Speed and Security Online With Roboform
If you’re like the majority of web users you have 1 password you use for all your online accounts, you also type in your name & address each time you place a new order. The cross platform wonder that is Roboform can auto-fill your forms and is secure enough to safely store credit card information.
It can store the information in two ways; it can either bundle up all the information into a file stored on your computer (encrypted of course) and/or stored on Roboforms servers. It will then sync the data between computers and even make it accessible online. It can also generate and feed in random passwords to all your accounts whether it be Hotmail or Amazon.
The next time you sign up for an online service it’ll fill in your address and even credit card details, it’ll ensure your data is current between your different machines, and once you logoff the information is protected against attack. You now just have to worry about one ‘master password’ password that then keeps all your info safe and secure.
The free version can store up to 10 passwords, the pro for $30 stores unlimited passwords.
