Saving passwords

When you enter a password on a site for the first time, Yandex Browser for Mobile asks if you want to save it. When you visit this site in the future, your saved password will be entered for you automatically.

Save your password

To protect your data, create complex but easy-to-remember passwords or generate them. You can save passwords:

By default, Yandex Browser remembers the password that you enter on a site. If you aren't happy with this, turn off Save password in browser, which appears above the virtual keyboard when you type the password.

If you have created a master password, enter it. The master password is used in the encryption algorithm to reliably protect the password vault (because only you know the master password).

  1. Tap My info → Passwords.

  2. If you have already created a master password, enter it to access your vault.

  3. In the bottom-right corner, tap .

  4. Enter the website address, username, and password.

  5. Click .

Password generator

A generated password is hard to guess because it consists of a random set of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. You don’t need to memorize the password: the manager will automatically put it into the form, and you can view the password if necessary.

To generate a password:

  1. Tap in the input field.
  2. Above the virtual keyboard tap the generated password (it appears automatically as soon as the browser recognizes the registration or change password form).

The created password will be added to the vault. Strengthen the vault’s security with a master password.

Automatic password retrieval

Enter your username. As you type, usernames you have used to sign into the site will appear above the virtual keyboard. Select one of them to put the username and corresponding password into the authorization form.

If you have created a master password, you have to enter it after selecting or entering the username. This enables the browser to decrypt the password for the website and put it in the form.

Switch usernames

To log in using a different name, put your cursor in the field where you enter your username. Yandex Browser will show a list of your usernames above the virtual keyboard. Select the one you need.
