You NEED This!!

Do you live in password purgatory like I do? Well, I was chatting with a friend over lunch the other day and mentioned something to that effect, how many passwords we have to remember these days, pin numbers, codes, usernames, URGH!! I'm soooooo sick of them all!! She replied that she's in the same boat.

When she returned to her office after lunch, I got an email from her saying she didn't know why she didn't think of this when we were talking about it but gave me a link to RoboForm and how much this tool has helped her. Well, I was pretty skeptical of a FREE tool. I figured I would get spammed to death or something or that it wouldn’t be very good.

Well, I’m here to tell you that I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and I love it!! I haven’t gotten a ton of additional emails, actually I can’t say that I’ve gotten any more emails than usual. Also, all I have to do is remember 1 password now. This tool quickly fills in the username and password for every site that I’m on and I’m on a lot! (about 20-30/day! You can even set up different folders, personal websites, work websites, etc.

Here are some other great features of RoboForm.

  • It encrypts your passwords to get complete security!!
  • You can have it generate passwords for you.
  • You can back up your passwords and copy them between computers.
  • It’s portable!! You can use a USB key to run this!!
  • PDA friendly, I’ve got installed on my Treo 650 so even if I’m not at home, I can still have all of my passwords with me. Again, it’s password protected and encrypted so it’s totally secure.
  • You can use it in what ever web browser you happen to be using, IE, AOL, MSN or Firfox!
  • One of the few things that actually does work seamlessly with Windows Vista! LOL

There’s also a pro version available for a small fee, I haven’t checked into yet. I have a palm version called e-wallet that I use to keep passwords and account information, I paid $30 for it. I’ve had many problems with it getting it to sync with every phone change and computer change I’ve had.

I think RoboForm is a real lifesaver. I hope you do too!!

Let me know what you think!
