to put in perspective:
1) I purchased Avast passwords and used without creating an Avast login (I think).
2) When I wanted to add device and sync, I needed an Avast login.
3) When I created an Avast login, it led me to add my PC (which already had Avast anti virus + passwords installed
4) When I added my PC, it let me to install Avast Internet Security (even if it was already installed)
5) When Avast Internet Security was (re) installed, it erased all the old passwords (?). Is that what happened?
I'm not a tech (so I'm not entirely sure if what I mentioned above is exactly what happened).
Most importantly, I need HELPPPP because some of those passwords were Avast generated and I don't remember them, for very important websites like business bank accounts.
The reason I wanted to add device/sync was precisely so I wouldn't lose those passwords if ever my laptop was lost/stolen.
