Avast Passwords Unable To Log In
« on: September 26, 2021, 03:16:26 AM »
So I've installed the iOS 15 and since then it wants me to log in using my avast password for https://support.avast.com/en-us/article/Install-Passwords/ . I'm on an iPhone and I recognize that the product is not updated anymore.

I just got off the phone with support and they said that they don't have phone support ironically for phones. He told me specifically to fill out a privacy form since the product doesn't show up on the paid apps and the support for free apps (which this was) just says to come here. I did actually fill out the privacy form, but to be honest, it sounds like he was just trying to get rid of me.

Avast Passwords does still recognize my face, but when I input my password it acts like I didn't after login. I'll type in and it'll say "confirm new password" and when I press the button, it just removes the password and I'm right back where I started.

I've reset my Avast Password twice on the site since then, but it's still not any better.

Tried the phone number again and this new guy actually put in a ticket and gave me a ticket number. So a lot more helpful. If it's the case that they can actually resolve this, I'll post what the fix was.

This is the one we're stuck on if they're issue is the same as mine. Filling out the password and either clicking "Confirm new password" or pressing "Done" on the phone keyboard clear out the password field and does nothing. No error messgae.

I got an email saying my password had been reset by Avast, but when I tried to click on the link in the email, it said it was expired so I reset the password myself.

After turning on airplane mode, I was able to get in, but it seems that I can't use it anytime else.

Hi,

The next step would be to reset your backup data. You will essentially have to start from scratch. Please make sure to copy all of your Avast Passwords data so that you can add them again later.
Please let me know once you are ready to proceed, and we will delete your backup data.
