• The beta is running smooth here - no noticeable issues (so far)
• Side note, some additional data has been sent via AvBugReport

PS: Sorry, can’t test the “Next century fix”, but I’ll ask my descendants to check it… ;D 8)

In the password leak alert when you select Show Password,
I get the following error message,

I’m obviously online or I wouldn’t be posting this. Thanks

I have the same result as you Bob, I don’t interact with that component often so didn’t notice the Bug.
