The developers have integrated many convenient features into RoboForm. Users can furthermore log in on the RoboForm website to access their login data online, even if the program itself is not installed on the computer system. All it takes is to install RoboForm on all systems and to log in with the same account information. The benefit here is that it is easier to synchronize data between multiple computer systems. RoboForm Everywhere offers to save passwords and data in the cloud.
Individual shortcuts can be edited or turned off in the RoboForm Options. Shortcuts are available for all core functionality. Alt-X for instance opens the login menu with options to create a new login, edit an existing login or log in to one of the existing web sites or services. This basically can be used to open menus directly in the browser. RoboForm shortcuts are automatically enabled in supported browsers (with an option to disable the feature in the preferences). A similar option is available for text field form data which can be automatically saved with the shortcut Shift-Enter. Users can force the saving of data by Alt-clicking on the login button. The program display a prompt offering to save the login data. RoboForm will automatically recognize new sign ups and first time log ins on websites. It is for instance possible to select the Fill Forms option to fill out the username and password, and to optionally log in automatically on the site. The customization can be used to add links like the program's password generator, the RoboForm Editor or a log off option to the context menu.Ī right-click on a web page opens the context menu with all set options. The customize menu option offers to add or remove menu items. Options to fill and save forms, to display the RoboForm toolbar and to customize the menu are displayed by default.
Part of the RoboForm functionality is also available via the right-click menu. Most users on the other hand may prefer not to have an additional toolbar displayed in their browser. Toolbar users have all options in reach with just a single click. Once you have set up the program you are ready to make use of it.
One interesting option provided by the RoboForm Editor is the ability to sign in into one or multiple web services from the editor window. You can create new logins either in one of the supported web browsers (by logging in to the service that you want to save) or by right-clicking on the password manager's system tray icon and selecting Logins > New from the context menu. It feels strange that it is not possible to add login data directly to the editor.
The editor can be used to edit existing data, create folders to organize the data and to add identities, contacts and safe notes to the program. Roboform ships with an editor for organizing and managing logins, bookmarks, identities, contacts and notes. Once the master password is entered correctly, access to the program database is granted. A master password protects the data from being stolen or looked at. Passwords and other data are stored in encrypted form by the application. Users who work with different programs or browsers can still use the RoboForm interface to store and retrieve passwords manually. The program integrates well with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera. RoboForm is a password manager for Windows, Mac OS X and various mobile operating systems like Android that makes life easier and more secure. If you want to use a different browser or a different device, you need to find a way to transfer the data to that other system, which may not be possible all the time. Web browsers offer basic password managers that store the data for the user, but this means that the data is only available in that browser. Especially so if you follow security guidelines to never use the same password on different sites. Keeping track of online accounts is not necessarily an easy task.
