CNET Editors' review
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.

Publisher's Description
From Siber Systems:
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.
The all new RoboForm 7 comes with Chrome and Safari browser support, iPhone/iPad and Android support, as well a brand new RoboForm Everywhere license for use on unlimited computers and mobile devices.
What's new in this version: Version 7.6 is a bug-fixing release.

"My favorite password utility program"
Version: RoboForm 7.6
Pros
It keeps all my computers, laptops, iPhone, and portable devices all synced with the correct passwords and information vault. I have used this for the last 5 years with no problems on many devices, and provides free updates when the come available. Works great with all browsers I have used. If you hate filling out the same inforomation on websites or job applications from different sites this program is a great time saver.
Cons
The only place I have found that it does not work is on embedded password windows on secure websites. But other than that no complaints at all.
Summary
I have tried many password utilities over the years and this is the BEST!!! I have been a customer for many years and in no way affiliated with the company. I am just a simple guy that cannot remember all his passwords. :)

"Great product... note I've only used the desktop ver."
Version: RoboForm 7.6
Pros
Works great, a lot easier than filling forms manually and remembering 1000's of passwords.
Cons
None that I can think of, except rarely there will be a web page that tries to get fancy with logins that Roboforms won't work with.
Summary
Not sure why some reviewers here complain about often updates... the updates are new features... if you don't want to update you don't have to.

"Free program was great; the paid pro version was buggy."
Version: RoboForm 7.6
Pros
Fills most forms with no problem. The free version worked better than the paid pro version. If Google ever perfected "Auto-Fill", they'd put RoboForm out of business.
Cons
The RoboForm Anywhere version (on a USB card) was a DISASTER. I was so "buggy" that I lost a few dozen passwords (make a hard copy before you buy anything from RoboForm).
I played e-mail tag with RoboForm support - I ended up dumping RoboForm Anywhere (and my hopes of being able to travel with this program on my travel laptop) and stayed with the regular Pro RoboForm version for my primary desktop unit. I wouldn't trust RoboForm on a network.
The school where I work part-time has forbidden RoboForm downloads.Summary
Years ago RoboForm was one of the best free software items on the web. I hope they improve their 'professional paid' . The Pro version is very buggy.

"It kinda works."
Version: RoboForm 7.6
Pros
It saves forms and passwords on multiple computers.
Cons
If you save the same in a good browser like Firefox, you really do not need it -- in fact, it's redundant and does not always work.
-
"A great program and worth buying."
Version: RoboForm 7.6
Pros
Buying the program allows one to save hundreds of logins and passwords.
Cons
Synching with the online server can be a pain
