@mstarodub What happens when you attempt to check the 'enable' checkbox?
@erayd It does nothing / isn't clickable.
If there's any additional informaion required, please tell me the names of the relevant command outputs
/ logfiles, so that I can post them.
@mstarodub Are you able to remove the manually-installed extension, and install it from the chrome store instead? Does that work?
Also try to remove the policy file, its location depends on what you chose in ./install.sh
, but this is the file - see where it got added and remove it.
Policy is there to automatically install the extension for you from Chrome Webstore, if you don't want auto-updates and want to install extension manually, you don't need policy anyway.
removed the entire folder, but weirdly, it's still there and I can't disable or remove it.
Double check that you found all locations where chrome-policy.json
was installed, the message "extension is managed and cannot be removed" can only mean that the policy is active.
Thank you for your help. I made sure I deleted every file related to browserpass, and it worked after a reinstall. It seems like the issue was in installing the extension seperately from the releases page prior to installing the host application.
