I use LastPass which is free, it fills forms, saves Log Ins, Logs you in automatically and even generates passwords.

Thanks for the tip, I'm now using LastPass and occasionally Fireform, when LP fails to fill a form.

Works a treat.

This is interesting because I was looking the Good to Know T&C and saw that all entries using automated scripts or macros eto. fill in forms would be disqualified. I wondered if all automated fillers would be dsiqualified. (I use Firefox) But it's hardly automated entry if you're visiting the site and ticking/unticking their boxes or answering questions. I e-mailed them to ask whether they would take a hard line with personal predictive form fillers - will try to remember to post up to let other compers know if I get an answer.

I don't use Roboform either. I tried it out once but I prefer Autofill Forms for Firefox or just typing it out.

Thanks - it would be interesting to then to compare wins with people who use form fillers and those that don't. I have never won with Good to Know mag and I use Roboform! :eek:

Say that though - why should people be disqualified for using form fillers - it is not cheating - we are just using a aid to help us fill in a form more quickly!?

Hi Blue girl From what you said in your OP, it seems like this site isn't trying to block auto form fillers. They're trying to stop spam, so personally I doubt it will mean comp hosts will turn against Robo, Last Pass, or whatever other legitimate methods of entry we use

Hi Blue Buddy :j

You are so lovely - you always seem to be able to think 'out of the box' as they say :T I tend to think the worst then panic!!! You have put my mind at rest - what an angel you are :A Thank you x

I used to manually tap for around 8 months, using IE's basic form filler,and then I trialled Roboform.

My comping production efficiency significantly increased.

It was like 'OMGSUPERFAST!!' whyyyy had I not tried this before??

I couldn't be without it now, I also rely on it for all my logins, and have paid two years running for it now.
NB - Still have to check it though, sometimes fills in the wrong places.

I literally type everything out manually and use same u/n & p/w so I dont struggle much to remember logins. I obviously dont get as many entered as some but I cant be bothered with more software. Lol

Did you ever get a response to this? Just curious as I won quite a few times with goodtoknow when entering manually, but not a bean since I started using Roboform a few months ago! Might be a coincidence but just read T&Cs & wondered if maybe this is why..
Thanks
