Roboform - Password Mangager and More!
Presented by Frank Myers at 9th January 2007 Meeting
ROBOFORM is the best free (or bought) utility that I have come across.
This program will fill in all sorts of forms confront you on the internet every day.
There is no Adware or Spyware here and it integrates with Internet Explorer versions 4 to 7,
any browser based on IE (AOL, MSN, NetCaptor, NeoPlanet, etc), and with Netscape 7 / Mozilla Firefox 1/2.
ROBOFORM is available as a free utility, allowing three identities and 10 Logins..
The Pro Version (which I bought and encourage you to also), allows unlimited identities/logins.
ROBOFORM adds a ToolBar, Explorer Bar, and Context Menu Items to your browser,
depending upon which browser you have. Only one of these mechanisms is needed to control RoboForm --
you decide which one. I use the toolbar as it is the quickest access for me.
In those cases where the entry form is contained within a popup window without a toolbar,
just right-click within the form to access your identity list to choose the person, or use
"Fill from Identity" (if you already have that identity/person up, and then "Fill Form".
ROBOFORM will save you from storing hundreds of URLs in your browser "Bookmarks" or "Favorites"
because you can use the "Logins" feature that will not only take you to your site but automatically log you in with a very
secure password.
ROBOFORM will create exremely secure passwords using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) which is the
encryption used by the U.S. Government.
I love it, use it extensively and will not be without it.
It has a working, FREE version, which will allow you to try it in a realistic
environment. Try it! But to really understand it's power and security, go to
