# Syncing data

_Syncing_ is the exchange of data between Yandex apps and browsers on your devices. For intermediate data storage, the Yandex server is used. The data is passed to it over a secure channel, while passwords are passed in an encrypted format. The data on the server is protected by the Yandex authorization system. Syncing allows you to access data from all your devices and restore data if your device is lost or broken.

## How syncing works

After you enable syncing, data will be synced each time you change data that is stored on the server. For example, when you save a password on your device, the app sends it to the server and simultaneously downloads all the changes made on your other devices since the last sync.

Syncing lets you:

- Use the password and card manager on your synced devices (automatic password entry, encrypted password storage, recovery of site access if you forget your master password).
- View history on your synced devices.
- Recover passwords, card information, autofill data, and history, even if something happens to your device.

You can turn off syncing or adjust the list of data to sync at any time when using the browser.


## Enable syncing {#on}

In order for syncing to work you have to:

- All devices (computer, smartphone, and tablet) have [the Yandex app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yandex.searchapp) or [Yandex Browser](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yandex.browser).
- You use the same [Yandex ID](https://yandex.com/support/passport/authorization/registration.html) on all your devices.

To enable syncing:


1. On the [home screen](https://yandex.com.tr/support/yandex-app-android-alice/en/app/interface.md), tap **Log In**.
1. Select the account you want, or tap **Add account** and enter your Yandex login and password. This will enable syncing.

    {% note tip %}

    If you aren't registered on Yandex, tap **Register** and fill out the account information.
