I have found a vulnerability in the passwords app, there is no way of protecting the actual display of passwords stored in the app, one only has to sit at the computer, click on the Avast icon in the taskbar, then click on 'Privacy->Passwords' and there and behold are all the login urls and passwords clearly made available to anyone, by clicking one of the login boxes, and clicking the eye icon, the password is instantly available.  I don't see any means of protecting the app with a master password, whereas, google password do.

AND for goodness friggin sake, remove this DAMN captcha or make easier for people to friggin see it.  I took me 35 tries and eventually I had to copy the image to the HD and use an imaging software to zoom into the image to get the letters.

Hi, you can set security options including a master password at main Avast window -> Settings -> Passwords.
