RoboForm was awarded the prestigious Editor’s Choice Award by PC Magazine on May 25, 2005.
What is RoboForm?
RoboForm saves online passwords into what we call a Passcard. Once the password is saved, RoboForm will offer to fill it when you visit the login page again.
Bookmark.
Same as Netscape bookmark or Internet Explorer Favorite. Has a long text note to be used for site notes. Bookmarks are shown together with Passcards, as they are a variation of Passcards.
Identity.
RoboForm can fill long non-password forms (such as registration or checkout form) from your personal profile that we call an Identity. You fill in your Identity once with all your personal data and then RoboForm will enter this data into web page forms for you.
Contact.
RoboForm can also be used as an Address Book. Each entry in this Address Book is called a Contact. Contact is an Identity with fewer fields that is not used in form filling, instead it is used to lookup other people personal data. Contacts are shown together with Identities, as Contact is just a small Identity.
Safenote.
You can store often used secret and non-secret text fragment in what we call a Safenote. Safenote provides safe storage for important passwords that are not automatically stored in Passcards and for other sensitive or often used information such as ATM passwords and lock key combinations.
Folder.
All of the above file can be categorized using Folders — same as Windows Files Folders. You can build a tree-like structure using folders and stuff it with your Passcards, Bookmarks, Identities, Contacts and Safenotes.

I’ve been using Roboform now for about a month. I LOVE it! As a busy web designer and marketer I have soo many passwords and logins to remember!! I am currently at 100 different logins and growing! With Roboform I just need to add the information once and Roboform saves it. Sweet! It also saves the URL in favorites. Jumping in and out of projects all day is now such a breeze! OK, now that I’ve ranted on and praised Roboform, try the FREE trail. And yes, I make a buck or two if and when you buy a user license. Thanks!
