Reviewed by: CNET Staff
You can reduce the time you spend filling out Web forms and logging onto subscription sites with RoboForm. This major update improves usability significantly and replaces 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.

Version: RoboForm 6.7
"Anyone Can Benefit From This Program"
Pros: The main feature of this program is the ability to securely save all of your login information for the various sites you visit in one place. You can even save multiple logins for the same website. Then with one click of the mouse RoboForm will log you in the website.
Besides the fact that this is covenant, it�s more secure too. Face it we all cant remember dozens of passwords for all different websites, and keep the passwords unique so others can't guess them. With RoboForm they can be difficult you can�t even remember them. Furthermore, since RoboForm logs you in the site, you don't have to worry about keyloggers getting your login info.
Another great feature is the ability to fill out various forms for you. RoboForm records all of your information like personal stats, credit card info and banking info. Then at a click of a button it will automatically insert it in the appropriate fields of the form. This again renders keyloggers useless and saves you a ton of time.
Yet another feature is the password generator. This handy little button quickly generates a highly cryptic password. Again, since you'll be using RoboForm to save your password, there no need to remember it and it will be impossible to guess, and very difficult to hack.
The interface of the program is pretty straight forward and easy to use. It has easy to use toolbars compatible with Internet Explorer, Firefox, AOL and MSN.
RoboForm also has the ability to backup and restore passcards (where your info is kept) to CD, Flash Drive, or other device. The passcards remain safely encrypted and can be stored away in case you loose your originals on your hard drive.
The program uses AES encryption (the best out there) and encrypts the passcards in 128 bit, 192 bit or 256 bit depending on the length of the master password you create.
The trial time for this program is a very fair 30 days, in which time you have full functionality. After the 30 days the program only allows the use of 10 passcards (10 logins).
Cons: RoboForm is not really portable, you have to pay for a separate license you put the program on, and you can only use your passcards in a computer that has RoboForm installed. If you use many different computers in different locations to access the internet, you should look at the company's other product Pass2Go which gives all the same functionality as RoboForm in a portable format.
Quality doesn't come cheap; you have to shell out 30 bucks for the program after the 30 day trial is expired...but as they say you get what you pay for.
They really should have a package for both RoboForm and Pass2Go programs, if you bought them both it comes to 70 bucks, and that�s way too steep.

"Excellent Password Memorizer!"
Pros: Thanks to Roboform, I don't have to lose my passwords and I don't have to worry about someone stealing my passwords! The Auto-Fill option is a must-this way, you can just click a button, log in, and you're done! And don't worry about security-it stores the passwords in Passcards, encrypted so that even the most skilled hacker can't get into your passwords!
Cons: The free version only allows ten passwords to be stored. Any more than ten, BAM-you can't use it until you switch to Roboform Pro.

Version: RoboForm 6.7
"An overall good product. However, there are some performance issues."
Pros: I tried out a couple of other password programs and this one was the best. Relatively easy to use while still providing all the functionality I was looking for.
Cons: I've noticed that simply installing RoboForm with the default options results in a slight increase in the page load time. For example, I have a web page that typically loads in about 1 second. However, when RoboForm is installed the same page takes about 2 seconds to load.
In addition, I found a bug with one of the options that had a dramatic impact on performance. The AutoFill "Offer to AutoFill Web (HTML) Forms" option is unchecked by default. However, if you check this option then web page load times increase by over 600%! I submitted a bug report to RoboForm support and they are working on the issue. It sounds like some performance tuning might be necessary.

Version: RoboForm 6.7
"Nothing Better - Save your valuable time"
Pros: This product has everything you need to shave hours off your Internet experience. The ability to save logins and passwords for all the places that you log into on the net is the core of this product. Data is saved securely on your hard drive. The folder can be easily backed up to a CDROM for archival purposes. In a network situation all PCs can be pointed to a shared data folder eliminating the need for any administration type person to update every single PC with the new passwords for logging into the site everyone uses. You also have the ability to have multiple identities and you can password the whole thing or individual records.
The next great feature is the form filler. ANY form on the net can be filled out with a single click of the mouse! The more information you give Roboform the less you have to type!!! Name, Address, Credit cards, security questions, all can be filled out without typing a single letter AND the deadly keylogger viruses are rendered useless if you get one because they are unable to track your valuable information because your not typing a thing!
Lastly, we have probably the most overlooked yet most needed feature for security and that is the Generator. Its sole purpose is to generate you a very cryptic password to use when you login into sites. You see most of us are guilty of using the same login name and password on various sites because we want to be able to remember what we used. With Roboform remembering this information for you can now use passwords that are very difficult to crack like 1BT51t75.
It is for these reasons and many more that you should download this product.
