Edit: The issue was solved after I installed the password protection component, disabled it, and uninstalled it again. (basically turning it on and off)
Hello,
I am on Avast Premier Security version 20.2.2401 - build 20.2.5130.571 (the latest update).
The new “Browser Password Protection” feature looks disabled on the settings UI and I can’t even enable it.
But somehow the feature is turned on in the background and now my backup software can’t backup my password files (logins.json) while Avast shields are enabled.
I would try turning it on and off to fix that but I can’t even turn it on as the button doesn’t do anything.
I tried repairing Avast and installing chrome to fix it.
Please fix the issue with an update.
Small note: I have almost all the components disabled. (which is an awesome feature that makes Avast the best AV and makes it worth purchasing)
Only File Shield and Behavior Shield is enabled.
i tried uninstall this avast “password protection” on “troubleshooting” / “add/modify components” then after i restart the pc it still there and when i click the “add/modify components” again to see what are the components installed the “password protection” is un ticked means i already uninstalled but the weird part is when i go to privacy “passwords” and “password protection” is still on the list even tho i already uninstall them thru "add/modify components
