Title: Master Password not working in latest update to Avast Free Antivirus
Post by: Ferrara on May 20, 2021, 03:59:57 PM

Running Windows 10 on Dell XPS8930 desktop. Updated Avast this morning to ver. 21.4.2464 build 21.4.6266.561 and restarted. Now when I enter my master password it just switches back to the screen showing the UNLOCK button every time I enter the correct password.

Will try restarting again...

After restarting I tried again, same thing happens. Then I click on Settings in upper right and I uncheck all the boxes to automatically lock passwords.

Now It Works. Will I need to click on the settings every time after I enter my master password? Is this a bug or does the update have another level of security I need to pass each time?
