Avast Password Manager needs Vault password for EVERY login

Avast Passwords Avast Passwords for Windows

A week ago, I could open my Avast Password Manager vault and it would recommend logins and autofill. Now, every time I try to login to a website, APM demands the vault password. This is very annoying.and negates the purpose of the App. I’ll be forced to revert to PassWord Safe, as at least it is reliable.

As long as you dont close your browser the vault should stay open and auto fill. as soon as you close your browser you will need to log into the vault again each time you open the browser.
not great i know but looks like this is what we have to put up with now.

There are settings that saying like “Ask Valut password every time before filling forms” and “Keep Valut open for 7 days”. You may have (wrongly) enabled former one. Latter one may be fitted for your purpose.

Good to hear that, and thanks for the screenshot. Mine is in Japanese so I can’t share screenshots and no way to know English setting strings :slight_smile:
