Protect: secure your bank cards
Use the bank card manager in Yandex Browser for Mobile to view, change, and delete your card data.
Save a bank card
When you enter your bank card details in Yandex Browser for the first time, the browser asks whether you want to save this information and use it for autofilling online payment forms in the future.
You can also link your card to your Yandex account.

Synchronizing cards
For security reasons, card data is only synchronized if you're using the master password. Card data is securely protected during synchronization.
Bank card data is currently synced only between computers and Android smartphones. When other mobile devices support storing bank card details, you will be able to synchronize your card info across all your devices.
Card syncing will be disabled if syncing is fully disabled. To disable only password and card syncing:
Disable the card manager
- Tap in the browser (if you don't see this button, press the menu button on your smartphone).
- Tap Settings.
- Go to the Passwords section.
- Disable the Bank card manager option.
The browser will no longer suggest bank card details in payment forms or offer to save cards. Previously entered card data will remain encrypted on your smartphone to become available as soon as you enable the bank card manager again.
To do this, enable the Bank card manager option in the settings.
