Password Manager

A new version is available

Due to security reasons, Password Manager 2.x is no longer supported. If you are an existing user, click here for instructions to upgrade Password Manager to the latest version (for mobile devices or extensions).

Password Manager protects and stores your passwords and personal data. It includes a form completion feature that saves time by completing web forms automatically and accurately, as well as a built-in password generator that prompts you to create strong, unpredictable passwords. Your newly created login credentials are stored automatically as they are created.

Password Manager Access

Password Manager is only available for users who have an ESET Smart Security Premium license. Users must connect the license to their myESET account and set up a Password Store to use Password Manager.

If you are a first-time user, perform the following steps to set up Password Manager.

  1. Click Password Manager. To access Password Manager from the Home screen, click Setup → Security Tools → Password Manager.

Parental Control

Parental Control enables users to allow or restrict access to certain web content depending on the age and profile of the user account. You will also create a security password to protect all settings within your ESET home product. The password will be required for any future modifications to ESET Smart Security Premium, ESET Smart Security, and ESET Internet Security. See the following articles for more information about setting up and using Parental Control.

Anti-Theft

ESET Anti-Theft uses geographical IP address lookup, web camera image capture, user account protection and device monitoring to help you and a law enforcement organization locate your computer or device if it is lost or stolen. Anti-Theft is recommended for laptop users; you do not need to setup Anti-Theft on a stationary PC. Activate ESET Anti-Theft.
