Now there’s RoboForm Online…
Yep, the world’s Best password manager just got even better! As regular readers will know only too well, RoboForm is one of my very favorite must-have applications, and something that I have recommended on many occasions.
I’m not at all reluctant to say that EVERYONE who uses a PC online should have RoboForm installed. For security of passwords, and password management, there is nothing better.
But…
One downside to RoboForm is that you will become so dependent upon it that you’ll be lost when using another computer where *your* RoboForm data isn’t available. The portable version (RoboForm2Go) overcomes this problem to a large extent, but there are still elements of inconvenience. For one thing you have to remember to sync your latest RoboForm master data to the portable USB drive before leaving home or office (as the case may be); and of course you must have your portable RoboForm2Go USB drive with you at the time when you need it. Well…
The Answer Has Arrived…
All such considerations are now moot with the release of RoboForm Online.
Your master RoboForm installation on your own PC will automatically synchronize your Logins, Identities and Safenotes to your RoboForm Online account, where you can access them using your personal login credentials from any PC, anywhere in the world!
When at a “foreign” computer where you need access to your RoboForm data, you just browse to online.roboform.com, click the Login tab, and enter your account credentials – the one username/password combo you need to have filed away in your grey-matter storage cabinet.
And commendably, like everything Siber Systems does, it’s very easy to setup and use. Here’s how it goes…
The registration form is very simple:
RoboForm Online: Free Registration Form
On submitting the form you will be given some simple directions on how to initiate the sync.Basically, you’ll do this:
Synchronisation
I had to run the sync twice before all of my Logins, Identities and Safenotes were stored in the online service, but I may have been a bit hasty with the first one, not allowing enough time to get everything transferred across. However it’s easy enough to check your local RoboForm storage against your online storage to see that the numbers are right. If in doubt, just run the sync again.
By the way, if you should encounter a dialog like this:
The Good Sync dialog
Just click OK and follow directions — pretty much everything will be done for you.
RoboForm Online is a welcome addition to the RoboForm family, and those of us who move around a lot and use different computers are going to be very grateful for its emergence.

Of course, to make use of RoboForm online, you need to have RoboForm installed on your main PC to start with. And I as I said in the opening paragraph, RoboForm is something that *every* computer user should have installed.
