I don't know why it thinks you have a password set if you don't, but I've added a password reset link to the password box on the options page. It will open a new tab with a button labeled Click here to reset!. Click that and it should remove the password prompt in the future.

Let me know if this fixes it for you.

Thanks, the reset sure helps to remove the Password. But if i try to ever set a password, the main issue still persists.
This solution will mean, i don't get to password protect my 2FA, while others can.
Thanks once again, but i still wish to password protect it.

@Paulex-Git I'm not sure how to help with that if it's still not working. When the password is set, it stores the password's hash. When you try to unlock the extension, it checks if the hashes match. If they do, it lets you in; if they don't it displays "wrong password".

This same thing happens when you have no password set. (It compares the stored hash of "" to the hash of the password, "")

If you set a password, and enter the exact same password when unlocking it, the hashes should be the exact same, and it should let you in. This means that there is either a problem with creating the hashes (which I haven't been able to reproduce so far), or you aren't entering the same password both times.

I hate to ask this, but are you 100% certain that you didn't accidentally mistype your password?

I sure enter same password each time, just not working.
I am currently using it without password though.
