It is ever so common for users to forget their password of any of their important accounts and thereby suffer the tedious process of having to recover them. Roboform, small yet powerful software, aims to make such woes a thing of the past.
As evident, RoboForm is a password management system which allows you to sign in to your online bank account or email or any other password protected services with ease.
Roboform is available in two flavors: the free basic version and the paid Pro version. Both these versions allow you to log in to any of your accounts automatically by remembering your password for that particular website. Also, with a single click, you can fill forms such as registration forms on web forums etc. All the passwords recorded in the software are stored in an encrypted form and therefore the users do not need to be concerned about the security and integrity of passwords.
Roboform saves the password information related to a particular site in a passcard. Whenever a user clicks on the link to that site, he can get logged in automatically. Users can also categorize the created passwords into specific categories and place them into their separate folders.
The free version of Roboform allows users to create only 10 such passcards and are thereby encouraged to upgrade to Pro version by paying $29.99 which allows users to create unlimited passcards and thereby allowing users to manage passwords more effectively.
Premium (Pro) users can also create multiple user profiles which can be very useful if a particular computer is used by more than one individual and with multiple profiles, password information of one user can be protected from being shared with the other.
My Experience:
I have been using Roboform Pro for more than a year now and can’t tell you how many hours I have gained by using this cool product. If you are a blogger who has to manage lots of advertising networks or an affiliate who has to manage affiliate networks, this is an ideal tool for you and for $29.99 it’s a bargain. You can now do away with the need for remembering passwords or putting them in some chit under your desk or opening a file every time you need a password. Do this investment, I am sure you won’t regret.

I purchased RoboForm Pro and regret ever installing it. First of all, after I tried to activate it, I got an error message from RoboForm’s server that the activate code was invalid, then I contacted RoboForm customer service and they verified my code and said to enter it again. It still didn’t work, so I decided to uninstall the program and it corrupted my system registry. Eventually my whole system became unstable with Error Code 1310 messages which is a sure sign of a corrupt registry caused by a destructive program that delted vital registry keys relating to the Windows Installer. Then I tried to use another program called RegCure to fix the registry and that only made my system even more unstable. I decided to just re-image my hard disk drive from an image backup I made two weeks ealier.
Thanks for sharing your experience David. Well, me and some of my friends have been using it for quite some time now and never faced such problems. May be your system had problems earlier that got compounded after installing Roboform?
David, while its unfortunate that you had to go through all this, I’d like to assure you that RoboForm does not affect the Windows Registry in anything close to what you describe. We have over 35 million downloads and such malware-like behavior would not allow us to get 5 stars from Download.com and multiple press accolades.
That said, please be assured that your license key is always valid and you may contact our support to ensure that you are able to activate now that your machine is back to normal working order.

There are a lot of these uncritical expressions of praise for Roboform on the web, probably by affiliates promoting it.
For anyone who takes a critical look at how Roboform works and, in particular, a look in the folder where all the “secret” login data is stored, they may be horrified to find the amount of private information given away by the names of the files stored there.
Each login is stored in a separate file and, while the password itself is indeed stored encrypted inside each file, the name of the file in plain view usually gives away the exact name of the service it relates to (Twitter, adult web site, etc) so anyone looking there can see what sites you use, and also give away the login name you use for that site – often an e-mail address, depending on the site.
So Roboform allows anyone looking at your PC to see quite a bit of information about what sites you visit and how you log into them.
It is possible to re-name these Roboform files so that this information is less obvious but then you are confronted with the problem that your list of logins as viewed inside Roboform contains illogically-named entries that are hard to recognise and hard to manage.
I wish people would be a bit more discriminating before uncritically promoting “security” products that have weak security.
Thanks for your comment. These security loopholes were not known to us. Probably Roboform guys can better answer the points raised by you.
As far as the review is concerned, It has actually helped us improving productivity that was the reason we have blogged about it. You will only find those products reviewed on this blog which has/will appeal to us.
OtherIssues, I have responded to this criticism of yours in multiple previous locations. See here for just one example: http://www.thetechherald.com/article.php/200930/4090
As always, I invite you to respond either online or offline at my email s2davis (at) roboform [dot] com
