Webroot blocks using my Last Pass to log me in?
I've been using both Webroot and Last Pass and was working great. Since I just renewed my Webroot account (upgraded from an outdated verison too), everytime I try to login with Last Pass it gives me error codes.
Hello ginajo, welcome to the Community!
I am actually surprised that WSA Password Manager and LastPass were both working at the same time previously, you see the WSA PM IS a re-branded version OF LastPass. Essentially, you were running the same program twice, which normally does not work very well.
There really is no reason to use both, and as you have seen, both normally will not work together as they are the same thing. I would choose which one to keep active and remove the other. Since they are the same, you should be able to easily export the data from one and import it into the other to combine the password lists. (Remember to back up both before trying to import though, just in case.)

Will Webroot log me in on my Ipad and phone like my Last Pass will? I'm just hesitant to delete it since I've paid for it until September of next year and really happy with it.
I personally feel that the mobile version of WSA is a little bit clunky to be honest. You have to download and use the Secure Web Browser, and log in through it. The actual use of it is a bit odd. I am not sure how the LastPass iOS version works.
What you can do for the iOS devices is, as I said before, combine your password lists. That way you can try using both versions on the iOS devices and see which you like. Unlike the Windows versions, I think you will probably not have the problems with having both on the device at the same time. AGAIN: backup BOTH lists before trying to combine them.
Give it a try and let us know how it goes, that will give me more info for future replies 🙂

So are you saying that I should try to Import my Last Pass into Webroot, and have both on my computer?
Last Pass is basically the same for IOS devices. You have to log in through their site. But really helps out for those times when I'm out of town.

Not quite what I meant, sorry :)
1) I would combine both password sets so that they are the same, and then keep then synced after that.
2) On the Computer.. I would use one or the other, but not both. One of the two will probably have to be removed.
3) On the iOS devices, you probably will be able to keep both versions, and test them both to see which one you prefer. I have not used LastPass mobile at all, but as I noted I do have issues with WSA's implentation of it for mobile devices. Just a bit clunky and not easy to use.
