Has anyone used this? I love it!

There is a free version and a pay version (Roboform Pro).
It fills in forms, user names, passwords.
Once you use it you can't go back to remembering all that info and putting it in manually.

Check out: www.roboform.com

I've used it for a year or so. It's pretty cool. I let it generate passwords for me... which is good because they're strong... bad because I have no idea what they are and can't just pop on someone's computer to check a site I need to log on to. :-)

(Thank goodness for remote desktop.)

I do my own passwords--but because I have so many I print a hard copy for backup.

opera actually does the same stuff better with the wand with no compatability or performance hit

If someone hacks into your computer would they be able to get your private info from Roboform or other programs like that?

Use a strong password to protect your Roboform library, and you're probably as OK as you are with a printout next to the computer of all your passwords.

The whole point of Roboform and their ilk is to free you from having to remember your passwords, let the machine handle it...

From their FAQ:

Q: If somebody steals my computer with RoboForm on it, can they get into my accounts?

A: If you password-protect all sensitive passcards and identities and then it will be very difficult. Specifically, all password-protected passcards and identities are stored in files that are encrypted by your Master Password using DES or 3DES. So a person who stole your computer or password files, will have to break AES or 3DES in order to get your passwords from passcards.
As long as you observe these rules, it should be very hard to use the stolen info:

* Password-protect all sensitive Passcards and Identities. Anyone can see and use Passcard or Identity that is not password-protected.

* Make your Master Password long enough and un-obvious enough, so that it cannot be defeated by a simple dictionary attack. Do not use any words or names from any widely used languages, make your Master Password at least 10 characters long.

* Use 3DES for encryption, it is harder to break than DES.

I don't have a Master Password for Roboform--how do I get one?


Ignore this--I just read the FAQ--and got the answer.
