F-secure critical error. asks to restart.
This is becoming a rather annoying recurring error. Every 5 minutes (or 2 hours if I chose so) the F-secure app asks to restart because of a critical error. The critical error suggests there is a conflict with another program, but the program listed is F-secure. So is the antivirus fighting itself? I've tried restarts.…

Passkeys
I have read a conversation where the F-secure person showed F-secure dont realise they HAVE TO implement storage of passkeys in their pw manager.

Inter i5 Mac - Sequoia 15.4 - Libre Office very bad perfomance
Hi, It seems that F-Secure Total v. 25.3 (64654) on Mac is totally ruining performance for Libre Office v. 25.2.2.2. When I temporarily disable scanning on Total, performance is ok. When scanning is back performance degrades heavily: e.g. selecting text box in Impress takes 3..4 secods, same for simply changing the slide…

Issues with the password vault storing duplicates, not updating password histories correctly, etc.

Improve Password Vault's discoverability on Android
What: After Password Vault was integrated into the main F-Secure app, its usability went down because you can't access it quickly enough anymore.
