Does this now or will it support sharing groups of passwords?
Tomáš Hellebrand
@nathanpalmer You can share (and sync) the whole account. But not just some of your passwords.
Ryan Minnick
@maxence_dalmais @nathanpalmer 1Password allows for the creation of shared "vaults" that can contain specific passwords (and permissions) on those passwords. Just FYI.
Maxence Dalmais
@ryanminnick @nathanpalmer thanks for the tips. The problem with sharing password, is that you need to change it when your trainee or any body leave your company.

This kind of software _needs_ to be open-sourced. These days you have to be crazy to use a closed solution for password management.

This app is awesome but creating an avast account and synchronizing it on multiple devices is a real pain...
Tomáš Hellebrand
@gregcha Thanks for the feedback. Could you share some more details about your experience with me at hellebrand@avast.com, please?
Michael Wakefield
@gregcha I agree. I don't trust external sources to protect my data. The only one I trust so far is Apple's iCloud. Is Avast going to support syncing the vault data to iCloud? 1Password does and that is why I still use it. 1Password synced with Dropbox (and still does) but even they have been hacked. No, I will stick to apps that sync with iCloud - Thank You Apple

@itsnblackburn How do you mean it? Avast Password is for iOS, Android and PC as well.
Tomáš Hellebrand
@itsnblackburn Yes, for Windows it is still part of the "big" Avast program. However, on other platforms it is standalone.

Design looks clean and simple - reminds me of KakaoTalk's Mac app!

If this is free, what's the catch?
Tomáš Hellebrand
@daraghkan There is no catch. We are planning some cool premium (paid) functions in the future. But the core functionality (including synchronization with other devices) will always be for free.

Looks great but I have a few Q's 1. How is this better than LastPass? How do you compare? Other than it being free. 2. Does it support import from LastPass? 3. Does it support form filling like CC / Other info? P.S. It seems like I'm late with my queries, but I just came across it now. So yeah!
Tomáš Hellebrand
@irazasyed Hi. This is just first (and beta) version so we can't compete with features with other solutions that are in development for several years. But we will soon, believe me. Today, we released new beta version that can import passwords from LastPass (and Dashlane). I am looking forward to your feedback! Thanks.
Irfaq Syed ⚡️
@hellishpm Hey, Thanks for the response. That makes sense! I'll give this a try and let you know my feedback soon. Glad to see LastPass support added already. Thanks!
Ryan Minnick
I would recommend detailing security/encryption implemented on your product site. Anyone that realizes they should be using a password manager should also be looking for an understanding on how that information is secured.

Do you have for Windows also ? Just password for windows
Tomáš Hellebrand
@vikasgupta10 Currently, Avast Passwords is a part of free Avast Antivirus solution.

@hellishpm - Great product, tried it and now removed it. I'm very certain that I'll use it again soon. The reason for my removal is the lack of "Import" options from other password managers. I'm using "Dashlane" -- it's my favorite. If you could add a better option to import passwords (at least as CSV files).It will be great for many of the users. Keep up your great work.
Arun Pattnaik
@ramkumarhq @hellishpm +1 for Dashlane. Their password changer works like magic!
Pietz Prove
@arunpattnaik @ramkumarhq @hellishpm i like Dashlane as well but i also really hate subscriptions. im at a point were i accept subscriptions for "services" but Dashlane is an off the shelf software im not willing to subscribe to. im still in the 1password boat and i have no reason to switch as of right now. i do like competition. go avast.
Ram
@gopietz @arunpattnaik @hellishpm -- Yeah true, they have a dashlane premium to earn money...but even their free dashlane service is much better than others..:) I love how it pops out and fills the password.. I noticed avast is also similar to dashlane atleast in filling up, I'm definitely moving to avast password manager once they include a better import options... NOTE TO AVAST: PLEASE ADD "IMPORT PASSWORD" FROM OTHER PASSWORD MANAGER, as most of them will be happy to move to avast now...good luck
Paul Shustak
@ramkumarhq @hellishpm I'm a Dashlane user also. Its pretty great but the $40/year always felt a little extortionary. Switching costs are so high in this category I bet they see very little churn.
Pietz Prove
@ramkumarhq @hellishpm any specific features you get with Dashlane but not with 1Password? just curious, filling out passwords is essentially at 1passwords core.

I'm missing the iCloud KeyChain on the iPhone and I love free solutions. Thanks you so much!!! Is it possible to import from iCloud to Avast?
Tomáš Hellebrand
@hungryforolives Unfortunately not. KeyChain does not provide such functionality. You can import from 1Password or Chrome at this moment.
Tomáš Hellebrand
Avast Passwords is now available in the Mac App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/app/ava...
Tomáš Hellebrand
Today, we released new beta version with import from LastPass and Dashlane.
Tom
How does this compare to apps like Enpass or 1Password in terms of usability, price, privacy and security?
Tomáš Hellebrand
@tomflemming Avast Passwords is free for all of your devices (including iOS, Android and PC). Privacy and security is in Avast DNA ;)
Hugo Müller-Downing
@tomflemming Do you plan on monetising it in some way?
Tomáš Hellebrand
@hugojmd Yes, we are planning some cool premium functions in the future.
Chad Whitaker
@praneethrv I'm curious why 1Password has rubbed you the wrong way?
Tom
Great to see competition in this area.

I love this product
