1Saving a password in the Yandex browser

In Yandex Browser, you can use the “Automatically save password” function. To do this you need:

Go to the browser menu. On the right side of the monitor, at the very top there will be a button, after pressing which the main menu will be displayed.
Next, select “Settings” from the menu.
At this point, select “Passwords”, and then “Settings”.
In the settings, check the box next to “Save passwords automatically.”

After which passwords will be saved not only from the VKontakte social network, but also from other sites.

When automatically saving passwords, Yandex Browser will always ask if you need to save the password, and will also offer your already created passwords.

Using this principle, you can save passwords using any other browser.

Browser help

Initially, every browser is automatically designed to save passwords. This is done for the convenience of users. Some of them create several profiles on the same social network at once, and remembering all the passwords is not an easy task. Thus, the browser makes life easier for those who use it.

So, if the autosave function is not disabled, the browser will automatically offer to remember the authorization values.

Let's look at the process of saving a password using Google Chrome as an example (https://www.google.ru/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html). Essentially, other browsers work in the same way. As soon as you log in to your personal page, Chrome will prompt you to save your password. The notification will automatically appear in the address bar. If you accidentally close the window, open it again by clicking on the key symbol there.

But what to do if this notification does not appear. In this case, most likely, saving passwords in the browser itself is prohibited. Here you will have to go to the settings and correct this option. Open Chrome Tools, scroll down to the "Passwords and Forms" option.

Check the boxes and try logging into VK again. After these steps everything will work out. In other browsers, approximately the same scheme works. For Firefox (https://www.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/new/) the path will be as follows: Tools – Settings – Protection – Exclude. In Opera (https://www.opera.com/ru) find Settings - Forms - Password Management. Well, in IE (https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/internet-explorer.aspx) go to Tools - Internet Options - General. There, delete the history and give the browser permission to save logins and passwords.

Some people do not trust this method, so they prefer special programs. If you are one of these types of people, the following information in the article will be just for you.

2Saving multiple VKontakte accounts

You can save several accounts at once to log in to VKontakte.

First, you need to prompt the browser to save one password, then exit this profile and enter the password for the next account that you want to save.
To do this, you need to place the mouse cursor in the Login line and select the required one from the list.
Also on VKontakte, before entering your profile, information appears about accounts that you recently logged into from a computer or mobile device.
You just need to click on the required profile and you will be logged in automatically. To add another profile, just click: “Login to another account.”

What is a VK password and why is it needed?

A password can be considered a symbol, most often a set of letters, numbers and other characters, which is intended to confirm authority and identity. Passwords are used to protect information from access by unauthorized persons. Despite all the seriousness, you can make sure that the VK password is not saved.

In order for the password to provide high-quality protection against unauthorized access to the VKontakte page, you should think carefully about creating it. Quite often, people use their first and last names and date of birth as a password. The names of loved ones and their dates of birth are also provided with a password. This action can be considered wrong if among your friends there are individuals who may want to visit your page without your knowledge. In such situations, choosing a password to log into your account will not be difficult. As a rule, your friends know what day you and your relatives were born on; they also probably know the date of your wedding and other important events.

In order to ensure that the information on your social network page remains truly yours, you should take care of a more complex combination of characters that will serve as a password for your page. If you suddenly forget your password, you should recover it (See How to recover your VKontakte password)

It will be even easier to obtain your information if you save your VK password in the browser you use. To do this, you just need to turn on your computer, open your browser, and it will give absolutely anyone access to log into your account.

3Password protection

The most important way to protect passwords remains a simple method - at least sometimes changing your password. If you have to save your VKontakte password, it is also better to use complex passwords consisting of large, small letters and numbers.

Nowadays, browsers have special upgrades that allow you to protect passwords from intruders.
And to make sure that the page is not hacked, you can view the VKontakte activity history. To do this, go to your profile settings and select Security.
This history displays all user activity. If you notice suspicious activity from the current page, it is best to change your password.

In fact, saving your VK password is easy and simple, and current technologies make it possible to protect your social network page from hacking.

Password program

In general, saving secret data in the browser is not a good idea, since it can be easily extracted from there by malware, and any user who accidentally gains access to your computer can obtain data that you would not want to provide to them. The VKontakte password saving program allows you to receive login information for a specific account every time you enter the appropriate login. The program for remembering authorization data must be downloaded from the Internet and launched on your device.

One popular program for remembering passwords is LastPass. It can be downloaded from the official website https://lastpass.com/, it also provides the ability to synchronize data for all your devices:

How to change VK

While on your page, this is very easy to do. You need to click on your avatar in the page header on the right, and select “Settings” in the menu that appears. The VKontakte control center will appear, and the “General” tab will immediately open. Here you need to find the “Password” block.

Why do you need to delete your saved password?

If you value your page, especially if you conduct commercial activities from it, we recommend that you definitely delete the saved key and login in Contact after logging into your account from someone else’s device. What can attackers do if they accidentally get hold of your saved secret code?

They will assign a profile and begin conducting their illegal activities on your behalf;
They will begin to distribute prohibited content, for example, extremist, pornography, scenes of cruelty, and create teenage groups with calls for destructive activities (including suicide);
They will appropriate your groups and communities and use commercial data if you run a business in VK;
They will create a dozen fakes and clone profiles, where they will sell all sorts of nonsense on your behalf, promote network marketing, or use it for other purposes;
Hooligans can simply delete all the content of the page: photos, videos, products, music;
Or send obscene or offensive messages to your contacts;

We save all browser passwords

A neighbor or a specialist on call will install a new operating system, and who will recover ALL PASSWORDS FROM ALL BROWSERS for you?

There are several ways out of this situation. If synchronization was enabled in the browser, then all data can be restored from the cloud.

If you periodically made backup copies of your Internet browser profile, then you can insert it into a freshly installed browser and everything will be fine again. There is a program for this called MozBackup, for example.

And users of the LastPass program (and service) don’t have to worry about this supposed problem at all.

But you know what’s most surprising: literally only a few users use all of the above means of saving their data. Everyone is sure that this will not affect them and that everything will be fine with them forever, they are charmed, they are not some kind of “dummies”.
