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

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.

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

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.

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.
