I found the screen shot you reference above and yes,Password Management is On
When I had this problem, I made a new user in the online account area on the my.webrootanywhere.com website, and the new user worked fine. So I just use that login for my toolbar on my PC, iOS SecureWeb, etc. instead.

Hi everyone,
 
I wanted to check in and see if you were still having issues with logging into the Passwords area of the SecureWeb iOS app. Did anybody who wasn't able to log in try ap0state's suggestion to create a new user within the "My Webroot" account? If so, did it work?
 
Please let me know if you are still unable to log in to the app and we can continue to troubleshoot accordingly.
 
Thank You,
Nothing worked for me so I quit trying. My subscription is up in 2 months and I will not be renewing so it wasnt worth the hassle to keep trying stuff.
I set up another user account under Admin. and now I can log in on both iPhone and iPad.

Hi Alex,
 
Sorry to hear that you're having this issue. First of all, I wanted to let you know that I moved your post to an existing thread as it sounds like you are experiencing the same issue as the other users on the thread. I am looking into these issues on a case-by-case basis and I will do some more investigating into your subscription as I compare it to the other cases. In the meantime, can you please let me know if you're able to access the "Passwords" tab in your "My Webroot" account. Please reference my post from the second page of the thread. You can find it here. (It's the very last post on the page that starts with "Hi everybody")
Yes I am able to log into My webroot account and I referred to your post and tried looking into my password but when I tap on the password tab nothing appears but a blank page.i tried using my pc to see if it would be different but stil shows a blank page under the password tab.

Hey Alex,
 
Thanks for the quick update. I'll continue to look into this and let you know as soon as I get a better idea of what exactly is going on. In the meantime, can you try ap0state's suggestion from the previous page to set up a new user from your "My Webroot" account and trying to login using those credenitals. If you are not sure about how to set up a new user, let me know and I'll walk you through the process.
 
Thanks,
 
yes please walk  me thru the steps.

Sure thing!
 
First, please log in to your "My Webroot" account. After you're in, click the username in the top right corner, and click "Manage Users" from the drop down menu. Afterwards, click the "Create a new user" button and fill in the required information. *You must use a different email address and check "yes" for the two boxes*. Once you check them, you will be able to choose the permissions. Select "Admin" for SecureAnywhere and PC Security and "Access" for Mobile Security and BackUp and Sync. For the "Passwords" section check "Passwords." Click "Create User". You will then be sent a temporary password along with a link to create a new password, security code, and question & answer (you can use the same credentials you currently use to log in if you'd like).
 
After doing all this, you should be able to use this new user to not only log in and use the console as before, but to also have access to the "Passwords" tab as well as the ability to log in and use the toolbar.
 
Please let me know if this works and/or if you are confused about any part of creating a new user!
 
Regards,

I see an expired SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus subscription. Please Send me a Private Message with your current subscription information including your keycode and email address so that I can investigate further.
 
We are currently investigating all issues with password management and the toolbar (more info here) and it would be best to Open a Support Ticket.
