I am unable to get TextExpander to work on my macintosh due to secure input being enabled by WebRoot. 
 
Can I not white list this application in some way on the mac? A previous https:///t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Complete/Text-Expander-software-Breevy-PhraseExpress-limitations/td-p/54706 on the forum was specifically related to Windows version of the software, so any help for this issue with mac users?

Hi jvreeland,
 
I apologize for the trouble, this is a known issue that our development team is working on. You can read more about the issue and the temporary workaround here (select "yes" if it asks you if you cannot use Secure Input). Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
That got it working, but need to update that FAQ to show the option to disable (uncheck) is now titled 'Secure Keyboard Entry Mode'

Thanks for the workaround!
