I have the latest version of Avast Internet Security on Windows 7, which I previously removed and reinstalled after a hardware change and backing up the settings and exporting Bookmarks and Passwords to a csv file.
After all of that and the reinstallation of the software, I was able to get most everything back up and running correctly, EXCEPT for ONE MAIN IMPORTANT THING! :‘( MY Passwords, as far as I can tell there isn’t a mechanism available to restore the passwords! :’( The more I use this Software, the more discouraged I become!
avast is already working on the option to import from a CSV file.
Yes there is a way to recover the passwords, or in your case perhaps I should say was.
It is called synchronization.
If you had that enabled, you can easily restore the passwords.
I finally got them all back in using the create password tool and by copying, paste, cut, paste, cut, cut, paste, cut, cut paste, cut, cut, paste. I did that with every password, it took me a couple of hours, but I got it.
Thanks for your reply, just what would I be synchronizing with, because my problem was that my origonal installation wasn’t communicating with the cloud, and Support told me I had to un-install and reinstall. Thank God that I made a backup of every thing. I’m communicating with the Avast Cloud now as my PC shows up online and is reporting the correct hardware and condition of my shields. How can I prevent this from happening again? Thanks!
