The more time we spend online, the more time we have to spend entering passwords and other data to access and process the information and commerce upon which we increasingly depend.
At a seminar this past week, the subject of password management arose, with attendees offering sob stories of lost passwords, out-of-date password tracking spreadsheets, and general exasperation with online forms.
Here’s an absolutely fantastic solution. It’s called Roboform Pro.
Roboform remembers all of your user login names, passwords, and personal data for any website you visit.

Roboform employs the most secure encryption available and is simple to use. It costs $39 per user, but is worth 100 times the cost.
Think of all the time you spend entering your address, contact information, juris number, credit card information, etc.
With a single click, Roboform also fills in all web-based forms, saving you countless hours of typing. You can have several “identities” and “passcards” (for example, for your personal and business credit cards).
Roboform works on both stand-alone and networked computers, and with all browsers (although there are a few extra steps required when setting it up for the first time with non-Explorer browsers such as Firefox).

RoboForm does not yet have a version for the Mac, although there is a web-based version in beta which works independent of browser or operating system. There are several Mac-based password management programs that compare to RoboForm, including APassword and IPassword.
