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 7.7 is a bug-fixing release.

"Fills in your passwords for you"
Version: RoboForm 7.7
Pros
You only have to remember your master password to keep unlimited web sites and passwords in one place. Generates hard passwords. Syncs between computers over the internet. . .your data is always up to date if you have more than one computer or USB key drive.
Cons
Doesn't cook breakfast or serve it to you in bed.
Summary
Best password keeping program I have seen. If you place Roboform inside a Cryptainer . . . or a "Folder Lock" container your data is doubly protected. Great for key drives on the go.

"It is awesome and updates have worked great."
Version: RoboForm 7.7
Pros
Easy to use and works with most websites.
Cons
Annual fee is not necessary, should be a one time fee. Too ease for hackers to find passwords, although you can create a master password which is cumbersome.
Summary
Highly recommended for those using multiple user-id's and passwords.
-
"Excellent program"
Version: RoboForm 7.7

This program is very useful as a secure vault for private information, not just for passwords. It is frequently updated and the CNet Smart Install works excellently with this (and all other) progam(s)
Cons
For me there are no negatives.
Summary
I wouldn't be without this program.
-

Fills in forms on the net, signons, etc.
