Avast browser keeps disabling Avast Password Manager
« on: April 12, 2019, 10:32:48 PM »
I have installed Avast AV with Avast Secure Browser and also the Avast Password Manager addon in the Avast Secure Browser.

It appears that the Avast Password Manager keeps getting disabled after a period of time and you have to re enable it....

Has anyone else had this issue ?  I have this issue on a number of machines and its a tad odd !

In the past, I have done a 'clean install' of the ASB which has served to clear up oddities.  :)
To see if that resolves your issue.

Clean install of the Secure Browser: Thx Bob

Download the installer from here, https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser
Download the Secure Browser Removal tool from here, https://download.avastbrowser.com/avast_secure_browser_uninstall.exe
Save your Bookmarks via the Book Marks Manager if you have custom bookmarks so you can import them when you re-install.
Uninstall Secure Browser via Programs and Features - Reboot
Run the removal tool, reboot, run the installer import your favorites if you saved them.
A video to help with the installation: https://youtu.be/r_VLA0HMLQM
Report back if that's solved the problem or not.
