Suddenly I can’t see my passwords anymore. Also the button “Passwords” is now “Password Protection” and only shows me that the browser extension is installed.
Try this: In tbe browser extension, click lock Avast Passwords. Then click to unlock.
But where is AVAST Passwords in the Windows application now?
It should resuscitate after you do what I said in the browser extension. It worked for me…
Hmm its not working…
Did you install Avast without the Passwords component, and only later decided to add it? I think that’s why it happened to me.
If nothing works, do a clean installation…
No. I had to reset my computer and reinstall Avast. Quite normal with all standard settings. Including Avast Passwords.
I’m using Avast Premium Security 20.3.2405 (Build 20.3.5200.561) UI 1.0.509 and Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.
As you can see, there is no Passwords anymore. Just that … browser feature (password protection… ist not the old Passwords feature) on the top left.
Just like what happened to me. Idk, after I fresh install Avast, it was working, I created a master password. Then I used the browser extension to lock it and unlock it again using the master password, it never disappeared again.
Password Protection is not the same as Passwords
This is Password Protection:

This is Passwords

Have you looked under Menu ???

Hello, there were implemented these changes:
if user never use passwords (PasswordsInVault = 0) then hide passwords manager and position use for Passwords protection
if user use passwords hide password guardian tab and remove banner from logins tab
if user bought password guardian (there is active valid license for Password Manager), keep it as it is
Didn’t show even with avast password installed. I’ve tried to find why but it seem random.
What do you mean by random?
Avast password can show for one windows user and not the other, disapear after a reboot for every user,… It seem to work now (after reinstalling avast 3 times and using the repare option multiples times). Noting I tried to fix it had a real effect and I don’t know what I did to fix it.
Glad to hear it’s fixed.
I had the same problem. A fix for me was to download an old version as offline installer and then turn off the internet. Then install Avast and set the application to not update automatically. Then turn on the Internet again and log into Avast and set up Avast Passwords. When everything is ready, restart your PC. Install the latest updates and then everything has worked for me so far. I hope I could help.
