Password manager is not auto-filling. The Avast Passwords icon is orange and not locked but when I click on it it says it is not enabled. If I then go to add-ons the only option is to disable it. Doing this and then re-enabling does not help, nor does re-booting. I have had password manager for quite a while and this is the first time I have seen this. I am not aware of any recent updates and I have not changed any settings. oowever, my wife was last to use this computer so who knows...
