Avast Passwords Not Functioning Anymore - Solved

Avast Passwords Avast Passwords for Windows
1

As of last night, my Avast Passwords extension has ceased to work at all. It just says “Hmm… Something’s not right” and claims that I don’t have Avast installed. If I open the Avast app, the “Avast Passwords” tab has been changed to “Password Protection” and is now locked behind a paywall. I have been using this extension for years now and all my passwords are saved onto it which are all now completely locked away from me. I just want a way to access my saved password info so I can back them up for further use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: The issue has been resolved after contacting the Avast Twitter account.
