Sync settings

Syncing lets you save your main browser settings and personal data on a designated Yandex server. All information is transmitted to the Yandex server over a secure channel. Passwords are sent encrypted. Access to your data on the server is protected by the same authorization system as on other Yandex services.

How sync works

By default, passwords, sites on Tableau, bookmarks, autofill forms, and open tabs are synced.

After you enable syncing, data will be synced each time you change data that is stored on the server. For example, when you add a bookmark to your smartphone, the browser sends it to the server and simultaneously downloads all the changes you made on other devices (since the last sync).

Syncing lets you:

Configure the browser the same way on all your devices.
Recover passwords, bookmarks, tabs and browser settings, even if something goes wrong with your device.
View open tabs, bookmarks and sites that are saved to your Tableau on your synchronized devices.

You can turn off syncing or adjust the list of data to sync at any time when using the browser.
