1.0 out of 5 stars Greedy Company! December 23, 2010

By D. Hightower

Beware -- Siber Systems has changed their licensing scheme!!

I have been a Roboform users for 4 years now. I have 3 Roboform2Go licenses and 4 desktop Roboform licenses...but it ends today.

If you are a current user of Roboform version 6, your terms of use indicated "free upgrades for life"; however, Siber Systems has completely abrogated that agreement, as you now have to pay for upgrades...and as of version 7, you now have to pay an annual fee if you want to be able to use synchronization across your computers.

I agree that companies need a stream of income -- but there is a right way to do it and a wrong way.

Slysoft did it right -- "we made a promise to our current customers, we'll keep that promise." New customers agree to the new terms, and are aware of the costs...but I agreed to a different set of terms, and they are honoring that.

Siber Systems will soon be relegated to obscurity -- they apparently have no idea how strong word-of-mouth advertising is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally ... Relief for Password Overload February 29, 2008

By MJS81

It seems like you have to have passwords for everything these days and more and more often there are increasingly unique requirements for the passwords ... case senstive, number of characters, special characters required vs. not allowed. How all the sites, companies and such expect us mere mortals to remember all these passwords is beyond me. After takign on a new work role and being inundated with literally a dozen or more new requirements for passwords, I decided that I had to find some help. I reviewed a variety of professional and user reviews of different software applications and eventually settled on Roboform and am glad that I did.

I had used FireFox's password manager and liked it but it only worked with Firefox and some of the sites I use had to be used with Internet Explorer. RoboForm works with both. Plus, you can go in and actually see the unencrypted passwords, print out the password, create a profile for completing on-line forms and much more. It was easy to install and set up ... very intuitive. They have a demo that you can run through quickly upon set up which gives you the basic how-to's and from there I was able to do everything I needed. It remembers the passwords and other logon info when you enter it the first time ... and then populates it at the click of a button the next time you're there. It'll also populate forms and such. I like that it only populates these fields when you click the button to tell it to ... as oppose to automatically doing it (since there's times that you don't want it to auto-complete forms and such).

The real test was when my computer started to die and I had to re-install on a new laptop. I figured that I was safe because I could print out my passwords and would just have to re-enter again the first time.... But, instead, I was able to copy over the password file to the new computer and pick right up where I was without having to re-enter any passwords.

I give roboform high marks overall ... it's certainly made my password management a lot easier! Highly recommend Roboform. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars Jim's Roboform Password Manager Review July 19, 2008

This product performs just as advertised, and does it efficiently. It doesn't handle all my password situations, however, such as when the User ID and Password have to entered sequentially rather than simultaneously.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dishonest Company August 19, 2011

By SoundMix

I purchased version 6 and was promised free upgrade for life. Along comes version 7 and no more free upgrades.

Many have lodged complaints (BBB and others) against this company for bad business practices.

Get a free program or use Norton which has a password manager intergrated and works better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of forced upgrade to RoboForm Pro February 23, 2009

By Harry Myers

I purchased RoboForm Password Manager on 12/26/08. I received it on 1/20/09. I used it for a month without a problem. After a month, the program said that the trial period for my free version was over, and that I had to pay $29.99 to upgrade to RoboForm Pro. My version was not a free version. I paid Amazon $25 for a real version of the software that came in a retail box.

I was not interested in spending another $30 on this program, but the program would now only support 10 passwords (I had entered about 25). I contacted RoboForm to find out what was going on. I gave them my name, address, phone number, email address, Amazon order number and credit card information, but they could not find me in their records, and refused to help me.

While all of this was going on I started having a problem logging in to ebay. Ebay claimed my password was invalid. I tried bypassing RoboForm and entering it manually, but it still wouldn't work. I could go to another computer however, and login just fine. The only thing different was RoboForm. I uninstalled the program, and guess what? My ebay login problem disappeared.

Since RoboForm wouldn't work with me, I asked Amazon for a refund. I was out of their refund window by 3 days (since the product worked for a month), but they gave me a credit anyway. Amazon gets 5 stars, RoboForm gets 1.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Roboform March 25, 2011

By makerofmobiles

Everyone beware of Roboform. They sell you software for automating your passwords then change the rules on you. I had no intentions of upgrading to version 7 (the previous so-called upgrades were free and they made it seem like a lifetime purchase) and now version 6 does not work with new versions of browsers so you cannot even login to the sites where you used Roboform to create accounts and change your password again. They have made it a giant pain for former customers to get out of using their software.

Do NOT buy Roboform!
