Update - 1/13/25:
The extension does not work for me for more than 3 months on Edge. I have chcecked evertying to fix it but still no go. Someone noticed correctly why the Edge Extenion is not being updated? Seems that many usewrs have the same issues - "passwords" are not filling up.
Support/Developers !!!! Please take some action !!!
I have been using True Key for serveral years now and I am happy but if this will not work how can I be happy?
TrueKey here on Microsoft hasn't been updated since May 12, 2022 (v4.3.1.9339). TrueKey on Firefox was updated yesterday (Jan 7, 2025) to v5.0.0.263. TrueKey on Chrome Webstore was updated Aug 23, 2024 (v5.0.0.227). Why are these so out of sync???
I've had True Key for several years now and McAfee since 2000. I think it's time to make a change. Mc's services work about 75% of the time and have gone from, 15$ to 95$, which was billed last year. This year, 2025, McAfee wants to bill me $211.00 for the 2025 year. They also want to charge more for add-ons that should be included.
As for True Key, it works as it should perhaps 50% of the time. TK really stinks. Every time McAfee updates its software, TK and other functions need to be manually tweaked, to get them to reasonably function as intended.
