False Leak Warning

Avast Passwords Avast Passwords for Windows
1

Hello,

Avast Passwords is telling me my Kickstarter password is leaked even though I have successfully changed it 5 times today already. On top of that it’s saying the leak occurred 5 years ago (12 Feb 2014), even after changing it. This is obviously complete rubbish, but having the false warning constantly showing up is very annoying and there’s no way to get rid of it.

I’ve tried using 2 different machines to make the changes, and doing it manually etc, but it always flags it as leaked straight away again.

Hi Cawl,

Can I ask you if you have edited the login in Avast Passwords after you changed it on the Kickstarter website? Please see the attached image for a screenshot of the edit button on the alert that I am referring to. The application should clear the warning after the login has been edited in this way.

Sorry for getting back so late. That has fixed the problem, thanks for the help!
