Location of the Password Database file

Kaspersky Password Manager’s Password Database is an encrypted file that stores all your personal data (accounts, user names, passwords, and Identities).

The default paths for different versions of Microsoft Windows are as follows:

  • Microsoft Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\;
  • Microsoft Windows Vista: C:\Users\User_name\Documents\Passwords Database\;
  • Microsoft Windows 7: C:\Users\User_name\My Documents\Passwords Database\.

You can use different media to store your Password Database: removable disk, local disk, or network drive.

The following actions are possible when changing the path or names of the Password Database:
