Hello  @Saravanan Muthusamy,

Welcome!

:radioactive: Kaspersky Technical Support advise, atm, importing Firefox profiles/passwords, does not work, supposed to be fixed in patch G:radioactive:

All Kaspersky patches are released in stages, eta for KPM patch G, according to Kaspersky Technical Support, approx 23rd Dec 2019.

  • The support team said if the default Firefox profile is used, the KPM import works, I’ve tested that “workaround”, doesn’t work for me, you may wish to check?
  • If the workaround does work for you, please let me know?

Otherwise, please patiently wait for patch G.

:arrow_right: Also, as a standard good practice, make a KPM Backup & Export your data before apply any Kaspersky patch:arrow_left:

Thank you

Also check this thread in Spanish section, it seems since FF57, Import/Export actions can’t be done:

And a 3rd party tool is suggested: https://github.com/kspearrin/ff-password-exporter

Wonder why the Lab advised:

From: Kaspersky Lab Support <customerservicesolution@kaspersky.com>
Sent: Saturday, 14 December 2019 13:01 This is a bug. The fix will come with patch G for KPM. It will come to your KPM till the end of next week, please wait until then and check the issue.

Hi,

Can confirm this is still the case - import of passwords is not working into KPM

Firefox v72.0.4 64bit

Win10 Home v1903

What is the ETA for patch / fix?

Is there any manual workaround available in the meantime?

Thanks

The manual “workaround” Kaspersky Lab asked me to test did not work.

Hi!

It is known new bug (4028216). We are waiting for the information from developers on the issue. 

The most probably it will be fixed in one of the next KPM patches.

also, note that It doesn’t work for Google Chrome as well. I can import URL + User name but the password always is empty.

Hello @Harry Doan, 

Welcome!

Correct, I wonder if @Anton Mefodys knows:thinking:

The documentation says:

quote

Import data from your browsers' built-in password managers

All credentials saved in the selected browser's built-in password manager will be copied to your vault. When the import is completed, the application displays a report about the imported data.

Hello @Anton Mefodys, 

  • Why is it necessary for us to provide more data to the lab, which we’ve already done,  some of us numerous times? 
  • Really not impressed that we’ve been told, multiple times, this issue is fixed. 
  • Singularly unimpressed that Kaspersky Level 1 support are claiming they will not assist unless more data is provided:rage:
  • When Kasperksy “fixes” something do they test before giving us fake news, or are they relying on the Kaspersky Subscribers to be their LD50 Lab? 

Thank you:pray_tone3:

Hi, @Saravanan Muthusamy , @isf7boa , @Harry Doan , @Karyzec , @FLOOD
as a temporary solution, you can try PasswordFox for export, it is possible to save the csv format and then import this file into Kaspersky Password Manager: https://support.kaspersky.com/14384#block2

Hi @Friend The problem is that Kaspersky does delete Passwordfox when I try it xD
