See reply #10

You need to correctly setup the first device, before enabling/trying synchronization.

My first device (my computer) is set up. I already have synchronization turned on. I followed the steps outlined in https://www.avast.com/faq.php?article=AVKB255.

Dear nicholas.j.curley & mcompagno,

unfortunately we can't resend you a backup email. Avast has a zero knowledge about your passwords so in this situation we don't have a way how to regenerate a backup mail for you (because authorized device generated the data in the backup mail).

Only thing I can do for you is reset of your synchronization group so you can start from scratch. Please note that the data you’ve synchronized in the past will be lost. As you can’t find backup email and you don’t have any authorized device they are actually lost already. Only you with authorized device can read the data .
Data you have stored locally (even if you are in pending authorization state) will not be affected. Also note that before we perform reset you should turn off synchronization on all devices you have tried to turn it on already. We can guide you as we know which devices are in group, unfortunately in your situation that’s almost all we know about your data. 
If you want reset your account, please write me.

One note to your sentence " I already have synchronization turned on". Our data showed that your desktop is not authorized (you are logged into Avast Account but no active device authorize you). Please note, that if you are logged into Avast Account it doesn't mean that synchronization is automatically on.

Can you please look at your Windows version on Settings -> Passwords -> Synchronization and what message do you have there ?
1) Your passwords, notes and autofill data are automatically synchronized on all devices which are connected to the same Avast Account
or
2) To connect with your existing vault you must authorize access first from any other device...etc

Thank you.

jelinek,

I would like to have my account reset. I've turned off synchronization on my phone. However, on my desktop, when I try to turn of synchronization it asks if i want to continue (I say yes) and then nothing happens. I've tried restarting and everything but is permanently on. In the settings window->passwords>sync> there is no info about my Windows version. Simply that I need to authorize access from any other existing device (there is no other device).

Thank you for your help and reply.

Hello nicholas,

sorry for delay in my response (holiday). Now I will be quicker.

If you have a problem with logout please try this.

- Log in into your vault by insert your master password manually (not over One Touch Login) feature.
- Turn off the One Touch Login (Settings -> Passwords -> One Touch login section -> Turn off)
- Then turn off the synchronization ( Settings -> Passwords -> Synchronization section -> Turn off synchronization)

Your account is reset now. So after you log in back into your account, your device will be authorized and back up email come to your mailbox.

If you have any problems, please contact me.

Have a nice day,

J.

Jelinek,

No worries, thanks for the response. I logged in manually but I cannot turn off one touch. I click "turn off" and nothing happens.

Dear Nicholas,

we are sorry for your troubles.

This advice help you with your problem.

  • In your phone please go to Settings -> One Touch Login pairing -> Click on "Unpair"
  • In Windows go to Settings -> One Touch Login -> Pair new device
  • Pair again your phone with your desktop by instructions
  • After pair, please lock your vault and then log-in again by inserting your master password manually (not over OTL)
  • Now go to settings again and turn off the One Touch Login and then "Turn off synchronization". It could works now

You should be now disconnect from your account (beware that turning off synchronization delete all your passwords and notes).

We will be very glad, if you find a time and send us a logs, where we can recognize what's going wrong in your situation and we can do some bugfix.

Please find a file c:\ProgramData\AVAST Software\Avast\log\AvastSvc.log - Please send this file into my Private Message or send it to jelinek@avast.com

Thank you very much,

J.

Did you connect the devices to the same avast account ?

If they are, where do you get stuck ?
