Same for me. Looks like a system issue on the backend.

I am able to reproduce the same issue. The backend services teams are investigating. I will post an update when I have more information.

Re: Password vault unable to open

Same issue on two different Windows 10 computers in Chrome and Firefox, and in the Norton Password App on an Android Samsung phone.

On the computers, the tab opens, circle spins and tab closes.  I'm not getting the usual request has been sent to your device message either.

I am also unable to open the vault from within the Norton App on the computers.

On the phone, I can open a local copy using fingerprint access, but unable to access the vault from within the Chrome browser.

This thread was opened almost FIVE hours ago.  Norton's status page needs to be updated to show there is an issue with the Password Manager, else I have to wonder what other Norton services are failing to provide protection?

same here, glad to see it's not my laptop. I almost broke my fingers going back and forth with the suggestions online.

Re: Password vault unable to open

This is odd-might be due to them working on the backend. My Norton 360-alot of white space...missing a few options..as I assume they work on the vault issue..

Issues with the Password unlock requests not being sent to my Samsung Android in a timely manner in the UK. 

For example as of Now requests from 09:35 are hitting my mobile & erroring as they've expired.

Re: Password vault unable to open

It's not and has been a problem for several weeks for me. Sometimes opens, more often than not it doesn't. I log in and it just buffers. Nothing wrong with my internet speed or anything like that. I have no issues with any other programs using my wi-fi, only Norton. Getting to the point of frustration that I am likely to consider alternatives before my next renewal date. Since I see so many comments with the same problem, it seems to be on the service provider's side...i.e., Norton.

Re: Password vault unable to open

@Gary1888, this thread and the problems that occurred yesterday were very specific to a backend issue. That issue has been resolved and people are reporting success.

For your problem are you using a mobile app to open the vault or the browser extension?

Re: Password vault unable to open

I cannot open password manager, most of the time. I click on it in the taskbar, screen flashes and that's it. I logged onto my Norton account and clicked on open vault today, and this has worked sometimes in the past. However today the vault opens but when I clicked on a site to open nothing happens. I'm using Windows 10 and Edge.

Still not working in Windows, works on iPad.

Re: Password vault unable to open

I use the browser extension. Sometimes it opens. More often than not it just buffers. I did recently add the ability to open it with a message sent to my phone and when that happens, it opens. Only problem with that is I don't know what causes the program to send the request to my phone. Sometimes it does and others it doesn't. I haven't yet made the connection mentally to what I might being doing different from one log-in to the next that would cause it to request the o.k. from the message sent to my mobile.

Re: Password vault unable to open

I've had this issue off-and-on for a few weeks now. Using Chrome on Windows 10. When I try to open the Vault, the password window opens and closes before I can access it. However, I have found a way (although somewhat inconvenient) to get it to work. After opening a Chrome window, I click the Norton Password Manager icon on the toolbar. I click on the 'Sign out' link at the bottom of the dropdown. Then I click the Norton Password Manager icon again and click the 'Open Vault' button which takes me to Norton where I enter my email and password. Then the Vault password window opens and I can enter my password. From then on everything works as it should.

Re: Password vault unable to open

Norton Password Manger Vault will not open in tab. When I click on Icon and then on Vault, the tab flicks on and then disappears. I'm using an Acer Chromebook. It worked fine up until 2 weeks ago. Now, tab flashes and goes away. 

Just tried signing completely out of Manager and signing back in. No change. Can access toolbar icon to sign into particular sites but cannot access the full vault.

Re: Password vault unable to open

Do you by chance have VPN enabled?  PW Mgr would not work for me this evening and I turned off VPN and could then sign on through Chrome.  For some reason when Norton updates the Extensions or perhaps an update it affects PW Mgr.  It is working for me now.

Re: Password vault unable to open

1. I tried the fixes recommended by the support page and it did not work.  I think that I found a solution.

2. I opened the Norton sign-in page in Edge, Windows 10 and selected the Password Manager icon next to the address bar.  I have not tested this procedure with other browsers.

3. I clicked on "Sign out" in the lower right corner of the drop-down menu.

4. I then clicked on the Password Manager icon again and the "Norton Password Manager" page opened.

5. I clicked on "Next" button on the "Norton Password Manager" page and the Norton Account, Sign-in page reopens.

6. I clicked on the "Continue" button and entered my Norton account, User ID and log-in password.

7. The "Unlock your vault" page opens.

8. I clicked on the checkbox, "Take me to vault" below the password window and when I entered my vault password, Voila!, my Identity safe opened.  

This is just a guess, but sometimes being logged in the Identity Safe browser extension, prevents the synchronization of the cloud vault.  

An alternate possibility is that it is just the evil-doers, attempting to create chaos.

SEC8WES:

It still isn't working edge browser. 

Please explain...what feature/s is not working. 
Can you Sign In to your Norton account? 
Can you use your vault password to access your vault credentials? 

Please create new Edge profile (default settings) and only install Norton Password Manager v7.5.2.62 from Chrome store, as test.

btw ~ Norton Password Manager v7.5.1.48 from Microsoft store ... works, for me.

Re: Password vault unable to open

I think I may have found a solution, until Norton installs a real fix. I turn off VPN, open vault, then turn VPN on. Has worked each time.

Re: Password vault unable to open

Yep -- Turn off VPN. Open Password Manager Vault & sign in. Then turn VPN back on. That worked for me. The Norton "wonder whiz kids" have messed up Password Manager again. Last month, I spoke with a very helpful and polite Norton employee, in India, who corrected this problem for me. He had to uninstall then re-install Norton, with the latest upgrade that I ALREADY had!
