Password Manager Software, Summary Reviews of Desktop Password Programs.

Roboform is a username and password manager, and sophisticated form filler. It simply and securely stores your information. The program securely encrypts on your Hard Drive all of your usernames and passwords protected by on master password which is all you have to remember. Either use your own favourites and when you get to a login page a box will pop up with the option to click and your username and password is filled in for you. Alternatively use the list of logins in the browser toolbar and the program will automatically navigate to a website, fill in the username and password fields, and activate the submit button… all in one click.

There is no memorizing hundreds of usernames and passwords, no logging your info on hard to read spread sheets, and no copy and pasting.

Roboform also has a powerful form filler. If you’ve ever filled out a lengthy web form or application with all the usual fields, you know how long it can take filling out the same information. With Roboform, you can create a PassCard that will store all the necessary information for you so whenever you come across another web form, you can just hit one button and all fields are filled, automatically.

For online purchases your credit/debit card information can also be stored and automatically filled in at the click of a button. You can store more than one card and choose which one to use

I’ve been using Roboform for over 6 years now, and I can honestly say it has saved me more time in using my Computer than any other program and made the whole process of Computer use so much easier

You have the option to download the program for free. It can be used on Firefox and Internet Explorer. With the free program you can only store 10 PassCards and are limited to just a few Identities.

With the pro version, you get unlimited PassCards for both logins and Identities. It’s a one time fee, only $29.95 with regular free updates available. There is also a portable version. You can order a Roboform USB drive or you can use your own. Just download the Roboform2Go to you USB drive and you can plug it in to any laptop or computer that supports USB. Launch the program and the toolbar will appear in the browser as long as the USB is plugged in. Once you remove the drive, there is no trace of the program or your information.

Roboform is far and away the market leader with millions of users and the widest set of easy to use features.

I highly recommend purchasing the Roboform Pro Version, its inexpensive and easily worth 10 times its current price. You can also download Roboform for Free to test drive it and it stays free if you keep to 10 logins.

Standard Roboform Pro for PC or Laptop is $29.95. Extra licence for a second Computer is $9.95. Roboform to Go for a USB stick bought at the same time as a standard licence is $19.95. If you just buy Roboform to Go for use on multiple Computers the cost is $39.95. Provided you have the standard licence you can currently download plugins free to use Roboform on Pocket PC, Symbian or Blackberry devices. There is a fee of $9.95 to use with Palm

Handy Password is an all-in-one password manager, bookmark manager, and form filler that does a pretty good job of clearing a path for you on the Internet without compromising your security. It works fine with both Internet Explorer and Firefox and saves site and email logins, stores bank account details, PIN codes, credit card numbers, fills this information in the web-forms on all sites where you are registered, and automatically submits it allowing you to login with no delay.

Personal information security is provided with a random password generator, which can generate strong secure passwords which are extremely difficult to crack. The program uses 128-bit Blowfish encryption algorithm so no one will access your password database without knowing the master password, the only thing you have to remember.

The form filler is nice because instead of relying on generic information, it remembers forms you’ve filled out at various sites and then inserts that information in the future. This is great for online shopping sites or other places where you only want to check out using guest accounts instead of signing up permanently

The program constantly keeps getting better. Recently they released a USB version. It’s enough to install it on a Flash drive and your identities will always be with you and available on any PC you are working at.

By the way Handy Password can also be used without purchasing a license however in this case the number of logins you can store will be limited to 15.

An important point is that this program can be set up for business use. Using this option system administrators obtain full control over corporate passwords and employees login without knowing the passwords.

This program has improved a lot over the last few years bringing it close to Roboform in features

Advanced Password Manager allows you to manage your passwords and logins from a password protected database. You can organize your entries in category folders, add comments, and create a custom login template for each, that allows you to login automatically without having to copy/paste information first. Additional features include a password generator and import/export options. All your logins are also available from the system tray icon.

This password manager lets you enter all your passwords in one place, assign a login and a password for a specific URL, and use the program's autofill feature later. The program uses a U.S.-government-approved encryption standard.

The organization system for passwords is especially useful if you end up accumulating a lot of logins.

The Program falls short of the Gold and Silver winning programs because the auto save and login features are not as good and the program is not able to auto fill forms and card details from identities.
