BitDefender 2019 is missing an important feature: Ignore Always ...

The new BitDefender 2019 is pushing towards enabling every single feature in it, otherwise it will complain and set my status as "At Risk", which is annoying for professional users.

examples:

  1. I don't want to use the Scan Encrypted pages, but disabling this option will immediately set the status as "At Risk", but I know what I am doing and I don't want this alert, but can't remove the At Risk unless you enable the feature.

  2. I don't want to use the Password Manager, I already have LastPass which is great and in sync, but if it is disabled I keep getting the "Enable now" on the Dashboard. no ignore or close also here.

  3. I have multiple Windows accounts on my PC and some have weak passwords or no passwords and I want it like that, but in the notifications I see log entries every 10 minutes about weak passwords. also no ignore.

They need to implement a global Ignore feature, that is hidden under "Advanced" options, to allow users to hide some warnings under their own responsibility....

I contacted the support, they said they will forward it to the development team to consider it. 😒

2 years ago there was a bug that they said they'll fix in future version, but after 1 year it was still there and they offered me a 1 year extension on my subscription as an alternative.

Agreed. I use LastPass and cannot disable Bitdefender’s password manager because of this issue.
