I've had Roboform for the last few months checking it out working with it seeing what is the pro's and cons of it. Here's what I've found out.
Limited number of passwords for non-license (Limited to 10 passcards - login information and password) -- This doesn't surprise me in fact once I'd started using it I had to buy it. You see I've got so many places I like to visit and so many logins it isn't easy to track them all. This helps me login to each and everyone of them very easily. Although if you only have a limited amount of sites the free version will work well for those people too.
Defeats Key loggers -- This is good for those who have family members who use the same computer just in case someone installs a virus that tries to steal your sensitive information. Can be put on a portable thumb drive with use to a library or open platforms. This also will prevent key loggers from getting your login information.
Generates strong passwords -- This is a must in my field, I'm so tired of having to come up with a password. Now this is generated on the fly. Click a button and you have a password generated. Tried this out on several sites that would tell you how strong it is and all of the said excellent.
Works with
Firefox, Internet explorer, and MSN/AOL -- Now being that I don't have a MSN or Aol I do not know this I have however tried this on Internet explorer and Firefox very easily. It works well with Vista no major problems. I have tried it with Google Chrome and it seems not work at all with it. I do not know if they will start supporting it and only time will tell!!
Backing up your passwords -- it is really easy to back up your passwords database on Roboform. Just copy and paste and your done. No needing to find a hidden Directory, Roboform Database for Vista is in the My Documents folder under "My Roboform Data" Folder. All you need to do is copy that to a USB key and no worries Roboform automatically encrypts the passwords so without the Master password you can't use them.
No need to remember Passwords -- Yes that is right you no longer have to worry about remembering your passwords all you have to do is click a button and Roboform fills the required input forms. It can be annoying if you use the free version because you only can save 10 passwords then the rest you will have to remember.
Easily speed through login screens -- This is the best part of Roboform because no more having to type in the site you need to go to login. Roboform does that for you without any problems. You just pick where you want to go and Roboform takes you through and fills the information in before you know it. I absolutely love this feature because You don't have to type in the place you want to go it will automatically take you there.
Roboform has several version -- Roboform can be made portable and also be put on PDA's (Personal Digital Assistant) or a Mobile Phone(Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian, or Blackberry). This is great for those who need to have your passwords on more than one type of device. Keeps it safe like big brother still need a master password to get to it. It also makes it just as easy to surf to the important websites with ease.

To Buy Roboform:
I strongly recommend this to anyone who has problems remembering passwords or want to upgrade there passwords to the next level. This will ultimately protect you far better than trying to remember all your passwords. This however is a personal and this will not protect you 100% but will get far closer to the 100% than just doing it alone. Remember only you can protect your sensitive data and nothing else can stop password stealing 100% of a time.
