Is there an upgrade to Password Manager - 3.2.41?
I guess that's the latest one....
Hi BluesBandit

 

Welcome the Community Forums.

 

May I ask as to why you are asking as to whether there is a newer version of the Password Manager Extension? v3.2.41 is certainly the latest but there are newer versions currently in the pipeline that will be picked and reviewed by the beta testers before they are released to the wider Community & users in general.

 

Are you experiencing difficulties either installing the Extension or with access to the Password Manager? If so then pelase post back with more details and we will do what we can to assist.

No Baldrick, no difficulty in the installation.  It's just that I received a Chrome extension notification that there was a new version of WR Password Manager.  Didn't know if it was legit or not?  I've been with Webroot since 2006, and I still remember when they would send an email when there was something new, or an upgrade was available.  I just didn't know something new was here.



BTW Baldrick, I have WSA, and was wondering if you've heard if the look of it (or any of the other WR products) are in for a visual facelift? I also remember when WR would updrade not only the internal capabilities of it's products, but would also refresh their outward looks.  There's certainly nothing unpleasant to the current look of WSA, but sometimes a new look, and how you navigate around the module itself, seems to keep one interested with that "what are they going to do next?" attitude.  Internal efficiency upgrades are essential, but visuals are attrative too!  Thanks....

Ah ha, another long time fan I see...good to know. :D

 

Yes, they did use to email out but I suspect that as the customer base has expanded it is something that has either fallen by the way side or been deliberately ditched as just to onerous.

 

In terms of the UI and any changes...you make a good point and it is true that there have been some 'criticisms' or views expressed that the UI looks dated but then again I believe that it has been written with a view to keeping the whole installer/download below the 1MB level...and how many mainline anto malware apps can match that? 

 

Having said that perhaps there is a way to accomodate a change but if you check in the Features Exchange you will see that there have been a number of such requests of which this is one:

 

https://community.webroot.com/t5/Ideas-Exchange/improve-interface/idi-p/179107

 

and the status of that is:

 

Status: Reviewed

We currently have no plans to change the UI but ideas are always taken into consideration.

 

But that does not mean to say that if we keep on plugging away and requesting a change it won't happen...so perhaps you would start a further Request with perhaps some suggestions as to what changes might be considered and then we could comment & kudo to support that if so minded?

Also all the code is done in Raw C code even the UI so it would be allot of work to redo. Maybe in time...........?

Tiny Local App

Jaroch explained that all the SecureAnywhere products are exactly the same file, with different features turned on based on which license key you use. Where most security suite installers weigh in anywhere from 60MB to well over 200MB, SecureAnywhere would fit on a floppy disk, so there's no reason to create separate versions.Jaroch's team totally built the product from the ground up using raw C code. There are no embedded bitmaps, no visual tool libraries, no buttons. Every element of the user interface is rendered as needed."If you snap a screenshot of our product and save it as a bitmap, the screenshot will be bigger than the product itself," Jaroch said. Morris added that this minuscule local client leaves little "surface area" exposed to attack by malware.
