Avast One is not compatible with Avast Passwords ?

[CATERMOL]

Hello,

I tried to install Avast One free (AvastOne Essentiel) on my pc running under Windows 10.
I got a blocking message according to copy below.
As I use Firefox by default, I disabled the Avast Passwords extension.
But I still get the same blocking message.
What other possible solution?
Is the problem the same with Avast One Premium ?
Thanks.
Cordially.

Hi,

Avast Passwords is a component of Avast Antivirus (Free and Premium) but not Avast One. You won't be able to use Avast Passwords with Avast One.
Before you install Avast One on Windows, you need to uninstall other Avast applications. https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/1/#idt_2200
If you have Avast Passwords data installed on your device, you should export them to another application or your browser before you install Avast One.

Hi r@vast,

Thank you for your quick reply.

Does this mean that Avast One will not work if I by and install Avast Passwords on my pc instead of integrating it as now into Firefox as an add-on?
On the other hand I thought that for security reasons it was not recommended to save passwords into a browser?

Best regards.

Hi,

Avast Passwords is no longer for sale. Whether you have the paid or free version of either application does not matter, you still won't be able to use the two on the same computer. Please remember that for Avast Passwords to work, you need to have the Avast Antivirus (free or premium) installed. Avast Passwords does not work by itself either.
You do not have to keep your passwords in the browser, but it is probably your best option for exporting your passwords from Avast Passwords. Once in the browser, you can export it to a different password manager and use it with Avast One.
