Step 2. Create association of Moon Software Password Agent with PWA files

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PWA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The PWA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PWA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PWA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PWA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PWA file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PWA file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PWA files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PWA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PWA to close. However, some background programs may block the PWA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
