Here is PCMag's Review from 4/26: Link

4 out of 5 stars
Biggest Con was that the form filler/recorder didnt always work and the lack of a built in password generator

Seems kinda interesting ... I've been considering a password manager application for awhile now, I'll have to consider this one as well.

FYI ... its free through October 1, 2012


Keepass. Multiplatform, open source.


I like LastPass personally


+1 for LastPass


is this the same as norton web lite???


Appreciate the alternative suggestions but has anyone recommending them tried and used the OP one before making the comment? Thanks.


Roboform rules... been a user for several years now.


None of the alternatives mentioned fill forms for free.

Lastpass fills forms.


dhilpert said:   None of the alternatives mentioned fill forms for free.

Hmmm...actually BOTH Keypass and Lastpass mentioned above do fill in forms for free.


"Download by October 1, 2012 and enjoy it FREE of charge forever. " Source = website OP linked to


So oddly enough I get norton 360 through my ISP (comcrap), and it won't let me install it with that on it. I guess no free of charge forever for me unless I try to install it on a virtual pc


I had it free with a N360 version of 2010 I believe which expired. The newest version does not accept the older versions import. So now I have a file with all my logins which is dependent on Norton and their software policies of updating, changing and forcing you to switch to different software. I switched to LastPass have been happy ever since that debacle.

YES! + iPhone + Android + Mac OS + Linux + many others!


ymarker said:   "Download by October 1, 2012 and enjoy it FREE of charge forever. " Source = website OP linked to
Download by Oct 1 AND install by Oct 1, or download by Oct 1 and install after that are different?


that's funny it does not work on this site if your using Chrome!


CON:
47MB of installation files.
Need to create two passwords (for web and safe)
Need to login at Norton Website
Installed Norton Identity Safe Toobar on IE
Tried to install Norton Identity Safe Toobar in Firefox

This password manager is totally BLOATWARE! Nothing good can come from Norton or McAfee.
Had to uninstall it!


Hmmm...What is the difference between these programs and just saving passwords in on a MAC in Safari?


Roboform user for many years. Well worth it.


Great Find. Thanks.

Yeah I see roboform is much nicer, plays well with all ans only 9 bucks not bad .. think I'm going to try it..


Not to hijack the thread, but I'm also a long-time extremely satisfied user of RoboForm. They have Several Versions, Desktop, Portable (on USB or portable drive), or Everywhere (synchronizes your RoboForm info to all your internet-connected devices). RoboForm works with all or nearly all platforms from what I see.

Love their Form Filler, in addition to the 80-90 website logins/passwords I have saved. (Edit: AND many I use on a regular basis, making my life cake).

I've had Desktop version for a couple of years, but I'm considering Roboform Anywhere, that'll keep my 2 business Desktops & Tablet and personal Desktop & Laptop (5 total devices) all synchronized automatically, via Internet, real-time. Downside of Everywhere version is it's $19.99/yr. Currently, they're offering 1 year for $9.99 though.


bhoup said:   Hmmm...What is the difference between these programs and just saving passwords in on a MAC in Safari?

Not a Mac user, but my bet is the difference is that RoboForm will take you to the website you want, then input login info, taking you to your logged-in account ... ALL from the press of 2 buttons ... saving you from having to type in every web address.


I've been using LastPass for several years and highly recommend it.


It says it works on chrome,
Does that mean it works on Logitech Revue. ( google tv )

Load how ? USB drive

Agreed!


I would recommend RoboForm - it is not free but well worth every penny.


LASTPASS. Beats all other by a mile. I try all of them. It only cost money if you use across platforms (pc and phone).

It fills forms and recognize sites and pw logins better then all other ones.

Out of all the sites i have to sign in too...the only one i can't use lastpass is ING.


Just as an FYI. Lot of people recommend Lastpass. yes it is convenient and useful but has limitations in terms of security. It has been hacked once. They claim nothing was taken.

I use it for non-important stuff.


Any way around the annual fee for RoboForm Everywhere? I like the idea of accessing the passwords from any of my devices. Thought I'd ask the experienced RoboForm users before downloading.

I was initially intrigued by the Norton offer but do beleive the day will come when they will force me to pay something for the "free" download...


lastpass

I don't like Norton - too much bloat, so I just installed Lastpass. Thanks for the headsup about the hacking incident.


Norton= Bloatware
Lastpass= Was hacked in past, cant be trustworthy anymore
Roboform= cost 9 bucks, but is very secure and many more features


anndesikis said:   Norton= Bloatware

While I hear ya, I'm not certain I'd rule out Lastpass for being hacked ONCE. I'd think that they'd step up security OR risk further damaging their reputation. Besides, the FBI has even been hacked by Computer Geeks. If they can be hacked, anything can ...


A little off topic, but can you tell me if any of these programs can fill automatically almost identical forms in different websites such as these for job applications for faculty/staff position for colleges and universities? These sites require lots of info such as few pages of experiance, education etc, but are almost identical.


I used Roboform for YEARS. Purchased a couple of lifetime licenses for a couple of PC's. Then last year, they retro-actively changed their license they sold to EVERYONE. Now, you can no longer upgrade the application using the old license that was supposed to be for a lifetime. VERY lame practice. In fact, illegal. Some folks put up a fight & got a new license, some just got a free year of service & some got completely denied. I didn't feel like fighting & just wrote the company off forever. I don't deal with companies with shady (illegal) business practices. I now use Lastpass & it works great. Was even able to import all my passwords, although the import didn't work perfectly & had to tweak many saved passwords for them to work on web sites correctly.


Be careful with RoboForm Everywhere.
All of your username and password info is stored on THEIR servers, so it can be accessed "EVERYWHERE".
Yes, it is encrypted of course, (and your Master Password is not stored by them)... but LastPass had some security breach issues.
RoboForm can be just as susceptible.

Some good info here from a RoboForm VP: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-20061445-83.html

For my money, RoboForm's USB version is the safest.
- Nothing sits on your machine.
- Gets cleaned up when you logoff.
- Can take it with you.
