Easily keep track of your passwords
Thought I’d pass this one along to those of you who don’t know about it. This tool is now my favorite tool on my computer. It has saved me so much time and made my life so much easier, it’s ridiculous.
If you’re like me, keeping track of passwords and user login information is a challenge. At last count I had 70 different usernames and different passwords for various websites. Trying to remember them all was silly. But I started using a tool that makes it very easy to keep track of ALL your login infromation and passwords - securely. It’s called Roboform. And to keep track of your usernames and passwords for up to 10 websites, it’s FREE to use!! If you have different usernames and passwords for more than 10 sites then you’ll have to buy a license ($29.95), but it’s SO worth it. Why?
2 reasons why I like Roboform so much:
1) It’s a toolbar that runs on Internet Explorer and Firefox and it remembers ALL your username and all your passwords automatically. If you go to login to Google for example, Roboform recognizes it and can fill out the form and login for you. And to make it even easier, you can just go to the logins button on the Roboform Toolbar and it will show you a list of all the websites you are a member of, and you can just click the one you want to go to. It takes you to the site and logs you in with only one click.
2) It can automatically fill out forms for you. If you’ve ever had to fill out a form more than once, Roboform makes it a snap. It even has custom fields so special form data can also be stored.
So for only $29.95, it’s a no brainer. Also there is an option to put roboform on a USB key, which means if you have more than one computer, you can take roboform with you. And to top it off, they even offer tutorials for how to use it, although it’s very easy to use (because it’s mostly automatic).
Anyway, as you can tell, I am a big fan and highly recommend it (not to mention it was PC Magazines Editors choice and CNET’s Software of the Year winner), it will save you time and typing…

I agree entirely! I couldn’t live without RoboForm, seriously. I have a few hundred websites that need login information, I could never remember that many passwords. Even if I used a program like Keepass, I’d need to constantly switch applications to copy-n-paste the password.
When I switched to mac, I couldn’t find anything like RoboForm so I wrote 1Passwd. Those running from Windows to Mac will want to give it a go
