After regular scan with EEK I got this message (see screenshot)
EEK is legitimate app...so this message is confusing. I don't believe that EEK is trying to access my passwords.

EEK was probably scanning a google file and this is an Avast false positive. Other day I downloaded an app that SmartScreen did not think was safe. I ran a hash app to get that file's sha256, SmartScreen blocked the hash reader saying it was trying to open that downloaded app. Just guessing something similar happened to you.
