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: Helps fill in the blanks
Cons: It doesn't come up on its own when you first visit a Login website.
Summary: Norton has a better one that opens right away and fills that certain webpage. It knows what site its on and what logins are needed. This ROBOform you have to direct it as to what needs to be filled.

Version: RoboForm 6.9
"Recommended - does what it says it will do."
Pros: Remembers all the private information I want. Not just passwords but personal profile information and anything I want in Safenotes. Very comprehensive and (mostly) easy to use).
Cons: Have been waiting for the Chrome version but I find the web-based implementation awkward to use. It's unfortunate it can't work the same way in Chrome as it does in IE.
Summary: I would recommend this to anyone who needs to keep track of multiple passwords and have them available when needed. Very easy to sync between multiple computers so you don't have to worry about keeping everything in line.
