You may have seen several posts and tips on this site in the past regarding the excellent open source password manager, KeePass, but today I’m going to point you to another excellent password manager: RoboForm.
RoboForm (available in a free and commercial version) offers just about everything you would ever need for managing passwords. Here are some features of interest:
- AutoSave passwords in browser.
- Click Login button for you.
- Take RoboForm with you on USB disk for ultimate portability.
- Sync your passwords and notes to Palm or Pocket PC.
- Works under Windows as an add-on to IE-based browsers.
- Works with Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox under Windows.
- Save Secret Text Data to Safenotes
Of course, all your passwords and (optionally) notes are encrypted, so rest assured your secrets are safe. If you have tried KeePass and it didn’t have enough features for you, RoboForm should do the trick.

I have used Roboform for two years, and it’s perfect but you can’t save more than ten passcards after the end of the trail days

I mostly use the GPLed passerby (http://passerby.sourceforge.net/). I chose it because you can separate the password file (i.e database) from the program itself, so I can easily send my encrypted passwords to let’s say gmail and access my passwords from anywhere, just installing the passerby program. I believe it is also cross platform.
Do you know whether you can do the same with either keepass or roboform?
I’ve been using this program for a number of years now… I’d be lost without it! Simply the best password manager around IMHO.
