Your files are stored as &#8220;flat&#8221; text files on your computer, so prying eyes or malicious users can easily see all your logins. <\/p>\n<p>RoboForm, on the other hand, uses <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roboform.com\/features.html#security\">strong encryption<\/a> to protect all your logins. Oh yeah, and you <strong>access them all with a single master password<\/strong>, so no more trying to remember what login you used on what site. Now it doesn&#8217;t matter.<\/p>\n<p>Use RoboForm to do all of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatically &#038; securely store all of your online logins in one place.<\/li>\n<li>Protect &#038; unlock everything with one password.<\/li>\n<li>Use identities to pre-populate any online form with your contact info, billing details, email address, and more (boring form entry be gone!).<\/li>\n<li>Create &#038; store SafeNotes for managing secure snippets of important text (bank account numbers, lock combinations, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Generate secure passwords for creating new site logins (and then RoboForm automatically remembers them for you).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Along with all of this awesomeness, RoboForm <strong>stores the URL<\/strong> associated with each of your logins, so you can even tell RoboForm to <strong>go to a particular site and login in a single action<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>My favorite feature is the RoboForm search box:<\/p>\n<p><center><img src='http:\/\/gabeanderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/snag-1806.png' alt='RoboForm Search Box' \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Just click in the box, type in the name of the site you want to visit, hit enter, and RoboForm does the rest:<\/p>\n<p><center><img src='http:\/\/gabeanderson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/02\/snag-1808.png' alt='RoboForm Search Box' \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The one drawback of RoboForm is that it currently does not support filling in of Flash-based login and registration forms, which are becoming more common these days, but RoboForm support has assured me that their next major release will support Flash forms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite simply, RoboForm is the best password manager utility out there.
