Do you have the Master Password set up on another device, already?

If no, you have to just set up the Master Password.

• Open Avast UI
• Open Settings (Bottom left corner of window)
• Click on the "Passwords" tab which is the fifth tab down on the left side of the new window.
• Set up your Master Password and then you can synchronize

If yes, you can use that device to authorize your PC.

• Open Avast UI.
• Open Settings (Bottom left corner of window).
• Click on the "Passwords" tab which is the fifth tab down on the left side of the new window.
• Click on the "Turn on Synchronization" button.
• Your device that is already authorized should now have a notification that allows you to authorize your PC. Confirm that you want to authorize your PC with that notification.

If you've already done this and you didn't see or get the notification, follow the same steps but cancel the authorization, instead and then click the "Turn on Synchronization" button again to receive it once again. Make sure you have your other device close by for easy access and also:

• You are using the same Avast account on both devices
• Notifications for Avast are allowed
• Notifications in general are on
• No third party applications are blocking notifications
• Your device is connected to the internet
