Upgrade Password Manager to a more recent version

Important

Upgrading the ESET Password Manager application (Android and iOS) to a more recent version does not migrate your passwords and data from the previous version. We recommend that you upgrade Password Manager using one of the ESET browser extensions.

Important

You cannot install Password Manager version 3 as a standalone Windows application.

Password Manager version 2 is not supported. A new version is available. To upgrade Password Manager to the latest version (for mobile devices or extensions):

1.Back up your data and export your data from Password Manager version 2.

Important

When exporting your data from Password Manager version 2, select ESET Password Manager XML. In Password Manager version 3, the .spdb format is no longer supported. For more information, see Supported import formats.

Note

If you did not export your data from Password Manager version 2 and want to regain access to your data from the previous version of Password Manager, see How to export your data from Password Manager version 2.

2.Download an extension and install a new Password Manager extension for your specific web browser.

3.Log in with your current credentials. If you accidentally select the check box next to Remember me, log out of your ESET Password Manager. For the next login, this check box will be clear.

4.For security reasons, you must change the Master Password.

5.Copy or download the Recovery Key to a location that you can easily remember. A 24-digit Recovery Key is needed to regain access to the account.

Warning

Due to the type of data stored in the ESET Password Manager, we strongly recommend storing the Recovery Key in a secure place - an encrypted folder or a vault. Recovery Key enables you to recover your data if you forget your Master Password.
