Avast Passwords in Macbook M1
« on: November 26, 2020, 10:06:01 AM »
I got and error about "Avast Passwords didn't start properly". I tried uninstall and reinstall the product for many times but still no clue for working. Any ideas?

Are there any debug information I can access so I can share it here?

How can you get this? I got nothing when I follow the steps in the previous post. (Hold the option button and clicking on the top bar ap icon)

Hi,
This issue is caused by Apples M1 chip which prevents Avast Passwords from functioning correctly. Unfortunately, the only current solution would be to make use of an alternative password manager. If you still have access to your previous Mac on which Avast Passwords was working, then you could export the data file and import it into an alternative password manager.

Thanks for your reply. Hoping the team is working out this issue and update the app ASAP.

There is a workaround. I took the IPA of the App from iPad/iPhone by using iMazing. It's not very implemented for Mac use, for example the automatic filling.

Seems that I can only "copy" or "export" to an .imazingapp file. Is that not enabled in the trial version?

i's not necessary to pay the app iMazing...you have to go in some option of the app manager , than you have to download the app that you want, once you did it , right click and click on "export the app". I did it for free.
