Roboform Pro full Review. Password Manager Software reviews.

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

Automatically filling forms, memorizing lots of user names, passwords, let Roboform do it for you

A password manager is a tool that allows you to store your login information in an encrypted format and retrieve it as needed. To prevent hackers from accessing your private information Roboform requires a "Master Password" to be used as the "key" to perform encryption and decryption of you data. All you have to remember is the Master Password and the password manager will remember all your other passwords for you.

A password manager tool and a form filler tool are necessary for us to deal with so many user names and passwords and filling in name, address etc for registration and credit card details for payment.

Roboform joins the two necessary tools together for your convenience. You can not only manage your passwords but also automatically fill forms with Roboform.

It has a very easy to use interface and smart features. Here is a main feature list:

Memorizes your passwords and Logs You In automatically. Fills long registration and checkout forms with one click. Encrypts your passwords to achieve complete security. Generates random passwords that hackers cannot guess. Fights Phishing by filling passwords only on matching web sites. Defeats Keyloggers by not using keyboard to type passwords. Backs up your passwords, Copies them between computers. Synchronizes passwords between computers using GoodSync. Searches for keywords in your passwords, notes and Internet. Portable: RoboForm2Go runs from USB key, no install needed. PDA-friendly: sync your passwords to Pocket PC and Palm. Neutral: works with Internet Explorer, AOL/MSN, Firefox. IE 7 and Vista are now supported.

Years ago I was looking for a solution to the multiplying logins of Webmail, online banking and online shopping. I ended up noting them down on paper, not very safe. I tried the built-in password manager and form filler in browser but was disappointed by their limited functions. No custom fields, can’t fill most of the forms, not secure and easy to use. After I tried Roboform the problems were solved

RoboForm is an award-winning automated password manager and web form filler with some serious Artificial Intelligence. This is what it does:

• Generate Secure Random Passwords.
• Encrypt passwords and personal data using AES, Blowfish, RC6, 3-DES or 1-DES algorithms.
• All personal info is stored on your computer only.
• Take RoboForm with you on USB disk for ultimate portability.
• Sync your passwords and notes to Palm or Pocket PC.
• Backup & Restore, Print your passwords.
• More features: drill down for more.
• It is well-behaved: NO ADWARE, NO SPYWARE.

RoboForm offers to save the online login form into Passcard when you click Login/Submit button on the web page for the first time.

When you log into a website for the first time RoboForm gives you the option to Save your login information into a Passcard. When you click on a Passcard RoboForm will log you into that website automatically.

RoboForm offers to fill the saved online passwords into online form when you visit the page for which passwords were saved.

A single Login command causes: (i) navigation to a site login page, (ii) automatic filling of the login form, (iii) submission of the login form.

The Logins menu organizes and displays all your Passcards on one screen (your username and passwords are securely stored as RoboForm Passcards). From the Logins menu you can print a list of your Passcards, edit your Passcards, but most importantly if you click on your Passcard, RoboForm will go to the web site, fill in your username and password, and click the submit button automatically.

Matching Passcards button on RoboForm toolbar shows the top Passcard that matches the online page shown in the browser. If you mouse over this button, all matching Passcards are shown.

Passcard Editor allows to easily view, edit, copy, rename and delete your Passcards (each Passcard stores login info for one account). If you have more than one Passcards for a webpage, eg multiple Webmail accounts they can be saved to Roboform with different names and you can choose which one to login to.

Fields that requires entering different data on every login (Turing Numbers) may be set to be ignored both for AutoFill and AutoSave.

Login page JavaScript designed to thwart password monitoring programs does not prevent RoboForm from doing its job saving and filling passwords.

RoboForm can AutoFill and AutoSave login info from Basic Authentication dialogs (they are not in HTML) and Windows dialogs as long as they appear on top of the HTML page.

Print a list of all your Passcards and get your precious passwords backed up to the most reliable medium -- paper.

You can save any typed-in form to a Passcard, not just login form. You can fill any form from the saved Passcard. An example: save Free Magazine Subscription online application form and use it 6 months later to renew the subscription.

Every page with forms can be saved as Passcard or Bookmark. Bookmark is a Passcard without form fields that contains a text comment on the site.

You can store offline data in RoboForm Safenotes that are encrypted by your Master Password. Examples of things to store in Safenotes:
- Software registration codes,
- ATM (cash machine) passwords,
- Lock combinations,
- UNIX command line logins.

You can store non-secret texts such as standard replies to emails in Safenotes too. Each Safenote can be individually password-protected or not.

RoboForm is really smart in filling in forms; it is the most precise form filler on the market. We use Artificial Intelligence techniques to achieve this kind of precision and we test RoboForm thoroughly.

RoboForm can read and fill any form, even a form that it has never seen before. This is because RoboForm does what humans do when they fill a form -- it parses the form, "understands" it and makes field filling decisions.

You can have many Identities and you can easily switch between them. Your identities do not have to be real persons. Use fake Identities -- preserve your privacy.

Contact is a small Identity that usually is not offered for form filling. You can use Contacts to create your own Address Book, with folder tree structure.

Every group of fields found in Identity (Credit Card, Address, Bank Account, Person) can have multiple instances. That is, you can have several credit cards, addresses and persons (usually members of one group) in one Identity.

You can ask RoboForm to fill just a part of your form, rather than the complete form. Simply select (highlight) the fields that you want RoboForm to fill and click any form filling button -- only the selected fields will be filled.

RoboForm correctly fills selection fields presented as drop-down lists of items. Example: if you car expiration date is in February, RoboForm will select "Feb" or "February" or even "02" in the field. It handles radio buttons in a similar fashion.

RoboForm also fills out fields that are divided into several sub-fields. Example: the "Phone Number" field could be in 3 fields of 3+3+4 digits, 2 fields of 3+7 digits, or one field of 10 digits. Roboform fills out all of these correctly.

In each Identity you can have custom fields for which you specify the field caption that is used to recognize the field.

RoboForm can fill forms in multiple languages, not just in English.
RoboForm lets you select the country you are in, and then it customizes its form filling rules based on the traditions of your country. For instance, it knows that in the US the date format is MM/DD/YY but that in the UK it is DD/MM/YY.

You can set the selection value in one language (for example: you create your Identity with Title "Monsieur" in French) and RoboForm will correctly fill this value in any language that it can handle. For example: it would put "Herr" into the Title field in a German form.

Generate random password of any length, up to 512 characters. Options:
- Specify set of characters to appear in the password, including special characters.
- Option to exclude similar characters.
- Option to generate hexadecimal passwords.
- Password bit strength indicator.

RoboForm fills generated password automatically when you click Generate -> Fill button.

Password Generator generates hard to guess passwords for an added level of security. You can now use secure passwords because RoboForm will Remember them for you.

Save Forms, new Identity, Rename, Clone dialogs allow creation of new object in a folder.

You can protect all your Identities and Passcards with the Master Password thus making them inaccessible to unauthorized users and unreadable by hackers even if they are stolen. We use AES encryption for increased protection.

Once you enter Master Password, it is kept in memory, so that you do not have to re-enter it for every Passcard. Logoff command purges cached password from memory.

When RoboForm enters the saved password into form fields, it is not typing them through keyboard, so if a keylogger is installed on your computer and it is monitoring keyboard events for passwords, it will get no keyboard clicks when you use RoboForm to enter passwords.

You can ask RoboForm to purge cached Master Password from memory after a specified period of inactivity.

You can ask RoboForm to reprotect all Passcards with the new Master Password. Also password protection can be removed or added to all Passcards.

Each Passcard, Identity and Safenote is a separate file. This allows to have links to Passcards on desktop, to send them to your friends by email, and to copy/move them using Windows Explorer.

A collection of Passcards, Identities and Safenotes constitutes one RoboForm Profile. You can have more than one Profile, say one RF Profile for every member of the household. Easy switching between Profiles is provided.

Each Windows account has its own RoboForm Profile but it is possible for several Windows accounts to share one RoboForm Profile.

Type partial name of Passcard, Identity, Safenote and have RoboForm show you all objects that match. This is autocomplete for Passcard and Identity names. ENTER executes the default command on the 1st shown object.

Type a search word or phrase, press F3 or F6 and it is searched in Yahoo, Google or other search engine. You can add new search engines or customize default search engines: assigned key, order of appearance, search URL.

Type a word, click F8 and RoboForm goes to www.word.com (same as CTRL+ENTER in IE).
This feature should be enabled in RoboForm -> Options -> Search.

Many more lookups are programmed in Search Box:
* Lookup White Pages by Phone Number,
* Lookup domain name in WhoIs,
* Lookup word in Merriam Webster dictionary.
* Lookup Weather by Zip Code.
All these Search options should be downloaded as SearchCards.

Type a word and RoboForm offers a list of possible search actions, ENTER selects default action.

RoboForm2Go (portable version of RoboForm) can be carried on USB key or any removable drive.

Your passwords and sensitive personal data are stored on USB key, so once you pull it out, the data is physically gone from the computer. In fact, your password files are never placed on the client computer disk.

Both RoboForm program and your password files reside on USB key, so you can freely take them from one computer to another.

RoboForm2Go does not have to be installed on client computer. It starts automatically when you plugin the USB key and it attaches to browsers without need for browser helper object or toolbar registration, that is, no install is required. So you can run RoboForm2Go on computers where you do not have permission to install software.

RoboForm adds a toolbar to Internet Explorer, Avant, MaxThon, Slim, Firefox, Mozilla browsers. RoboForm toolbar is the best way to control RoboForm operation.

Users who do not use the RoboForm toolbar can control RoboForm from the AutoFill (Fill Forms) dialog. If AutoFill option is turned on then AutoFill dialog will be shown when you visit a page for which you have saved Passcards.

RoboForm user interface, manual, FAQ and web site is available in many languages.

You can fully customize appearance of the RoboForm toolbar and the behaviour of most commands.

RoboForm automatically monitors our web site for new versions and it will offer you the option of upgrading when a new version is released.

RoboForm has commands to set/clear/reset all fields in a form or in a selection. These commands come in handy when you need to check or uncheck 20 checkboxes. Just highlight them all and select RoboForm -> Fields -> Set/Clear Fields command.
