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.
