    Me too BlueBella. When you go to Settings and Autofill it says Roboform is controlling that setting. The only way is to disable Roboform completely. Same for you?

    Yes - I see the same! So annoying as Roboform doesn't always fill in my whole address on some forms but Autofill does - that is why I used them both!

  • Well, I think Roboform have just lost me as a paying customer with this trick.

    I'm currently logged in to the online version with the extension disabled in Chrome, and I'm looking up any passwords I don't know, and letting Chrome save them for me.

  • The same has happened to me.
    I've got a key mapping program installed, so I can just tap one or two keys for most form filling options, but it's still quite annoying that things which worked perfectly well yesterday morning don't work at all today.

    Is anyone having a similar issue with LastPass? Mine hasn't been doing much for a while, but I thought it was something to do with me changing my email from hotmail to outlook.

    LastPass working fine for me but I don't use it for passwords or with any other autofiller
  • Roboform told me the decision by Chrome affects all password/autofill managers, not only Roboform. You can only have either Chrome autofill or another enabled at any one time.

    It is not a solution but it makes life easier if you still want to use both Roboform and auto-fill. I just popped a direct link to my extensions in my bookmarks bar so if I want to disable Roboform to use auto-fill, I just click on the link and switch it off. I probably use Roboform 75% of the time and it stores all my password logins but Auto-fill is useful and more helpful for some forms and sites.

    As libra10 stated in #7, Roboform may find a way of enabling both again x

    If you are using Google Chrome with Roboform you can install an extension called Extensity which is available here

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/extensity/jjmflmamggggndanpgfnpelongoepncg (Link is now working)

    the Extensity button sits at the top of the Google Chrome browser so you can then quickly click on it to toggle all of your extensions on and off.

    I:E you can quickly turn Roboform off when you want Google autofill to fill in the forms

    and quickly turn it on again when you want Roboform to complete a password login

    I also I have Roboform's lower toolbar enabled at the bottom of my browser which can also be quickly toggled on and off by clicking on the Roboform icon at the top of the Google Chrome browser - Hope this helps!

    Best of Luck :)

    I had the same problem, went and googled it and found that the URL is the same, so if you copy and paste Amiluckys URL into a new page you should find that works :beer:
