CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 08, 2008
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.

Version: RoboForm 6.9
Pros: Not sure because can't get it to work with Chrome.
Cons: i have firefox and chrome. when i install it, even though the only browser i had open is chrome, it opens firefox and installs it there. my room-mate likes firefox, so i can't take it off. i hate firefox cause every time i open it it won't respond.
Summary: i'm sure roboform is a fine program, but I can't get it to install in chrome.
i don't understand why a program would install in firefox, when firefox isn't even open, and chrome is.

Version: RoboForm 6.9
Pros: Because Roboform remembers my passwords, I can use a unique, complex password for each site that requires a login, without having to remember them. I use it on two computers, and the GoodSync tool keeps the passwords synced between the two.
Cons: I would like it to be easier to pick up the names for fields that the Web site doesn't identify as a password or login. For example, there's a credit card site that requires the credit card number and Zip Code before you get to the login.
