One of the most tedious aspects of online shopping and logins is the laborious process of going through the shopping cart hoops and filling out the forms with all the required information. Well, that’s no longer an issue with RoboForm. This handy application remembers all your stuff and will automatically complete all the fields in any form with the single click of a mouse. I honestly think I would give up online shopping if it were not for RoboForm.
All you have to do is complete a RoboForm profile. It stores your info and can regurgitate it next time you need to fill out a form. It’s a pleasure to behold. It even remembers stuff like credit card information and expiration dates and puts it in the proper field flawlessly.
It allows you to have several profiles of completion data for your personal forms and another for you business, businesses, or another for your spouse. It conveniently provides for multiple users too.
What about security you say? No problem it is a multifaceted, secure, encrypted system that you can password protect. It will generate a secure password for you if you wish. You can actually password protect any fields you specify. You can create a master password before you enter the program if you wish.
RoboForm also has a Safenotes utility where you can store sensitive information securely. This is like having a secure electronic wallet for safely storing credit card information, bank accounts, passwords, insurance, IRS information and more. People pay good money for standalone programs like this, but it’s included free with RoboForm.
Form completion is not the only function that RoboForm fulfills. It will put your passwords on speed dial and automatically log you into a Website. For this purpose it creates a set of Passcards with the appropriate data for even multi-step login sites. It will also adjust for turing fields that you have to complete manually before submitting.
All you have to do is complete the login procedure as you normally would, and a Passcard window will automatically popup giving you the choice to password protect the login information or not. RoboForm creates a Passcard for this login and adds it to the list. Next time you want to login to this site, just click on it in the list.
Other nice features of RoboForm include a backup and restore function and a search box that allows you to create a SearchCard so that you can get back to that place easily. For instance, suppose you have a favorite spot or shopping place you found in Google Maps. Just create a SearchCard for it, and RoboForm will remember it and get you back there quickly.
What I particularly appreciate about RoboForm is that it places all its functionality on your Web browser in the form of a toolbar that you can make appear or disappear. I leave mine there permanently for instant access. RoboForm allows you to place an upper toolbar at the top of the page and lower toolbar at the bottom of the page if you wish. I can’t even imagine cruising the Internet without the help of RoboForm anymore. It has become an indispensible tool in my arsenal.
If you are a mobile type on the go a lot, you can use RoboForm2Go that runs from a USB thumb drive that can be plugged into any laptop or desktop computer. You can synchronize data between computers using GoodSync, another RoboForm product.
The really good news is that RoboForm is also phone friendly. RoboForm supports Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian and Blackberry platforms. You will need GoodSync to sync data with a handheld device, which I highly recommend. The mobile versions have all of the same functionality of RoboForm Pro discussed above. What a godsend as more people use their PDAs for online shopping and more sites offer optimizations for small screen viewing. It is a digital native’s dream come true.
I had no idea what to expect to pay for such a powerful and useful multifaceted and indispensible tool. So,I was delighted to learn that it costs $29.95 for a license. A second license runs $9.95. RoboForm2Go is only $19.95. RoboForm for Palm is $9.95, but it’s free for Windows Mobile for some reason. Contact the company for discounted multiple licenses. You can try it out for free if you wish, but I cannot imagine anyone not wanting to have this amazing online solution.
