Swift, secure form filling

panlane

Don't know if this has been posted before but there is a great little FREE program that allows you to fill in forms swiftly and securely. It's found at:

http://www.roboform.com/

It integrates with your browser and allows you to surf the net more securely by reducing, even preventing the need to type in passwords and card details (and so avoiding those trackers that decode them from keyboard use).

It speeds up getting freebies substantially.

P.S. The version you can carry on a USB stick when coupled with Firefox portable browser (also usable on a USB stick) to use on other computers is also highly recommended.

If you search for Roboform in Google the first link will take you to an American coupon that gives you 20% off the $29 making it only £12 compare to £20 for the original price, it said that this offer ends today (31.05.07).

The basic version is FREE and is sufficient for most people's needs. I've now edited my original post to highlight that.

Should have made that clear initially, sorry.

If you do want to upgrade, they have deals with a variety of online retailers that allow you to upgrade for free if you buy from them. I bought some inkcartridges from some firm or other to get the free upgrade to the full version. However, I'd used the FREE version (which they keep updating) for years before that.

The key is in having a standard log-in name and password to a lot of sites and then you can just use the same identity (you get one of these free, i.e. name, address, card, email, webpage details, etc.) for lots of places and then use the 10 free passcards (username, password, etc.) for the sites that have the more unusual requirements or you want a different name/password for.

I use a program called Keepass (http://www.keepass.info which appears to do pretty much everything roboform does with the exception of filling in large forms and is completely free and open source. I have been using it for months now and it is a great little program. It does have a number of plugins and extensions available on the website.
