this post seems fishy
I was thinking the same thing. The same company whose CEO hobnobs[1] with Vlad Putin's buddies says:
remember to test sample passwords with our online password checker
Sure, be sure to send any password you're considering using to Kaspersky for thorough vetting. I'm sure they won't retain a copy of it. Trust them.
start thinking about investing in a password manager. Kaspersky’s password manager is a great one
How fortunate for everyone that they just happen to have such a useful product. But a quick Google also turned up a list of 7 open source password managers. Maybe consider using one of those instead?[2]
