Ghacks Christmas Giveaway: RoboForm
Day 17 of the Ghacks Christmas Giveaway. The giveaway is slowly reaching the end with another week to go before it closes its door for this year on December 24. Today's application is the popular password manager, note taking and form filler RoboForm.
RoboForm is available for Microsoft Windows operating systems and can be installed directly, on a USB device or on mobile devices such as Windows Mobile, Symbian or Blackberry. The software integrates nicely with web browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer or AOL / MSN and displays a toolbar that provides access to all the application's functions and there is also a System Tray icon providing the same.
The password manager will automatically catch data that is entered in password forms and provides the means to store those passwords in the application so that it can be used to automatically log into the website or service.
Information are stored in so called passcards which do not only contain information like the username or password but additional parameters like cookie length or emails. The information can be protected with a master password which is similar to the feature of the same name in Firefox. The data is therefor protected and save from prying eyes until the master password is provided.
Keyboard shortcuts speed up the process further by providing access to some of the functions and menus. The password manager is only one of the features of RoboForm. It will also aid the user during registration.
It is not a problem to use very long and secure passwords since all passwords are stored in the application. The password generator helps the user by generating a secure password for the website or service.
It provides options to select the length of the password, the allowed characters and the minimum amount of numbers. The password generator will also display the bit strength of the password to give the user an indication of the strength.
Passwords are only one type of information that have to be provided during registration. RoboForm makes use of so called identities that can be used to fill in the other information automatically as well. Identities are data sets that contain information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers and any other type of data the user likes to add.
These information can then be used to automatically fill a registration form which can be a huge time saver for users who regularly sign up for new services on the Internet. Different identities are available to distinguish different users or different environments such as work and home.
Another useful feature of RoboForm is the note taking module. It can be used to store notes securely on the computer. Notes can also be protected by the master password so that no one can access them without providing the master password first. Notes are simple text documents that contain information saved by the user.
RoboForm is an interesting application for users who spend a lot of time on the Internet. If you ever had to register to 20+ services on a day you know how much time it takes to fill out all the information over and over again. Using RoboForm this could have been done in a fraction of the time since the data would have to be entered only once by the user.
We got five RoboForm Pro licenses. If you want one leave a comment below.

Love seeing GHack embracing the Christmas spirit with these giveaways. Keep it up. Your a daily RSS read for me!
Wow, count me in
been using this software for a while and i would say it’s one of the best so far for form filling and password logs
Nice and practicle little app.
gHacks rules!
Can I have one licence, please?
cheers!
I rather suggest you all to use keepass.info ! its open-source!
I want to have RoboForm, thanks!
I would really love to have a license to roboform.
If you could be so kind…
I would be very happy.
Thank you very much in advance.
Happy holidays!
I would love to have a license to Roboform! It would be a time saver with all the forms I fill out!

Roboform rocks! Thanks fpr the licence ;-)
Nice try, but one roboform is mine :-)

Thanks very much for the one I won, my OH is over the moon with it but this is something I’d love for myself, I use the free trial version right now but I’d love to be lucky enough to win this and open it up so I can use it properly.
Thanks so much for organising and running this giveaway for all of us
Good softy….
Pretty please?
I would lovethis app!:)
I’m in too. KeePass is working well for me, but I’m still far too used to RoboForm. Good piece of software that works well.
hmmmm isn’t roboform free… err, I think I’ve used them before.. or maybe they have a pro version?
count me too! nice one :þ
I love this tool. Too bad the free version is sol limited.
It is RoboForm Pro that you can get.
thanks Martin!
ah yes, I remember now, how the free version is too limited.. hope to win even if I already won.. :D
yep it would be nice to get rid of the free version limitations :-)
I’ve only just started using dedicated password managers and they speed up my work no end. At the moment I’m using Keepass but a free license for RoboForm would be a great incentive to switch!
i hope i win!
Good to see that Robo Form is given away Ghacks. Love your site!

WOuld love one of these, would beat using an old diary.
You have no idea how much easier this would make my life~! Just at work I have six different login’s to remember and not to mention my twitter,yahoo,stumble,blog and on and on and on that I have to remember and I never can. So I always end up having them send me my password or login name to my email which is a big pain in the you know what :) RoboForm would make my geeky life so much easier. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays~!
Great initiative, would like very much a license to use at home

Great giveaway!
Me too :)
I love RoboForm and would have a real use for this. Please count me in. Thanks for the contest!
Martin I also would like to have the full version as I use the free one which is limited to 10 passcards. I thought that would be enough but now find i have to make choices and delete the less desirable ones to make room for a new one. As long as i’m here I would like to thank you for great info you bring to this blog also Jack,s the only one who helped me to understand the Linux file system. Thank you all and Merry Christmas hope you have a great holiday.
Have heard this is brilliant and would love a copy. Thanks gHacks.
I would love Roboform. A good friend has it and raves about it.
Please and thank you very much
Not often I put in for a giveaway, but RoboForm is one of those products worth trying for.
Looks like a great app. for usb and all outher.
This would be nice.
Roboform looks nice.
Hope to get one license.
Roboform is the best! Thank you for the chance to win.
Great Prize – I really want this.
I use Roboform free version – with only 10 password storage – would love to have the pro version!
Great review. I would love a copy of RoboForm :)
Is there anyone does not want to have such a wonderful program? For me, I wish of course.
Hi Martin, I am using the limited free version at the moment and would very much like to have the pro version. Merry Christmas.
WOW sounds great. Thanks for the giveaway.
I want a license
It’s an awesome product!
Desperate for this, completely reliant on the free version at the moment and would LOVE the pro version!
Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to have one.
Merry Christmas!!
From the comments I have heard about Robo Form, I know I would like to use it too. Please consider me to win one. Thanks.
Thanks anyway!
I have heard a lot about Roboform…and would love to try one.
Thanks for having a giveaway event.
Roboform looks like a great piece of software.
Hope I win it :)
Good luck to everyone else.
My dad and I have been using this for years, but we have never actually bought a copy (we use the free version). Having a key would really be useful!
Roboform is sweet. Pretty much the best password manager on the PC, no doubt.
Can I have it ?
Please enter me. I’ve bought it TWICE this year and both computers have died. I just bought a new computer but can’t afford it right now for it, so I’d be delighted to win!
RoboForm
RoboForm
Robo all the way
Oh what fun it’d be to win
This RobboForm today :-)
Fingers crossed….
This sure would help filling out all the various forms and entering all the passwords the ‘net has these days!
Roboform is the best password manager par excellence and sans pareil. I’d love to have a licence.
Everyone tells me that I need a Roboform badly. I love to blog and I spend a lot of time doing sweepstakes. No need to say I could use help & this would be too good to be true.
[email protected]
That’s awesome! What a cool giveaway. Please consider me!
Great giveaway
I would love to win this. I use the free version but would love to upgrade to Pro.
I’m in. I’d love to try it. :)
Sure could use this… Please enter me. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
I would like one of the pro license please.
Thank you.
Love Roboform.
This would be awesome for me since I have to fill out a lot of forms as I await the Zombie Apocalypse. You can never be too prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse!
I’d love to win this!
I’ve been using the free version for a few years, but I only get 10 passcards with that, so I’d love to win the pro version. Thanks!
Yes, I want one! Thank you for having this giveaway!
Yes please!

I want it!
Roboform is gr8!
Lovely xmas present :-d
Roboform looks very cool.
Great app. I could really use another license.
I have been very good this year, could I have one please.

Fantastic prize!
Awesome! Roboform is a perfect prize. Pick me! ;-)
I would love this! Merry Christmas!
Roboform is excellent software. I’ll take it!
I am in.
Yay Roboform!
I have never used any Roboform version, but have heard great things about it from my friends-who have been telling me to at least try out the free version for some time now. It definitely fits in with my PC needs and would make life tons easier! Please count me in, I’d love to try this out!
I have many friends who use this. I would love to have it for myself.
i’ve been looking to purchase this software. it would be awesome if i won it instead. Thanks for a great giveaway. I’d really hoping to win.
Today’s the Day!
Still a few to go, but this may be the most *useful* program of the whole event.
I’ve been using the free limited version of RoboForm, and I think it’s great! I highly recommend it to everyone. Great way to defeat most keyloggers too.
Awesome giveaway! I love RoboForm and would sure love to win a real version! Thanks a bunch…and my carpel tunnel thanks you too!
Here’s one I *really* need. Thanks, Martin!
Great Giveaway! I would love to win!
I’d love a copy!
Sure would like a license for Christmas. :)
Happy Holidays Martin!
Hi, I would love to get a copy of the full version of Roboform as I an using the free version and I am limited to 10 logins. I even reverted to an earlier version of Roboform at one point with 30 logins because I really needed more than 10, but the earlier version lacked features I like in the new version! Ahh! What to to do. I have also tried the alternative to Roboform but none seemlessly integrated into Internet Explorer and Firefox like Roboform. Please give me the full license – it would save me from having to but it:)
Would love to win a copy and try it
Would love to win a copy
Nice!!!
RoboForm sounds like a dream. Enter me please. I hate typing.
I would have used RoboForm to fill this comments box but I don’t have a copy. If only there was some kind of competition where I could win a copy? :)
I really could use this , i hope you will consider giving me one.
Merry Christmas all
i really could use this. i hope use it . thank you
please count me in.
Thanks!
hi
i like robo form , which i tried but got expired,
will be happy to get it from u
I would love to receive a license. It is a great product.
Since Rhonda SWEARS by Roboform I am entering this. I’ve never used it but I KNOW Rhonda does alot of form filling and she must be in the know. Yes, plese enter me!
I love roboform, would love the pro though.
This would be great to have. Thanks!
Nice giveaway.
What can i say but this is a great deal, Really great program ,I have been using the trail version which is great but has limits. It would really be great to win one of these, Who knows it may just happen!
Merry Christmas Everyone
Great piece of software!!! Enter me please
I love it too!
Hey, RoboForm would be awesome!! Thanks for the chance!
if its still open then i will love a license
thanks
If this is stil running then please throw me in – I have had the trial version for a couple of weeks and it is such a timesaver – I love the way I can have a profile for me and one for he who must be ignored – so easy for filling forms. The password generator is especially cool – very random.
Everyone wants a license for this awesome piece of software.
I’d love RoboForm because it doesn’t half save you a lot of valuable time and is 100% security protective. It also helps you reduce disk space or space elsewhere if you’re one of those people who save all your passwords in a folder and have to struggle to find the right one. So, much better organisation and worry free.
Please,please & please. Best password manager going!!!
Would love Roboform
One of the best PW managers. I would like to win a license. :)
The greatest password manager ever.
And this is the best site ever.
Send me one
Can I have one. thanks, i mean the software!!!
I want one too !
Most of my friends use Roboform. I’m saving my pennies so that I can sign up also!!!
Have used the free version and would love the chance to do more with a Pro license.
Have heard a lot about this program. Would like ot have it, would like to know how they make it work too, but probably would not understand even if they told me.
Just found your site, thanks to Gizmo. I love robo-form and would love the pro version – if only I could afford it.
yes, i’d love a free copy of roboform with no restrictions…thanks, you guys are awesome!
2 gud to 2 b TRUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
pleez gimme,gimme,gimme,gimme,gimme,gimme ;>)
Would love a free copy of Roboform – sure will save my poor head from having to remember all the passwords and my fingers from Repetitive Stress Injury
Please send me the “Key” for RoboForm
Thanks for making this all possible.
WOW, nobody does things like this for people any more!!!!
Gosh, I hope it is not too late to get this. I saw it on a friend’s PC and it looks awesome.
I need a new Roboform – lost mine in a comptuer crash!
Please provide me a copy of Roboform pro.
Thanks.
i have used this from very old version of it. i would love to have license if its still available.
I’ve used RoboForm professionally and at home. It has been a life-saver. As a school’s Technology Coordinator, there were numerous sites and apps requiring various passwords that RoboForm help me keep private, but available. I use it on laptops and my home pc.
A much awaited one. Please consider me also.
Thanks.
ids
Ideal for travelling; An essential tool for anyone who has more than one password to remember. Yes please!
I had a trial of Robo – it was fab. Would love to win!
HO ho ho
I tried this last year and guess what i didn’t win! I never knew who won, I would love to have a pro version of Robo Form, Thanks
Can I have one licence, please?
I would really love to have a license to roboform.
If you could be so kind…
I would be very happy.
Thank you very much in advance.
Happy holidays!
I currently use KeePass, but would like the chance to use RoboForm. Thanks.
Sorry… I know this contest was for 2008, but there was nowhere to enter the Dec 8 2011 Contest for RoboForm…
https://www.ghacks.net/2011/12/08/roboform-everywhere-review/?_m=3n.003a.52.qt0ao00x7t.1v9
Kevin, that’s because the giveaway period is only 24 hours this year after which the comments are closed down.
Okay. Thanks. I just received the email notification today at 7:06am EST here in North America. In your ghacks.net Windows newsletter.
Sorry for that Kevin, the new giveaways are usually posted around 12 CET and last until the next day at around the same time.
Having one place to organize and store all my passwords would be so helpful. I need something like RoboForm!
Thanks
Great software. Count me in!
I am so very confused by my new Windows 7 laptop that I am sending it to be repaired or replaced, giving the techs a good laugh. As a result of this confusion, I tend to use the same password for many sites, or scramble through five notebooks, a Rolodex, and odd scraps of paper to find my identities and passwords for both old and new sites. RoboForm seems a good solution for me. If Ghacks trusts it, so do I.
This would come in so handy.
I currently keep my passwords in an excel list !
