Roboform

[puzzled?]

can anyone help with a question i have about robo form, my free trial period has expired, is it worth buying roboform pro or can you carry on using more than 10 passcards , as it says we are only allowed to use the 10, would be grateful for any help, thank you.

Never heard of roboform but if it say you are only allowed to use 10 then there's your answer.

[puzzled?]

lol, you must be the only person i've seen thats never heard of it

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Search/default. asp?SearchText=roboform&searchType=site&x=15&y =11

plenty of questions in the site about it & everyone uses it for filling in forms

if you don't know anything about it , why bother answering lol

puzzled - if you are using it properly, find a good use for all its functions then it may be worth the money for you.

It is totally useless for me, mainly because I log in from different pcs, and of course RoboForm isn't web-based.

OOOOH!

If the thing says you are only allowed to use 10 passes then why ask if you can use more, numbnuts?

[rojash]

I use it, but I must say, only because I kind of fell into the habit, and can't be bothered to sort out a replacement.

It's actually very flaky, and on sites that use a captcha check to see if it's a real human logging in, it fails completely.

It also has a habit of filling in credit card info using a mixture from my various cards (like the number of one, the expiry date of another) which causes endless problems.

The free trial is 10 passes, the full version is unlimited.

Cheers Ethel.
I can't see why the guy thinks he can carry on using it if his trial has expired.

[puzzled?]

thank you ethel & rojash, i'm only just leaning about it so was very grateful for your help, we all have to learn to start somewhere lol.

another-view - i hope one day you might need some help for something and just get a sarcastic reply like you sent me , good luck that you are so clever, and for your information i am a girl not a guy !

[another-view]

What was sarcastic? The software says you can use 10 passcards, so why ask if you can use more?

Did your beloved roboform ask the same question twice?

go crawl back in your corner another-view , i've got better things to do than read your sarcastic remarks , have a good night

[another-view]

To be honest, I thought you were a girl asking such a dumb question. Go get your boyfriend to have a look at it and he'll tell you the same as I did.

Read the thread again, the first arsy comment came from you.

another-view, I`ve found several of your answers sarcastic, and some downright rude, not sure if you`re really a newbie, but I wouldn`t like you to answer any of my questions.
If you can`t give a constructive reply, don`t bother.
There are many more intelligent people on this site who have the courtesy to reply, with a bit of respect.

[Rtaxron]

I use it all the time. Iit says do you want to pay after so many times, but I say no, but it still fills in my address etc.
I have never given my credit card number or passwords to them.

[scaniavabis]

I use Roboform, have done for a long time and bought the pro edition just because it's quicker to log in when you don't have to type anything.

The another-view bloke has been answering every other question on AB all day, none of them constructive. The mans obviously a complete a*se. Like you say, if you don't know the answer then why bother answering? Nothing better to do perhaps, how sad..

[fo3nix]

I don't use it, and I wouldn't.

This kind of product has to be open source for it to be at all secure. Right now, you have no idea if it's storing your passwords properly or not, let alone the risks of backdoors.

On Windows I use KeePass. It does basically the same thing, is free and open source, and has been checked out by some industry professionals I trust to do their job well.

Carry it on a USB stick, and you can use it from any computer. KeePassX is the Unix-variant for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux systems, etc.

[whiskeryron]

Having downloaded Roboform & not used it yet,I'm not happy with what I have read about it on this site.Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it.TIA.

[whiskeryron]

Sorry folks,I've just found the uninstall button.

[puzzled?]

thank you all who replied and helped me, we all have to learn and start somewhere & your views were very helpful,
thank you for the link fo3nix , i will be looking into that one as well :)

[fo3nix]

Another alternative, if you're sticking on Windows only, is Password Safe. Leaner and simpler, but with a few less features (hence why I use KeePass).

Password Safe was originally co-written by Bruce Schneier, legendary cryptography god.
