Remember All Your Password Forever!

RoboForm is the top-rated Password Manager and Web Form Filler that completely automates password entering and form filling.

RoboForm was named PC Magazine Editor’s Choice, and CNET Download.com’s Software of the Year.

RoboForm allows you to:

• Manage your passwords and Log In automatically.
• Fill long registration and checkout forms with one click.
• Encrypt your passwords to achieve complete security.
• Generate random passwords to maximize password strength.
• Back up and Synchronize Passwords between computers.
• Fight Phishing and Defeat Keyloggers.

RoboForm works on Microsoft Windows XP, but also on both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista. It works well with User Account Control (UAC), not requiring a prompt for elevation other than to install or uninstall the application.

For non-English speakers, RoboForm includes support for many languages, including German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Lithuanian, Chinese, Korean, Danish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Hungarian, Croatian, Polish, Brazilian, Hebrew, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian (sb- and sc-), Japanese, Finnish, and Arabic. I did not evaluate the quality of support for languages other than English.

The street price is just under $30 for the professional version (Roboform Pro), and several options are available if you choose to buy more than one license. There is a free version as well, but it provides only a limited number of identities and password sets (called passcards). This review covers Roboform Pro, unless otherwise stipulated.

RoboForm’s key strength is that it is very easy to use, and tends to "just work." This, along with the built-in help system makes it an excellent candidate for a non-technical user. One downside to RoboForm’s ease of use is that field mappings between a web form and an identity are not customizable, other than the addition of new fields. However, in testing, this did not prove to be an issue and the ability to add new field mappings does allow some flexibility. Performing mappings yourself will require some knowledge of HTML, as you will need to extract the internal field names used by the web form. Overall, RoboForm’s core functions perform so well, it is difficult to find a clear weakness.
