- Software registration codes,
- ATM (cash machine) passwords,
- Lock combinations,
- UNIX command line logins.

Use Safenotes as extended Clipboard

You can store non-secret texts such as standard replies to emails in Safenotes too. Each Safenote can be individually password-protected or not.

Filling Long Forms from Identities

Quality Artificial Intelligence

RoboForm is really smart in filling in forms; it is the most precise form filler on the market. We use Artificial Intelligence techniques to achieve this kind of precision and we test RoboForm thoroughly.

Not Limited Only to Forms it Knows in Advance

RoboForm can read and fill any form, even a form that it has never seen before. This is because RoboForm does what humans do when they fill a form -- it parses the form, "understands" it and makes field filling decisions.

Multiple Identities

You can have many Identities and you can easily switch between them. Your identities do not have to be real persons. Use fake Identities -- preserve your privacy.

Contact: a Small Identity

Contact is a small Identity that usually is not offered for form filling. You can use Contacts to create your own Address Book, with folder tree structure.

Multiple Credit Cards, Addresses, even Persons in Each Identity

Every group of fields found in Identity (Credit Card, Address, Bank Account, Person) can have multiple instances. That is, you can have several credit cards, addresses and persons (usually members of one group) in one Identity.

Selective Form Filling

You can ask RoboForm to fill just a part of your form, rather than the complete form. Simply select (highlight) the fields that you want RoboForm to fill and click any form filling button -- only the selected fields will be filled.

Filling Selection and Radio Button Fields

RoboForm correctly fills selection fields presented as drop-down lists of items. Example: if you car expiration date is in February, RoboForm will select "Feb" or "February" or even "02" in the field. It handles radio buttons in a similar fashion.

Filling Partitioned Fields

RoboForm also fills out fields that are divided into several sub-fields. Example: the "Phone Number" field could be in 3 fields of 3+3+4 digits, 2 fields of 3+7 digits, or one field of 10 digits. Roboform fills out all of these correctly.

User-Defined Custom Fields

In each Identity you can have custom fields for which you specify the field caption that is used to recognize the field.

Country-Sensitive Form Filling

RoboForm can fill forms in multiple languages, not just in English. List of supported languages is available at the Translation Page.
RoboForm lets you select the country you are in, and then it customizes its form filling rules based on the traditions of your country. For instance, it knows that in the US the date format is MM/DD/YY but that in the UK it is DD/MM/YY.

Machine Translation: Just a Little Bit

You can set the selection value in one language (for example: you create your Identity with Title "Monsieur" in French) and RoboForm will correctly fill this value in any language that it can handle. For example: it would put "Herr" into the Title field in a German form.

Password Generator

Generate Secure Random Passwords

Generate random password of any length, up to 512 characters. Options:
- Specify set of characters to appear in the password, including special characters.
- Option to exclude similar characters.
- Option to generate hexadecimal passwords.
- Password bit strength indicator.

Automatic Filling of Generated Password

RoboForm fills generated password automatically when you click Generate -> Fill button.

Folders

Passcards, Identities and Safenotes can be categorized into Folders.

Create Folder when Saving

Save Forms, new Identity, Rename, Clone dialogs allow creation of new object in a folder.

Folders in Editors

Display folder tree in Editors, in the left navigator.

Folders in Menus

All menus that select an object are cascading, they may contain folders.

Security & Encryption

Strong Encryption Algorithms Used

Algorithm Key Length Block Size AES 128-256 16 Blowfish 256 8 RC6 256 16 3-DES 64 8 1-DES 64 8

AES key length depends on Master Password key length: * 128 bit for MP less than 32 chars, * 192 bit for MP from 32 to 47 chars, * 256 bit for MP 48 chars or longer.

Encryption by Master Password

You can protect all your Identities and Passcards with the Master Password thus making them inaccessible to unauthorized users and unreadable by hackers even if they are stolen. We use AES encryption for increased protection.

Master Password Caching

Once you enter Master Password, it is kept in memory, so that you do not have to reenter it for every Passcard. Logoff command purges cached password from memory.

Defeats Keyloggers

When RoboForm enters the saved password into form fields, it is not typing them through keyboard, so if a keylogger is installed on your computer and it is monitoring keyboard events for passwords, it will get no keyboard clicks when you use RoboForm to enter passwords.

Auto-Logoff

You can ask RoboForm to purge cached Master Password from memory after a specified period of inactivity.

Change Master Password

You can ask RoboForm to reprotect all Passcards with the new Master Password. Also password protection can be removed or added to all Passcards.

Managing User Data

Backup and Restore

Backup and Restore commands are provided.

Each Passcard / Identity is a File

Each Passcard, Identity and Safenote is a separate file. This allows to have links to Passcards on desktop, to send them to your friends by email, and to copy/move them using Windows Explorer.

RoboForm Profiles

A collection of Passcards, Identities and Safenotes constitutes one RoboForm Profile. You can have more than one Profile, say one RF Profile for every member of the household. Easy switching between Profiles is provided.

Windows Accounts

Each Windows account has its own RoboForm Profile but it is possible for several Windows accounts to share one RoboForm Profile.

Portability on USB and Removable Drives

Physical Security

Physical Portability

Both RoboForm program and your password files reside on USB key, so you can freely take them from one computer to another.

Full Automation
