RoboForm Pro Review

I use Roboform everyday and it works as described below and you will find even better ways to use it. This is truly a nobrainer.

RoboForm Pro 6.0 (formerly AI RoboForm), from Siber Systems, makes filling in Web forms and entering passwords both effortless and safe. Clicking on a Passcard navigates to a secure site and logs on automatically. The program stores various types of personal information in Identities and uses them to fill in Web forms automatically. You can even store non-computer-related secrets (such as bicycle lock combinations) using SafeNotes. With RoboForm, all you need to remember is the crucial master password.

When you start using RoboForm, it offers to record personal data in six categories (Personal, Business, Address, Credit Card, Bank Account, and Default Password) as well as in user-defined custom fields. You can enter as much or as little as you want, and you can create multiple instances of each type of data. Thereafter, one click automatically fills any matching fields on the current Web page; you can even set it up to fill forms automatically without asking.

RoboForm can import form-filling data from Gator as well as from Outlook and Outlook Express contacts. After importing, you can fill out forms using a contact’s data, such as the shipping address for an online gift purchase. The product can be configured to use several different languages and can even format data to match the country code of the page being filled.

This latest version exposes all its functions in a handy toolbar, replacing the sometimes annoying pop-up AutoFill window of previous versions (nostalgic users can retain the AutoFill pop-up). The toolbar integrates directly with Internet Explorer and floats below the main window of other browsers. Click on an Identity’s button to fill the current page, or choose from the list of Passcards to go directly to a secure site. Type a few letters in the search box and you’ll get a list of any Passcards or Identities that match as well as the option to jump into a Web search.

When you log on to a secure site for the first time, RoboForm offers to save a Passcard for that site. The Passcard navigates to the secure site, like a bookmark, but it also logs you on. We tried it on over 50 sites of various types and found only one that couldn’t be automated (an odd site with a dynamically generated URL for logging on). Even so, a single click logged us on after we navigated to the dynamic page. For a complex page with multiple log-on buttons, RoboForm can save the entire page’s data as a Passcard. The program can also handle basic authentication dialogs, like those used to log on to a remote computer or a router’s configuration utility. A new feature in this version is that RoboForm can generate strong passwords using letters, numbers, or special characters. It can even avoid look-alikes, such as zero and the capital letter O or the number 1 and lowercase l.

You’ll want to create folders to hold specific categories of Passcards. To move them into these folders, however, you must cut and paste them individually; there’s no option to drag and drop. Fortunately, you can choose a Passcard’s folder at creation time.

RoboForm encrypts and stores data locally, protecting it with a master password. Don’t lose that master password, as there’s no “back door” to recover it. The first time you use RoboForm in a given Windows session, it demands the master password. It won’t ask again until you log off. You can set it to log off automatically after a specified time or when the screen saver kicks in. You can use the program to print out lists of all Passcard, Identity, and SafeNote data, which you can store safely off-site.

RoboForm Pro 6.0 retains the intelligent field-matching ability of previous versions and adds a cleaner, simpler user interface. It masterfully handles filling in Web forms and logging on to secure sites. You’ll be amazed at how much you don’t have to type when RoboForm is on the job.
