BECAUSE THE MASTER PASSWORD IS ON, NONE OF MY PASSWORDS ARE SAVING AND I CANNOT REMOVE THE MASTER PASSWORD EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT IT WAS WHEN IT WAS ACTIVE. IT WILL NOT RESPOND TO REMOVE MASTER PASSWORD EVEN AFTER I ENTER THE PASSWORD ON FILE. I WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE IT SO THAT MY MAIL AND OTHER THINGS STORE MY PASSWORDS AND OPEN MORE EASILY.. WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO MAKE THE MASTER PASSWORD GO AWAY - IT WASN'T SAVING MY PASSWORDS AT ANY POINT SO THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING IT.

If you remove the master password.... your passwords will be deleted, though you will be able to save passwords.

You lose the stored passwords if you reset the Master Password because you have forgotten it.

You normally remove the master password by changing the current MP to an empty string.

Can you View the passwords in the Password Manager?
