Knowledgebase

It is not often we promote programs within the knowledgebase but this one is really worth a mention.

There is an excellent and inexpensive program out there called Robo Form that we highly recommend.

What It Does

Very simply it is a password remembering program and a form filling program. Yes we KNOW that windows and Firefox and IE have these facilities, a few points to raise here:

1. Your PC (heavens forbid) crashes first thing in the morning where are your passwords now????
   
2. You are at work or away for the weekend and want to check on your sites from someone elses pc, where are your passwords and form filling details? On your PC at home useless.
   
3. You have a form filling ID that has all your personal details, but you have two websites and each time you register for a service whether it be advertising or link exchange you have to ammend your details to put in your URLS and titles and descriptions.

Robo Form will solve all the above issues and more here are just some of the benefits.

Passwords

Robo form not only remembers passwords but remembers what site they are for. For example you go to gmail to check your email robo form will recognise where you are and will show you its Gmail password you click "fill and submit" and you are logged in with one click.

If your partner has a gmail account too then they can have their own main id in robo form and it will recognise it is Jenny and not Fred using the pc and so offer Jennys gmail login.

After checking your email you go to the admin area of your site to do some work, hey presto Robo form knows where you are and offers to log you in with one click.

Form Filling

Again this is much more advanced than the windows or browser form fillers as it lets you create different ID's each with their own profiles and custom fields.

Example you can have your main profile with your name Fred Smith you then create a default profile for fred smith enter all your details, name address phone number favorite user name and password email and so on. Then when you sign up for anything personal robo form will recognise the web page has a form and offer to fill it out for you you just choose the Fred smith profile to fill the form.

But you also have a website and may be registering for something to do with that. Not a problem you create a separate profile called MYSITE.com and fill out all the details for your site, there is a custom fields section where you can add things like URL http://www.mysite.com  Title: Freds Widgets At Bargain Prices  Description "for the very best widgets at the best prices visit freds widgets" Again do this once then in the future fill out site related forms with one click by chosing the mysite profile. Very useful for link exchanging.

Your partner can have their own master id with all their own profiles under their id. Each master id can be secured with a single password for privacy.

Robo Form To GO

Now here is the best bit of all the version of robo form we recoomend it roboform to go. This makes robo form totally self contained on a removable memory stick. You can use robo form on ANY computer wherever you are without installing the program first. When you have finished Unplug your memory stick, walk away and no one has your passwords or private details.

What if you lose the stick? No problem because your main id is password protected with a single password that activates your roboform so the stick is useless to anyone who finds it unless they know the mater password for your ID.

This also makes things more secure at home remove your memory stick and anyone else who uses the pc has no access to your passwords or data.
