Great software, constant updates. I only wish the toolbar was skinnable. Dark themes obscure the text.

Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

While I never felt secure unless using my manual method of entering passwords and such, Roboform has changed my mind. The password protection against use when you "LOG OFF" that is, else anyone can view the content. I believe you can auto log off after a period of time and clear the cache. That said, it's so nice to just click on the card and off I go to my favorite sites, sign in automatically and good to go. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that if you email a passcard or info, it's still easily viewed without asking for password. I may have missed something though. The problem is, if I send a passcard or identity info to any other email, it's supposed to be password protected, HOWEVER it's NOT and can be opened by ANYONE. I would really like to know how this can be and why it's not considered a flaw.

The ultimate login automation utility.

Value: 5
Overall:

There may be a slight learning curve for some. Updates are very frequent the program works with just about any login you throw at it. I think there may be a few flash or Java exceptions but they are few and far between for most users in my estimation. If you want to increase your security and convenience do not hesitate to get RoboForm, you can create complex passwords and avoid repeatedly using the same password by using this awesome utility. It is probably the one program I use the most of any program on my PC's.

Overall:

The best password manager on the market - unfortunately. I've had need to contact their tech support several times. At best it's been OK. At worst, it's rude and dismissive. This is a company who definitely treat customers as a necessary evil, and as a result treat them with some contempt. I'd recommend new users to not get locked in to this software (they offer no useful export facility).

Cannot synchronize with a Pocket PC

Interface: 3
Features: 2
Ease of use: 3
Value: 2
Overall:

Roboform works fine on the Pc. However, my main reason for buying Roboform was to synchronize passwords with my Pocket Pc and this does not work. Some items pass over to the phone but most does not. My Pocket Pc runs on Windows mobile version 5. Roboform support says that they will reply on my questions but no reply comes. When I again ask the same questions there is no reply at all from Roboform support. So after more than 5 months with several questions to support synchronizing does not work (and I am fairly good with computers and smartphones). My conclusion is that if you only want to use Roboform on your Pc to remember passwords then it will work just fine. If you want to synchronize with a smartphone choose another program from another company.

Value: 5
Overall:

Remembering passwords was becoming a headache so I tried a couple of password managers. I really like RoboForm. It sits quietly in the system tray waiting for you to logon to a website. Enter your logon information and it remembers it, so next time you can logon simply by selecting the site you want to logon to. It would be great if it could offer one-click access to non-web applications, like password protected Word documents, for example. As it is you will have to cut and paste passwords for everything other than internet sites, which is what you have to do with other password managers I've tried. RoboForm also allows you to store encrypted password protected notes, credit card details, bank details, passport details etc. It's a one-stop vault for all your essential information. I liked Access Manager 2 but it didn't offer the discreet and handy interface of RoboForm. A very nice piece of software at an unbeatable price!

I've used RoboForm for about 4 years now and have almost 600 passwords stored in it and it's never failed me. I also bought the Palm version so I can carry my passwords with me everywhere my Palm goes. My wife uses it to log into our bank accounts and other sites she uses and she loves it too. Great for keeping other notes securely that you need to keep track of, like passwords for the corporate database, insurance account numbers, credit card numbers. So if my wallet was stolen on a business trip where I have my Palm, I know my account numbers that I need to cancel. Great tool.

Overall:

Let me start with the good things. The concept of AI RoboForm is good and the program is well executed. But unfortunately, to me all these pro's are easily crushed by the limit of only 10 passwords... I think any websurfer already needs - or soon will need - many more then that. I consider the freeware version a weak teaser, because there are some good and truly freeware passwords managers around - without the limit.

I spend a lot of time on the web. Have my business, and web pages etc probably a bunch of 30 or so pwd. A few minor interface gripes, eg you cannot tell it to disregard a site once logged in (keeps prompting for passwords) but this will probably be sorted. Its a great utility and well worth the $40 for more than 10 passwords

What do I consider I *really* need besides a browser, to surf quietly over the web? Besides obvious security tools, I know only two: 'Ad Muncher' and 'AI Roboform'. Spare on anything, but not on the basis: a bed fot the flat, AI Roboform for the browser. It's as simple as that. Moreover, Roboform is not a cockpit with switches everywhere, it is *really* as easy to install (and personalize) as it is practical - and efficient - to handle *all* my UserNames and Passwords. And I'm definitely *not* a geek!

I love this program, and registered for the pro version within 1 month. I formerly used the evil gator product. Roboform seamlessly transferred my information and allowed me to fully kill the GAIN network. I eliminated pop ups almost completely at the time and this product does things the other program never dreamed of with absolutely no adware or spyware. The free version is great, but the pro is well worth the cost of registering.

I decided it was so good I paid for the Pro version. Now I use the Pro version and its great. I never have to fill in those short register forms or worry about making a mistake. Now its just a couple of clicks and I'm enjoying the website. Very Nice!

Well, this is THE form filler to use, whether you are an IE fan or a Mozilla devotee. In case you are the latter, you will have to download the Netscape adapter in addition to the software. The only problem I have encountered so far is an inability to fill certain forms, such as those based on Flash (at the Macromedia homepage). I hope the developers keep up the good work.

Updates are frequent, intelligent, and semi-automated. Tech support is so-so, but, you´re unlikely to need it. I *strongly* recommend AI RoboForm.
