Good Post, I have been using Roboform for the past year, you start off with a free version and then upgrade to the full version after a trial period. I needed to store login details as I used to fill in surveys and its impossible to remember all and wastes time too.

Got to agree that RoboForm is a great product, as is KeePass. In the end the important thing is that you are protecting your passwords. So try both and see which one you find the simplest to use.

If you like the way one particular product works you are more likely to actually use it, so your passwords will be more secure.

Great article by the way.

@Kevin
Thanks. Sounds like a good product. I’ve had RoboForm for a few years and I’m completely satisified with it. Someone just looking into a product could look into KeePass. Thanks for the info.

KeePass appears to have the same features as RoboForm, except it is free as in free beer (and yeah, it’s actually KeePass not KeyPass). RoboForm’s website also seems kind of spammy to me.

I definitely would recommend KeePass since it is open source software (so more eyes looking at the robustness and security of the code) and because the website is not spammy and trying to sell you something

I’ve been using KeePass for a while and I’m pretty happy with it. You can organize passwords into folders and auto-generate passwords, and you can even store entire documents in its encrypted database. It also supports an “auto-type” feature for automatically filling out forms, but I’ve personally never used it myself.

Maybe one area where RoboForm has an advantage is “Fight Phishing and Defeat Keyloggers.”, but then again, you should really be using an anti-malware and anti-virus tool for that anyways.

@Kevin
I’ve never heard of KeyPass so thanks for pointing it out. It sounds a lot like RoboForm. Do you recommend it?

I didn’t see any mention of KeyPass password safe

This is a program that I use to store my own passwords on my desktop; the program creates encrypted standalone database. To open that database, I have one “super password” which is about 30 or 40 characters long, but I only have to remember that one instead of 100+ passwords, and now I can set different passwords for each site.

The problem, of course, is that i have to go to the program now cause each of my passwords is a funny encrypted string instead of something I can actually remember, and if the database ever got wiped out, well that would be a headache…
