Is Kaspersky Password Manager safe?
Kaspersky Password Manager reads form fields on every page and routes credentials and passkey operations through a local native host.
The extension injects content scripts into all HTTP and HTTPS pages, serializing DOM structure and input field values (including passwords) on each page load and form interaction, then sending this data to the locally installed Kaspersky Password Manager application via native messaging. It also runs a MAIN-world script on all HTTPS pages that intercepts navigator.credentials.create and navigator.credentials.get, proxying WebAuthn and passkey ceremonies through the native host. All data remains local — no external servers are contacted by the extension itself.

Shared hosts - 4 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Kaspersky Password Manager contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
