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.

@sweathog - #1
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.

Been using it for years, and it just keeps getting better. The goodsync websync agent is a welcome, and free, upgrade.

I have a lot of accounts, and a lot of web forms to fill in with personal data, and I'd be lost without RoboForm. RoboForm, even the USB and U3 versions (which are amazing) is as secure as you want it to be.

If it's exportable, it's insecure? Eh? Then I guess KeePass Password Safe is insecure.

That argument makes no sense. If you don't want to export your data, don't. It stays secure. If someone else has access to your data and has the ability to export it, then it wasn't secure to begin with. If it's encrypted, no one can do anything useful with it, including export it.

If you're going to tell me that the data becomes less secure once you export it, then, ummm, yeah, but that's beside the point. That doesn't make a password manager that can export data "insecure", it just gives you the choice of what to do with your friggin' data!

Hey, I can copy-and-paste from RoboForm. I guess it's insecure! They should disable copying! I can also print data in RoboForm. They should disable printing! I can display RoboForm data on the screen! That's insecure!

By nature I'm a complainer and I'm sure I have some, though I can't think of them now.
RoboForm is the most complete password manager I've found. There are several competitors and some are even freeware but they don't yet surpass Robo and it's ease of use.

Version 10 is taking forever though. :)

Cheers

I hold RoboForm in the highest regard. It has never failed to keep my info safe nor failed to get me logged in to sites I've stored in it.

A recurring complaint I see is thata there is no way to export the info from RoboForm. Good. If it is exportable, it is not secure.

Nothing else comes close to what Roboform does.

Did "Crew9Boss" actually mean to say that being able to import from other password apps is an "insignificant operation"? I can't speak for anyone else, but I currently use KeePass Password Safe, and I have exactly 889 ID/password entries there. RoboForm provides no way to import those entries. Maybe "Crew9Boss" would like to come over and manually add each one of those 889 entries into RoboForm for me.

Stupidity, indeed.

Hi starved, I'm also tired of roboform's installing so many add-ins to my IE, I was interested in the software called "IE Assist" you refered, does it really support checkbox and radio in just one click?

I had used Roboform for years, it was once really a good software help me filling online forms, but, in THESE 10 YEARS Roboform did no SUPPORT to RADIO and CHECKBOX, and seems Roboform would NEVER add these features! So I uninstalled RoboForm and changed my form filler to IE Assist, IE Assist make a full support to RADIO and CHECKBOX, all things were wrapped in just on click which IE Assist called "Pick", It's really cool!

Slow my IE and Windows, write dozens of spam to my registry, generate spam information in my c:/, I've never seen a software as ugly as RoboForm before, I unistalled it and would never reinstall, I prefer a new software called IE Assist who was no install, no registry, no add-in(BHO), and the main UI looks like CMFD, the form filling mode UI looks like HUD! Really very cool!

Seems like there is always someone who cannot find anything glaring wrong about a product so they pick some insignificant operation the product can't do and make a federal case about it! I have used Roboform ever since it was introduced and cannot think of a single bad experience with it. BTW, I have learned to keep important files backed up, just in case. Roboform or any other program shouldn't take the fall for sheer stupidity!

I might agree with some of the more positive reviews below once they add an import/export feature. I understand that RoboForm can't import in a simple ID/password type of format (because it handles fields of arbitrary name), but the process could be semi-automated, at least. I've seen it done; there is a way, they just don't want to bother. So if you use another product and have a slew of entries there, you're out of luck.

To my knowledge, Roboform can only export to html. Click on "Print List" and then on "Save".

It's great. Im using it since 5 years now. Never had to pay for an upgrade:-)

Your data is hostage to RoboForm once you begin using it. And if you have tons of data already in another application, there's no easy way to import it into RoboForm.

This version returned full functionality when using MSN Explorer. I lost the right-click>fill capability last December. I wrote support and they said that RoboForm wasn't configured to work in MSN Explorer.

Well, now it does and I am happy with it :)

risk: You can export all passcards and information to firefox or internet explorer bookmarks/favorites. You can also save your data into a CSV or print it in HTML format. Your data is in no way confined to roboform.

This program is the best at what it does. Other's try to imitate it by incorporating similar, although inferior, functionality into other programs or writing completely new ones, but none hold a candle to what RF can do. 5/5

Agree. This is a terrific program, however, it holds your data hostage. There is no way to export your data except by printing it.

I refuse to commit to one app to store all my critical data, data that is constantly being updated, knowing that in the future there's no chance that I can migrate this data to something else. This is in case something better is available or if the product is no longer being developed.

So I give it 3 out of 5 only because for me, it is not usable.

This is by far the best program at what it does. Nothing else even comes close or works as well. I wish opera would open up so that I could switch, but opera chooses to remain closed to 3rd parties and not allow any outside functionality.

I only have one request of roboform and that is to allow the encryption or masking of filenames of each passcard/Safenote so that the content of each is not known if someone obtains my files. This would be very handy.

This app is single handedly the most useful application I have. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont utilize this application. It supports everything I want minus like 2 minor exceptions (hidden fields and encrypted file names where the actual passcard isnt used in the file name itself). I just wish opera would open up support so roboform could support it. Other than that, 5/5

Yes, Roboform cannot be beat by any program currently on the market. It is the best program, bar none. That being said I still use Opera as a secondary browser, mainly to surf (cough,cough) umm, the adult sites, lol. Sad but true.

Opera is a thousand times better than IE7 or FF in my opinion, but I do use IE7 99% of the time due to it being the only browser that displays every webpage right everytime. I also have a very fast comp, so IE7 is very fast to me regardless. Firefox is worthless to me, as alot of webpages I go to dont even display right in it. In reality though, I would switch to Opera in a heartbeat if it was compatible with RoboForm.

It sucks that that one shortcoming of Opera (no Roboform compatibility) is holding it back from being the best browser ever created.

ssb, you are wrong about the plugin API. The plugin API you mention is for things such as Flash and Shockwave and Adobe Acrobat file viewing. This was clarified by a post to the opera forums the day I saw that listed in the version history. It is not a means of "extending" the browser. So yes, this is a shortcoming on opera's part and it is one I will continue to hold against them. You should not have to jump through 20 different hoops to get a program to work in a browser. Either the API's exist (which the developers have ADMITTED DOESNT EXIST) or opera is just dragging their feet and trying to "protect the user from themselves". I am sure google would have found a way to make the plugin API work for opera so they could have their toolbar inside the browser. The fact of the matter is that the plugin system is not designed for the standard user extension or addon. Its designed for just that, a PLUGIN. Plugins dont interact with the browser, they extend its viewing capability.

This program is the sole reason I dont use opera. Opera has dragged their feet on providing an api to allow ANY third party program to tie into it. So yes, it is opera's fault, and yes, I will continue to hold it against them.

5/5
 
ssb Dec 2, 2007 6.9.85

The truth is that AIRoboform (or Google toolbar and other extensions) don't have Opera compatible versions. However we souldn't blame Opera for that.

Opera supports extensions coded using Netscape API; Actually it was the first browser besides Netscape, which supported this API.
Opera also supports extensions coded using its own low level API. (for example) Afterall how do you think Adobe (Macromedia) wrote Flash plugin for Opera?

I can list some other methods of extending Opera, if you like. What is really missing is a Javascript extension API like the one built in Firefox, although that's not necessarily bad.
Firefox extensions are known to be slow, memory and cpu consuming hogs. However people like that kind of programming interfaces, because it's easy to develop with. I bet that 99% of FF extensions would never existed if their authors had to code them in C++.

So please stop blaming Opera. Developers don't write extensions for it just for two reasons...

1. Opera has a small market share

2. Most extension developers don't know low level programming or simply prefer an easy (but bloated) API language, such as JS.

PS: I'm not an Opera_FanBoy; In fact I prefer IE7 (because Opera has too many unfixed bugs, and FF too many mem leaks).

Amazing program. Been using it for years. It's the main reason I don't use Opera, besides the fact that it doesn't support 3rd party plugins generally. It might be fast, but it doesn't do what I want it to do. The Wand? Sure. Try Roboform and then write your review.

Too bad the wand is so subpar that one cannot really consider it a feature. Heck, even IE's built-in password management feature works better than Opera's. If you change a password in opera, you get a new login (not an updated password for the existing listing) listed for that page requiring you delete the old one manually. In IE, its updated.

Roboform takes this to a whole new level. Roboform does so much more than the wand or any other similar utility can do at this current point. Dont blame roboform for opera's shortcomings. If opera chose to open its browser to third parties, we would have seen roboform supporting opera a long while ago. But at this time, we cannot.

5/5. Best utility for a web browser ever.

Opera, the best browser-- yeah right: closed-end, can't open all web sites that other browsers can...

Back on topic-- this is a can't do without software in spite of being payware-- enuff said.

Now, if they could just add some auto or background online backup / storage... ditto for network sync for the multiple licenses one has...

RoboForm is the only reason I do not use Opera. I would actually prefer to use Opera over Firefox, but since they refuse to allow 3rd party addons, I have no choice. I cannot use a browser which doesn't support RoboForm. TheWand or whatever the crappy Opera password manager is called is absolutely useless to me. I'm not going to transfer several hundred logins/passwords into TheWand and be locked into a single browser. That's simply out of the question. Maybe the Opera developers will pull their heads out of their a$$es one day, but until then I'm sticking with IE/Firefox + RoboForm.

Its too bad that opera doesnt support roboform (or any other 3rd party code), I would really like to use it.

Anyways, roboform is the single most useful tool that I use on a daily basis. It saves my login info, fills forms very well, and helps me manage alot of my personal information.

Top notch

EDIT

Diam0nd, not to contradict you, but you are wrong. Opera does not support third parties AT ALL. Can you install the google toolbar in opera? Can you install yahoo's? Can you install any program that changes the opera interface without using userjs? I suggest you read here:

http://my.opera.com/comm...amp;id=&sortby=last

And that link is just from the last 60 days.

Check this topic for a VERY IN DEPTH discussion on opera not supporting third party code.

http://my.opera.com/comm...ums/topic.dml?id=129257

Users have been requesting opera develop an API to allow third party programs to interface and change opera for years, but they havent done it for security reasons. Roboform is one of the most requested programs on their forums if you just search for it.

Ugh geez, yet another "There's a freebie equivalent!" rambling. As if KeePass Password Safe and the KeeForm plugin did the same thing that RoboForm does. KPS is a nice, simple password manager, but it isn't a form filler. KeeForm is an AutoIt script that fills simple user name/password forms.

OK, so if I want to use KPS and KeeForm, how do I fill in an entire HTTPS-based order form in Firefox? How do I automatically save forms? How do I choose between submitting my real personal info, and fake, anonymous info? Oh, I don't do any of those things? That's what I thought.

Wow. Just...wow.

I've been using Roboform for a few years now and can't live without it. It allows you to use different passwords on every site you visit and fills in that info for you automatically each time you visit the site in the future.

As for buying multiple licenses - the first one is $29.95, everyone after that is only $9.95. If you need more than two, you get a discount beyond that. I tried their ordering system and stated I wanted five - it sold them for $17.95 a piece.

For all that this program can do - it's worth the money.

The Version 6.x is fine but any (6.x daily!) connect to the roboform servers and weekly updates are really not the right thing.

I bought it a couple years ago because I needed more than the ten passcards the free version allows. I use it all the time and every day.

and it works well I've been using it for years

the only thing i don't like about it is the activation but other than that is was well worth the money i paid for it a few years ago

this version allows the user to "opt out" of RF popping up in Firefox which had been occuring since version 6.8.6 I believe even when the mozilla adapter option was unchecked during the installation. For my own reasons I did not want Roboform as my password manager in FF and now I am able to have that. RF is a must have for IE and FF if you choose to have that.

@InSuboRdiNaTioN...You couldn't just import someone's RoboForm data and begin using it. The data is encrypted, and useless without the correct master password. Did you forget that part? The only thing you could "import" would be data that you intentionally exported from some other encryption utility. I think you completely misunderstand the purpose of importing data.

An import/export feature is not only handy, but crucial, if one is expected to be able to switch to using this product. This is why all good password utilities (Password Agent, KeePass Password Safe, etc.) have the ability to import/export. Not having such a feature is a barrier to entry for those like me who have many, many IDs and password.

Awesome stuff!! Must have!! Especially if you have multiple sites and multiple logins to maintain. Love the password generator! However, if you DO use the generator write it down or back it up! They are good ones! I have had two banks tell me so.

Excellent lil nifty program. I could not make it without my RoboForm. I like that fact that you can store up to 10 sites for free, but the paid version is worth the $! Keep up the GREAT work guys!

Won't install on very latest Netscape, but you can replace its roboform.jar with version from another Moz variant as a workaround.

hell0- I wouldn't expect to see an import feature, ever. It makes it too easy to steal log in data. In just a few minutes on your computer I could install roboform, import your existing data, and then have a list of all the sites that you have log data stored for, and easily use those passcards to log in as you.

I have been using Roboform for years, and it has always been a solid product.
However, I would like to see a "light version" without an extra features, just a stripped down form filler.

Sorry Hell0. Roboform can only import from:
Gator, Favorites, Address book, Outlook contacts, IE cached logins, Firefox bookmarks & Portable Firefox bookmarks.

But you can use any of the above to import your data. For example import a csv to Outlook and then import from Outlook...

I have hundreds of IDs and passwords.

RoboForm provides absolutely no way for me to import these existing IDs/passwords.

Why they would want this barrier-to-entry is beyond me. There's no way on earth I'm going to spend a week retyping all that info into RoboForm.

Great form filler, but not the best password manager, as far as I'm concerned.

But the bottom line is: No way to import from XML or CSV files = No way I'm going to manually enter 500 entries just to switch to RoboForm.

I can live without this program, but I choose not to ;)
If one browses the web alot it makes online life so much easier. Before RF I used only one or two passwords to everything on the net. I dont know if anyone actually ever has had their password compromised, but it didnt feel safe for me.

With this one I dont have to remember complicated passwords.
Never had any bad experience with it. There are updates quite often. They are fast to update Roboform to new Firefox versions, often within a day after FF release. Very stable.

You can actually live without this program but I can recommend it if you feel you need to remember login info and use advanced passwords. It makes filling out online forms a breeze.

Fixed problems in IE7 beta2 + Pass2Go

Already? Wow, i'm real impressed! As well the sincying & to go features are very useful.

Two complaints since they bundle Search in the toolbar:

1. Let users pick the default search engine(figure out a way to make money with numerous engines!) Tired of so many apps foisting Yahoo et al-- some forcibly, in spite of providing other choices(are you listening Maxthon!!!!??!!!)

2. And since Search is being bundled(esp. w/o choices), then the app should be free: if you give me free cake I will submit to your flavor of choice; but if you want me to buy, i may not pay if ginger-macadamia is my only choice w/ no alternatives.

This program has been nothing but a blessing. There's not a day that goes by that I don't benefit from it.

For those using the standalone version and have "issues" with activation then perhaps you should back up your registry info and import upon install or simply call support, explain the situation and give them a chance to help. I did this and was treated respectfully and promptly.

Perhaps a better solution for you multiple machine users is their "Pass2Go" version which is placed on and runs from a thumbdrive.

Don't fault the software or programmers if you try using the software in a manner it wasn't designed for only to find it is inadequate in that scenario. Siber Systems has several versions available for just this reason.

For the rest that want to rely on browser whatever to "securely" manage your passwords . . . good luck. You still won't be able to make that arrangement portable, at least not easily, and, IMO, Roboform is most likely just too advanced for your type of application of this software.

To each his or her own but I'm sticking with Roboform unless someone can show me something else that outperforms it.

If what InSuboRdiNaTioN said is correct, then this program deserves a 1.

I've had it with all these programs that use activation. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these programs that I have registered have been nothing but a huge hassle because of this activation junk. If your one of those people who likes to upgrade his computer a lot or reinstall windows etc.

Its plain stealing from customers.

While this is a very nice app, i agree with most:

Don't see the point of paying for a missing feature of IE, Maxthon, etc. + I have beacoup computers at each of several locales...

I make do w/ a smorgasboard of pw / form handling of Opera, Netscape, & Google Toolbar-- + the Nirsoft utilities PSPV & Aster(for those sites that require IE only), and as well the last free un-updated Robo version.

If MS wants to be the be-all monopoly, well then do it correctly: acquire Robo, Maxthon, +++, etc. and incorporate into IE...
 
InSuboRdiNaTioN Mar 13, 2006 6.6.6

In reference to the post below:

You can use it on more than one computer (against the license), but you can only activate it (via their website) a total of 3 times. For those of us who format on a regular basis, it's a joke.
Note that additional licenses are quite a bit cheaper (I think $10 or $15).
However, they did give me another 3 activations after I used my first 3 and complained.

Roboform is an indispensable tool for Internet Explorer and Firefox users. It is a terrific form filler and login tool. I found the "safenotes" feature very handy. Easy to save, backup, or transfer your private Robo information. The free version is limited but the pro version is well worth the money.

Sounds like Approx had a buggy & virus-riddled system:
No release of Robo has ever caused any issues on any of my multiple & multi OS systems...going on several years now.
No forms data has ever been lost-- sounds like the default store folder was changed: just do a search for Robo and compile the various Data folders!
I happen to like Opera a lot, but i wouldn't penalize Robo for this: responsibility lies with Opera-- and after all, what large market segment does Opera have?
If Robo merits a 1, then please post your 4/5 alternatives: we are all drooling, enduring bugs in the mouth, & having nocturnal emmissions over what extra & momentous features we'll be getting with apps suposedly several times better.

"- If RoboForm is mainly a form filler instead of a password manager, I expect support for all common browsers. Opera definitively is one, but it's not supported by RoboForm."

Opera isnt supported because there is no way for roboform to tie into opera. Opera is closed to third party programs and "extensions" so roboform supporting it is not possible. How about trying to research WHY it doesnt work instead of simply rating it poorly.

"- Too many releases. You don't know which version you can really use now. Which is stable, which is testing? Some of them are really very buggy..."

I have never had an unstable version of this program. it is updated often and just remember, you dont have to update to every new release. Roboform will PROMPT YOU when a new release that has some sort of significance has been put out. Also, please explain what bugs you have encountered with roboform? I have yet to find one that wasnt already fixed in a new release I could download.

"- To me it already happened that RoboForm worked fine for a month or so, then suddenly all stored things got lost. I also couldn't find any information any more on the hard disk, the data just plainly vanished. Luckily I had backed up everything one week before, so I only lost about 10 passwords... "

That is why, with important info like this, you would usually backup the items as you said you had. I have a task scheduled in windows that backs up the roboform data as well as various other data I have to a seperate partition. Backing is a good thing to get in the habit of doing. Also, I seriously doubt this was the fault of roboform since I have not seen one report in their support forums that state someone has lost all of their passcards or safenotes.

This utility is top notch. The support team is great. They support every browser they CAN SUPPORT (opera, as i said, cant be supported due to lack of 3rd party interoperability on opera's part, they CHOOSE to remain closed, you can search their forums to confirm this). I cant live without this program, and I think it is an invaluable resource to any pc user

- The form filler isn't that bad, but the password manager just plainly sucks. If you're looking for a good, secure password manager: use KeePass. It also has some auto-type support which works for all windows, not just browsers.

Ok, the *daily* update/fixes is a bit wonky.

Unless it's a critical update, it should be released monthly.

ATM, I generally download the *updated* version once a month.

Don't get me wrong, I love updates/fixes, but having to downloaded it every other day gets to be a pain, especially if it isn't a critical update.

Which appears some already have! :-) Honestly, complaining about too frequent updates? :( Be glad it is actively supported. If it bugs you that bad, don't update so often (every release).

I've been using good old Password 2000. But AI RoboForm is really good and convenient. Currently I am happy with FireFox internal password manager. And it is free. Still this program deserves 5 from me.

As always, best program of its kind. Keeps improving with every release. If only they could make a better interface similar to keepass's UI for managing passcards, the current one is kinda clunky. Thats my ONLY gripe with this fine piece of software

EDIT - 24APR05

AIRoboform 6.3.5 Released

* 6.3.5: Sort matching passcards by relevance, the best fitting passcard appears on top.
* 6.3.5: Add upper toolbar to Internet Explorer even if RoboForm is not installed.
* 6.3.5: Drop 3-state system for toolbars (upper, lower, one), use 2-state system instead.
* 6.3.5: Remove keyboard shortcuts from RF context menu items, use keyboard shortcuts instead.
* 6.3.5: Add support Yahoo UK + BT browser and AOL browser.

Other users are dimwitted, and posting things about freeware programs, that "supposedly" compare to Roboform. I think they are severely lacking in knowledge. Roboform is the ONLY password keeper. Its not free, but seldom are GOOD products free. you have to wonder why products like Keypass claim to be opensource and free, yet they don't work as good.. I find that interesting. I think people naturally cleave towards "cheap".

Roboform has a FREE version, as long as you don't use more than 10 password sites, and I would put this up against any password keeper, Norton, Firefox, Keepass, I have tried them all.. roboform is immediately recognized as the best password program bar none. I give it a 5, and it has regular updates that keep making it the best program out there.

Yeah, that comment about "no log about changes" getting a 1.. That's stupid. It has nothing to do with the program itself.

Wow, rate it a 1 because of no change log, god users at fileforum are intelligent. A quick visit to roboform.com (time taken to browse there, 2 seconds including opening new firefox tab) http://www.roboform.com/news.html

Beta Versions 6.2.5 to 6.2.9

* 6.2.7: Save and Fill multiple-value SELECT fields in passcards.
* 6.2.5: New Options dialog, with left tab navigator and icons.
* 6.2.5: Add ALT+key keyboard shortcuts for most RoboForm toolbar commands.

So I would imagine that the update enhances the fixes implimented in previous versions. Especially considering I've been running this version for a few days now (prior to fileforum releasing it).

By the way!

I've been using Roboform for years. Worth every penny. But since I've grown to love Opera, Robo is not used much anymore.
Everyone email Opera and Roboform and tell them what we want.
I cannot stand the password and form filler in Mozilla browsers. Even wand is better than those.
I really find the secure notes in Roboform a plus.

Best program of its kind, people mistake this for being a password vault (which its not). Its primary purpose is filling web forms and filling login info. Its not designed simply to store this info. I couldnt imagine the internet without this app.

@Sham69: I have requested that opera develop a way to support roboform and other 3rd party apps. Opera lacks the plugin support. Why? Because they want to be an all-in-one app, thats why they have wand (which is very lacking). Believe me, I use ff right now but would gladly switch to and pay for opera if they supported this great app. Guess they dont want users to have a choice :) But anyways, this isnt about opera, its about roboform.

My ONLY suggestion to roboform is to add in a better interface for editing and viewing passwords. That and perhaps smart card authentication as opposed to password based (The corp. I work for uses smart cards for EVERYTHING, and this would be great if they could judge your eligibility to use the passcards based on the smart card you have)

Actually I am running ver. 6.2.6 beta (available on the website) but I have been a user of Roboform for quite some time.

This is truly great software ... and they have been keeping it up with FireFox quite well. With this program, I am now free to use different and complex passwords for various sites without the problem of having to manually look them up each time I want to visit one of those sites. Very nice indeed.

This program only gets a 4 out of 5, for the fact that it doesn't work with Opera, the fastest webbrowser on earth...

It would be very handy to have in Opera, which (if I'm right??) shares the same plug-in architecture as Mozilla (firefox), which IS supported...

Who said Roboform did not have a place to put garage door passwords, bike lock codes, etc.? You did not spend much time with the program. Look at SAFENOTES. I keep all sorts of sensitive info in safenotes. The beauty of Roboform is that it is so easy to back up all of your roboform data. I keep a copy online in case of a crash. This is a terrific program. Not having it is not an option for me. It is just too handy.

Can anybody sing "Get out of my systray and into my desktop”?
Why isn't there a main window just a bunch of little ones?

Roboform doesn’t offer nice support with passwords especially for other things then websites. There is no place to put bike lock combinations, garage door passwords, alarm codes, etc. It isn’t a very good password manager, one of the worst I’ve seen, compared to software such as the open sourced KeePass. However it offers web form filling. Competitor password managers just offer web auto login. I also don’t like how the passwords aren’t hidden behind asterisks when you are using the program. It also uses DES encryption by default rather than 3DES. DES is cracked very easily you just need time.

Form filler? Yes it is and it’s quite good.
Password manager? Hardly

1 point deducted for being a poor password manager
1 point deducted for overall security
1 point deducted because it is clutter some without a main GUI
1 point given for ease of use
1 point given for additional functionality (web forms)

There are really not enough good things I can say about this fantastic utility. AI RoboForm is a small application that integrates with your browser and stores passwords, web forms, profile information, and even brief notes. The browser integration is seamless - whenever you visit a site for which you have associated form data, RoboForm can automatically fill or prompt your to fill all form data and logins, and even submit the page for you. Since these days most of us have potentially dozens of website logins and passwords, this tool is a real timesaver. User and profile data is password protected with DES/3DES encryption, making security effectively a non-issue. The application even has a pseudo-random password generator if you are worried about dictionary-based attacks. Furthermore, you can synchronize and take your user data with you anywhere with the Pocket PC/ Palm versions, or use the application on the road with a flash drive version that requires no installation to the client machine. This tool is so amazingly useful that the only thing I can find to be critical of is that it is not the prettiest UI in the world and that you cannot update the forms on your PDA.

RoboForm is the best IE Add-On out! Period.
How can any people complain about limitations in a free version of one of the truly outstanding IE Explorer add ons in the marketplace. I understand why people want Freeware. I do to, but this man supports his family with one of the truly indispensable add-ons out in the PC world. No spy ware. Encryption, literally parses a web page. Custom ID tags.

I save at least 10 hours of week using this app. How much is your time worth.

And it is updated virtually every other week with superb support and a very small foot print. I haver used Robo Form for over three years and have yet to find anything close. Look at Norton Password (yuck) Gator (spy ware) and not half as good. Bottom line this is one you must have and should pony up the small amount of money to register the Pro version. And no I do not work the the developer and I paid for my version because I felt it important to support great software development.

Much improvement since version 575. Works very nice and is a joy to surf with. Those that gripe about the passcard limitations should shell out some buckaroos and enjoy unlimited passcards, identities and safenotes.

Now i have been a big fan of AI Robo form and still am i just do not like this new version. In previous versions you were able to have a max of 30 passcard in the free version. That number has now dropped to 10. I had a hard time keeping bellow thirty so 10 is not enough. Other than that i great app.

I've used this for ages and recommend it to anyone. Although the updates do come thick & fast with this app. I'm using v5.7.5 Pro at the moment which works perfectly with both IE6 & firefox, so I see no need to update unless this beta offers a big much improvement.

I was looking for a password manager that was unobtrusive. AI RoboForm 5.9.8 Beta is that and much more. I have been using it for about a week now and have not experienced any bugs at all. I had tried out several other password managers and they all had issues... either they wouldn't submit the login/password for various sites due to java usage on the website, or they didn't have option to submit login/passwords at all. I even dropped Google Toolbar because RoboForm has a toolbar with a Search field that allows you to choose which search engine you want to use. Plus the form filler is much more robust than GT's.

My experience with their support team was also very pleasant. I submitted a suggestion to them and they responded back within a couple hours on the weekend. If you have a need for a password manager or a form filler then you can't go wrong with RoboForm. Great product!

The best form filler just got a lot better, great now it has folders. It does work with Firefox although it doesn't have full function as in IE and IE clones such as Avant and MYIE2. To use with Firefox you need to get the adapter as well.

Great release, Thanks RoboForm.

I have used RoboForm Pro (the registered version) for quite awhile, and can't stand to be without it. RoboForm really is one of a kind. Its Mozilla support, being somewhat crippled, still lags behind that of MSIE (which is not necessarily the author's fault). RoboForm is an excellent form filler, but its raw password-handling features are pretty rudimentary and disappointing. For example, there is a password-generation facility, but there is no way to automatically send the generated passwords to a RoboForm entry. There is no search facility in RoboForm, so good luck when you need to find a user ID, password, or URL string. RoboForm also does not save "archival" copies of previous passwords, when the password for a given entry is changed. (Before you accuse me of nitpicking, note that these are all things that good password-management utilities do.) Another thing I really dislike is that when you backup your RoboForm data, the original file names are used--so if you use the obvious and default convention of naming RoboForm entries after the web sites they are used on, anyone with access to the files can at least see what sites they are for. (No, kiddies, this doesn't mean I have a ton of pron site password entries. It's about privacy.) I still give RoboForm a 4-star rating (however barely), because it is so good at filling forms.

Excellent, is the only word I can describe Roboform with. I have used it since it's inception. This is 'class' software and still free with limitations. Someone was worried about loosing their passwords and safenotes? Simply copy the myroboform data folder and save it on disk or online somewhere. Fullproof and easy.

Every time I install a new version I have to make 3 changes. I have to close the systray program, stop the program from loading to the systray, and change the IE icon so it's gray (like it used to be). Starting with 5.20 I had to make my own gray icon because it doesn't match the green one. The program used to include options that took care of this during the install. The author should put them back in.

RUN don't walk and download the ( in my humble opinion . . . lol) the best IE ADD-ON you can have. The first time I used it, I saved two hours on the net. It just gets better and better. AND it's FREE with NO SPY-WARE, AD WARE and all your PW's are encrypted in 3DES. It is stable, flexible and totally customizable. It will parse and fill in a web page before you know it has ( you can control that action). Plus you can as many "Identities" as you want for different sites to avoid spam, etc. Grab it! It really should be 6 STARS!

A really good program. Whats best about it is that it works for both IE and Netscape 6 (needs a plugin available on the site). Updated regularly with better features. A must have if you need to save your passwords to websites, as well as for automatic form filling. Go ahead and download it, you won't regret.

As I mentioned before RoboFormis updated frequently. Not because it is buggy, but because the developer is committed to keeping it fresh and stable. This is the THIRD update in the last week, and it just keeps on getting BETTER. Seriously, RUN, don't walk and add it to IE or Netscape. IT really does ( for once) what is says it does - flawlessly! I can not image living without it.

I save a LEAST 2 hours a day on thr WEB since I installed RoboForm. I wish ALL software was so useful. It is virtually bullet-proof! Rock Solid. IT IS THE BEST IE Add-On you can get. I am pretty cheap, but because it is so good, I purchased the PRO version, which I really didn't need in order to help support the developer's work! It is updated frequently - I have received AT LEAST 15 updates in the last six months. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and NO I do NOT work for or any any INTEREST whatsoever in the deloper. BTW THERE IS NO SPYWARE - ADWARE - in the free version!
Run, NOT WALK TO INSTALL IT! :-)))))
