Anyone had this? With the Win 10 2004 update?

[Hazzy B]

I have office 2007 installed, on this pc along with chrome and edge as the main browsers 

 

When I logged in after the update finished the passwords had all vanished. So we're unable to check social media and the emails. So yesterday my boss found the email passwords and I logged into social media. And all was working great yesterday.

 

Now today, logged in, and they have vanished again. Boss, has to come in to find the passwords avain. Not happy as was working from home today.

 

Was thinking has the update corrupted the password file? As a previous update made my personal laptop unusable, as i got the bitlocker prompt and I got the laptop 2nd hand from a pawn shop.

How did passwords go missing? They're stored in the linked Google account on Chrome, and the linked Microsoft account on Edge. They shouldn't be able to go missing, or do you not log in? If that's the case I'd recommend a real password manager of some sort (dashlane, lastpass, bitwarden, the list goes on) so file corruption/file removal/whatever is happening doesn't cause everything to grind to a halt while you wait for your boss to come in.

Google is just as much of a "real password manager" as the ones you mentioned.

 

I recommend Keepass instead.

I've had that Windows version for a few hours now and, thankfully, haven't had any issues related to passwords.

 

Hope it can be sorted, OP.

Those password managers have functions for use in an enterprise setting. Access control, groups with access to the shared logins (e.g. social media team), built-in cloud sync, etc.

 

Keepass is great, but you can't do those things easily with Keepass, not with the average employee's tech savvy, and they're all but necessary if you want to use a password manager in a company.

We use a password manager in our company and it's Keepass.
We don't have the need for any of the features you mentioned.

I have had no issues at all with passwords since my workstation updated to 2004 last week.  I use Password Safe to manage passwords as it has been ported to Android OS so I can use it on both my phone and tablet as well.
