RoboForm also has a portable version which can be installed on a USB thumbdrive. I find it very useful for traveling.
The big thing that separates RoboForm from other password safes is it doesn't just remember the passwords, it installs as a browser toolbar and takes you directly to the website and logs you in with a single click--opening the site and filling in both user name and password. The portable version does this on any computer you stick the thumbdrive in.
As a bonus, it also generates secure passwords up to 511 characters long.
While Firefox 3.6 says it doesn't work with that version, I've had no problems.

Roboform is the best! I have the program on both my Desktop and my Laptop for over 2 years and rely on it completely. At age 72, I am very active on both my computers for business, research, shopping, as well as friends/family communication. It's a good buy, for what it does!

I have used RoboForm for a couple of years. I have it installed on one desktop, one notebook and on a USB drive which I use for my netbook and on other computers.

RoboForm is simply great and I also use GoodSync PRO (also by SiberSystems) to synchronize my computers and the passwords between them.

One component of RoboForm that was not mentioned in this article is the "Safe Notes" which is also useful.

I completely enjoy reading the articles on Ask Leo. Keep up the good work!

Roboform is also available on-line. You create an online account (usual login/password) and then you can access your passwords etc by supplying your Robofrom password.
This service is included with Roboform and automatically sychronizes with your browser. This may help others as well as the original caller using a Mac.
I know this means giving your passwords to the cloud but you have to trust someone - don't you?!

But, Gil, KeePass's (or just about any other program's, for that matter) database location can be personalized to taste, too. So, what's the real problem...?

I think all of the applications mentioned in the article and in the comments are fine programs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think every last one of them store your data in a database.

A database, when written in a general manner, just doesn't do the job.

Several years ago I was looking for a program like mentioned in this article. I tested several then and even now I'll give one a whirl. But nothing beats what I use.....

......Microsoft Access! That's right - an application by that M company. Why do I like it so much? I was able to create all the fields and field lengths/definitions that met my specific needs. When a new field is needed - I just add it to the database. I then use what Leo has described - encrypt the file onto a virtual drive.

If I so desire, that file can be on my desktop, my laptop, a USB drive or any combination of the three that I may be using that day.

That's really my biggest knock against these commerical products. While it's true that there are features they offer that I don't have - they are features I can gladly live without. The bottom line is that I know my information is stored securely, convenient, and easily personalized.

Thanks Leo for another great topic to discuss!

U Rock!!

I use the program KeePass v2.09, which is available at:

https://www.keepass.info

It has most of the features you mentioned (not all), encrypts its database using either AES or Twofish, and -- best of all -- it's FREE!

Enjoy! :)

Hi all,
what about the built-in biometric scanners? Very common in notebooks, at least for the past few years. I'm using a HP 8510 which features an AuthenTec Inc. AES2501A fingerprint sensor, accompanied by the HO software. It has all the advantages of the described products - and as a plus: it doesn't even need a master password... just swipe your finger. Work also for the Windows logon screen, of course.
Not very sure about hte encryption level, I guess it's described on HP's website.

Now why would i need a PAID program to do what the Wand from the Opera browser does much better for free?
To all who have asked: Wand stores the passwords in an encrypted file, it automatically recognizes the login pages and offer the possibility to choose between different ones or to memorize a new one, the passwords are never in the clear and all can be very easily edited. And all that is by default.

Leo,
Just finished your article about Roboform. I retired from HP about 10 years ago and keep up with current technology as much as I can. Recently found your site and subscribed to the e-mails.
I have been using a password pgm called Last Pass. Sounds very much like robeform which I will check out to see if it is more beneficial than last Pass.

Leo,
I wish you'd check out a password program that does not store anything anywhere and yet allows you to use extremely secure passwords. See cloakpass.com because it really works and will protect against most bad situations. It's free.

I have been using RoboForm for years, but had always been concerned with the safety of preventing access to my log on information. That is until, I began using Cryptainer (a free encrypted virtual drive program). I have since, changed to using Safehouse for the same purpose. Using either one, I simply move the Roboform data folder into the encypted drive and direct RoboForm to get its data from there. With either encypted virtual drive program, the drive and the data it contains is not visible until I sign into the drive and install it. When I log off the drive or shut down my computer, the drive is no longer there and RoboForm has no data to work with.

This is exactly what I do, using TrueCrypt.

Here's a second (or more? I'm not clicking "see all 21") for LastPass. I'm now using the extension-laden Chrome, with LastPass + Xmarks - both available for Firefox, so completely x-platform, if you so choose - and they're invaluable for completely syncing all my loot.

I figured it out - no thanks to the "help" or FAQ at Roboform. What you do is Click on your Roboform icon thing, drop down to Identities, Print List, Put in your Master Pasword, Choose Passcards from menu bar, font, columns and then Preview. Voila! Keep in a Vault!!

but how can you see the passwords again once they have been turned into ...... things? Ireally need to do this to get out of some sites and deactivate them but can't "see" the password.

In Roboform if you right click on the passcard in the drop down menu one of the options is "Edit" - that will show you the password.

in reply to samuel davis iI have used Roboform on linux- Ubuntu, if I remember correctly. I can't say it works on all versions- and I did have it on Firefox, not the built-in browser.
Secondly, I've tried pretty much them all. I paid for the full version of Roboform and can recommend it. In fact, if you do any online banking, shopping etcetera, it is a must. It's only failing, which is its main security feature is that lost information due to crashes, forgotten main password is unrecoverable. But passwords can be reset. Lost money/identities cannot! (Well, not easily, anyway).

Roboform is safe and dead simple to use. I initially tried the free version and quickly learned what a powerful program it is. Been using it for years now and couldn't imagine going without it today. Nothing else I tried/used was near as convenient.

I have been using the free version of Access Manager by Citi-Software Ltd. It's very easy to use with the drag and drop feature which loads the password as you drop the user name. You can create your own password or the program will generate a unique one for you, using numbers, alpha characters (lower and upper case), and symbols in any combination. And the program provides the option of generating a printout of the password database if you choose to do so.

the way you enter passwords into roboform is to visit the site and log in. roboform will capture the url and sign-on data (user id, password etc). it's that simple.

I've used Roboform for several years now and it is one of the two reasons I have not moved over to Linux entirely (Mozy backup is the other). I know there are other password programs out there, but that doesn't make me like them any better. :)

However, just because Roboform doesn't currently support Linux is no reason not to pepper them with questions about it! If they notice a strong enough demand for it, they may finally cave and develop one.

There are rumours that someone got Roboform to work on Linux with Wine, but I've never gotten that to work correctly.

Roboform does NOT do Linux and has NO PLANS to support LInux! If you want to run it on Vista, you have to have the 32 bit, as they haven't developed a 64 bit yet.

I'm looking for a Linux password keeper similar to Roboform also! As I am tired of all the crap Windows does!

I use KeePass Password Safe. It is open source and cross platform (Windows, Linux, Mac). It fits my needs and does the job its supposed to do. It's not quite as conventient as RoboForm, but its completely open-source/freeware and is cross platform.

Hi Leo, how about a completely free and unlimited version of AI Roboform? The following review will provide you with a link to an older freeware version that is not crippled after 30 days. Just remember never to update it if it offers to do so.
