Never heard of roboform but if it say you are only allowed to use 10 then there's your answer.

puzzled - if you are using it properly, find a good use for all its functions then it may be worth the money for you.
It is totally useless for me, mainly because I log in from different pcs, and of course RoboForm isn't web-based.

I use it, but I must say, only because I kind of fell into the habit, and can't be bothered to sort out a replacement.
It's actually very flaky, and on sites that use a captcha check to see if it's a real human logging in, it fails completely.
It also has a habit of filling in credit card info using a mixture from my various cards (like the number of one, the expiry date of another) which causes endless problems.

The free trial is 10 passes, the full version is unlimited.

Cheers Ethel.
I can't see why the guy thinks he can carry on using it if his trial has expired.

To be honest, I thought you were a girl asking such a dumb question. Go get your boyfriend to have a look at it and he'll tell you the same as I did.
Read the thread again, the first arsy comment came from you.

another-view, I`ve found several of your answers sarcastic, and some downright rude, not sure if you`re really a newbie, but I wouldn`t like you to answer any of my questions.
If you can`t give a constructive reply, don`t bother.
There are many more intelligent people on this site who have the courtesy to reply, with a bit of respect.

I use Roboform, have done for a long time and bought the pro edition just because it's quicker to log in when you don't have to type anything.
The another-view bloke has been answering every other question on AB all day, none of them constructive. The mans obviously a complete a*se. Like you say, if you don't know the answer then why bother answering? Nothing better to do perhaps, how sad..

I don't use it, and I wouldn't.
This kind of product has to be open source for it to be at all secure. Right now, you have no idea if it's storing your passwords properly or not, let alone the risks of backdoors.
On Windows I use KeePass. It does basically the same thing, is free and open source, and has been checked out by some industry professionals I trust to do their job well.

Carry it on a USB stick, and you can use it from any computer. KeePassX is the Unix-variant for Mac OS X, GNU/Linux systems, etc.

Another alternative, if you're sticking on Windows only, is Password Safe. Leaner and simpler, but with a few less features (hence why I use KeePass).
Password Safe was originally co-written by Bruce Schneier, legendary cryptography god.
