RoboForm 9.7.7

Overview

RoboForm is an incredibly useful password manager software that securely stores personal details, passwords, and login credentials to make logging in and out of online and off-line accounts easier than ever before. If you're constantly wasting your time filling out web forms with the same information repetitively, RoboForm 7.6.4 could be the solution to your problems.

Installation

The installation process is simple and friendly, but there are a few options you'll need to be aware of. First, you'll need to determine which programs you want RoboForm to store and/or import data from. After asking you which applications/browsers you would like RoboForm to automatically remember information from, the software will warn you that any conflicting programs will need to be closed before continuing. You'll also be asked whether you want your RoboForm data to be shared only on your computer, or through your online RoboForm account as well, based on your privacy preferences.

Interface

RoboForm has always been known for having an extremely user-friendly interface, and version 7.6.4 is no exception, with six sidebar tabs that provide easy access to all of the software's features – Logins, Bookmarks, Applications, Identities, Contacts, and Safe Notes. You can also click the 'All' tab to display all of the aforementioned data/features simultaneously. In the top left corner, the RoboForm button provides access to your options and settings.

Alternatives

While RoboForm is considered to be the most prominent password manager software available, there are a few notable alternatives, including LastPass, KeePass, 1Password, Clipperz, and Passpack Online.
