Publisher's description of RoboForm
RoboForm makes logging into Web sites and filling forms faster, easier, and more secure. RoboForm memorizes and securely stores each user name and password the first time you log into a site, then automatically supplies them when you return. RoboForm's powerful Logins feature eliminates the manual steps of logging into any online account. With just one click RoboForm will navigate to a Web site, enter your username and password and click the submit button for you.
Completing long registration or checkout forms is also a breeze. Simply click on your RoboForm Identity and RoboForm fills-in the entire form for you. You no longer need to remember all your passwords. You remember one Master Password, and RoboForm remembers the rest. This allows you to use stronger passwords, making your online experience more secure. RoboForm uses strong AES encryption for complete data security. Version 6.9.9 adds support for Firefox 3.0.
Editor's review of RoboForm
5.0 stars
- "Break free of form-filling chores"
You can reduce the time you spend filling out Web forms and logging onto subscription sites with RoboForm. The version 6 update improved usability significantly and replaced the old, clunky autofill window with a less-obtrusive toolbar. If you don't like the standard toolbar placement, you can run it at the bottom of the browser instead. That's the standard placement for Mozilla-based browsers. The program uses encryption algorithms such as Blowfish and AES to protect your data and includes a password generator. You can set up multiple identities with different credit-card numbers, passwords, and contact information. The trial limits the tab instances on each identity to three, but you can make plenty of identities.
Our favorite feature is Login, which with one click will go to a Web page, fill in a form, and submit your information. The program handles check boxes and radio buttons and supports about 20 languages. The new Search field in the toolbar makes finding and accessing any information quick, and we appreciate support for hot keys. Besides returning matching logins and other RoboForm entries, the search box will offer to search Google, Yahoo, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary for your term. RoboForm will save active Web users a lot of time.

Version: RoboForm 6.9.9
"Better free replacement program"
Cons: Get google toolbar, it has auto fill and its free. Auto fill is the same as robo form. You just enter your info once and never again.

Version: RoboForm 6.9.9
Pros: I cannot over emphasize how good this program is, it is totally worth paying for ... and I make an effort NEVER pay for software, HAHAHA!
Cons: The only problem is:
1. If you use the trial version, it'll only save 10 ID's and passwords.
2. If you're not using your own computer, you'll never be able to remember you ID/passwords because this little guy does it for you!

"extremely handy, but print it out occasionally"
Pros: extremely handy, but print it out occasionally in case of emergencies and you have to format your hard drive, like I did
Cons: I get so used to having it, that I take it for granted it will always be there
Summary: Extremely handy, but print it out occasionallyin case of emergencies like when you have to format your hard drive, like I did. I get so used to having it, that I take it for granted it will always be there.
