What browser is this?
Are you using any specific settings that could impact the extensions ability to use the IndexedDB browser functionality?

In the telegram channel, a user reported that the extension will not work if the "always browse in private mode" setting is enabled. This could also happen if the "create history" settings is set to never.

I have added a workaround to the nightly release that will just fall back to an in-memory database if it's unable to use the browser database feature.
In that case you will now see the warning "Persistent database not available. Maybe always private browsing is enabled?" in the extension logs. And suggested passwords will not be as good as there is no recommendation data.
