PassWatch
PassWatch on mac does not require a separate application to be installed, it is a separate add-on which you install directly in your browser.
The instructions on how you install it is similar, but varies slightly depending on the browser you use. Please click on the link below for the browser you use for instructions on how to get started.
Creating a Master Password
To log in to PassWatch and ensure your login credentials are stored securely, you will need to set up a password. This password should not be the same as the password you use for the other Ultra Secure AV products, it should be a unique, secure password that you do not use anywhere else.
If you have already done this process on another device, you do not need to do it again. You can use the same password on all devices.
You will be asked to set a Master Password for PassWatch when you register your account. For instructions on how to go through this process, please see the article Create a Master Password for PassWatch.
Importing your credentials into PassWatch
Finally, you will need to transfer your credentials from Kaspersky Password Manager into PassWatch. Do note that if you have already done this previously, you do not need to do so again.
The process to do this has been broken down into two steps for your convenience.
- First, you will want to Export passwords from Kaspersky Password Manager. You need to do this first in order to transfer them from one application to the other.
- Finally, you need to import your credentials into PassWatch. This can be conveniently done directly in PassWatch through the Import option, by simply selecting the file you created in the previous step. Detailed instructions on how this can be done can be found in our article How to import credentials into PassWatch.
Uninstalling Kaspersky Password Manager
It is recommended that you uninstall Kaspersky Password Manager after setting PassWatch up, to avoid any potential conflict between the two password managers. Make sure that you have exported all of your credentials from Kaspersky into PassWatch before you proceed with removing Kaspersky Password Manager.
