« on: May 20, 2021, 10:43:19 PM »
Hello i found a bug with avast passeword

Hi,

Is this version 21.4?
Please repair Avast Antivirus, it should help.

Hi,
Thank you for the update.
I take it you restarted Windows after the repair.
These steps should work:
1. Make sure Avast Passwords is unlocked.
2. Go to "Privacy" > "Passwords" > "Settings" > make sure non of the options in "Auto-lock" is selected.
3. Repair Avast Antivirus but do not Restart
We are working on a permanent fix which should allow it to work normally again.
You can try the above steps or wait for the update.
