    My review is just a comment. I've reinstalled roboform several times on a flash drive either because it got corrupted, was lost, or accidentally overwritten. Did not like having to purchase a license again when this happened. Now I'm using LastPass and am totally happy with this free product. No more worrying about losing a flash drive or corrupting one.

    @PJB. Sorry I stand corrected. I still don't understand the concept of a user of lastpass having to log on to a remote server to access passwords stored locally. But I'll accept you explanation of the lastpass product's security features. I'll give it a try. But for now, I prefer roboform.

    Not a bad application. However I feel lastpass (http://lastpass.com) is better, and it is free. Using RoboForm can cost a lot $59.85 if you use it on more than one pc and wish to have it on a usb key. (RoboForm licence + RoboForm Second Licence + RoboForm2Go Licence $59.85)
    Why pay when lastpass does it all for free.

    @sweathog - #2.
    No problems, glad to help. Hope to be constructive in my reviews, and I generally only only review products I use etc. Always good to point alternatives especially if it can save some money.
    I have given RoboForm a go, found it usable, but for me not really cost effective.
    Lastpass does have a good FAQ (https://lastpass.com/faq.php)
    Hope that your testing goes well.

    Hope these give you clarification and answer your concerns.
    https://lastpass.com/features.php
    1. Data is encrypted on local pc.
    2. An encrypted backup copy of your data is stored in your account at Lastpass.com (FAQ gives secuirty assurances (https://lastpass.com/faq.php#aes) - I would not use them if I had doubt's) (RoboForm also stores your data if you use https://online.roboform.com/)
    3. Access your data anywhere! (Just like RoboForm appear to have copied in doing)
    From what I see RoboForm uses a lot of features that lastpass has, but RoboForm charges you for them,
    4. Backup and read from your USB key! Securely backup your data to a USB key (Thus not just online - infact your data on local machine works if offline)
    5. Should the company cease: https://lastpass.com/faq.php#disappear
    6. Bookmarkletts have been around in lastpass for a while, RoboForm recenty.. https://lastpass.com/faq.php#bookmarklet

    Great software, don't know why I didn't use it for as long as I didn't.

    Just to reiterate some previous comments; I only wish it worked with Opera.
