If you spend as much time in cyberspace as I do, you need Roboform. I have absolutely no qualms about unabashedly promoting a technology that is so incredibly effective and a major time and energy saver.

Up until Roboform, I saved all my usernames and passwords manually. I haven't counted them, but it's safe to say I'm registered with over 300 websites. I've filled out dozens of profiles and am forever filling out forms for one reason or another. Each login is managed with a simple click of a mouse. Plus, Roboform lets you customize form fields beyond just username and password.  Some forms are quite complex.  Imagine filling out a job application with a single click.

If you're like me, you use the same username and password all the time just because it's impossible to remember multiple names and passwords. However, using the same login all the time is dangerous security-wise. Roboform solves that problem as well with a password generator. A single master password secures all your other passwords, and you can check a box and not have to enter the master if that's more convenient for you.

Manageability doesn't stop there. With Roboform-To-Go, you can store everything on a thumb drive and go mobile. Roboform syncs across multiple browsers and PCs. The most convenient tool of all is the floating toolbar that automatically reads the site you just surfed to. The name of the site appears in the toolbar and you just click on it to enter the data.

The real security vulnerability is with your own computer and malware that can log your keystrokes or take screenshots. Roboform is fully encrypted. You can feel safe with every login. You can install the program on as many computers and mobile devices as you like while keeping all your data fully synced. When you come to a new site, as soon as you enter the new user data info, Roboform saves it.
