I have been using Kaspersky Password Manager for about a year without many issues.
However, recently, there is a very strange bug on my program. When I use the number bar above the QWERTY characters on the keyboard, it types some characters instead of the numbers. If I use Shift, it types the capitalized version of said characters, instead of these characters ! @ # $ %. This issue also happen at the start screen when the program asks me to input my master password also, making it very inconvenient (since I have special characters in my password) and insecure for me to unlock my passwords. This only happen in my Kaspersky Password Manager and no other programs. I can type numbers normally with the numpad.
Here’s a photo of what it types when I try to type in 1 2 3 4 with the number bar.

Re: “AV”, I try not to assume everyone has Kaspersky AV software
- Kaspersky Total Security is up to version 20.0.14.1085(E), are you using 19.0.0.1088 (i) by choice?
