Thanks, Harley. Always enjoy your posts.

I've been using Roboform for over a year now. How does Password Safe compare?
I needed several profiles for website directories, ads, etc. for websites I was running and I didn't need a password for Windows to "remember" passwords, so I figured it wasn't necessarily "hack proof". So I paid the $40.00 for Roboform for security purposes (before knowing the wonderful world of freeware.)
Roboform doesn't need to be renewed (as I understand it).
Is it worth it to abandon the $40.00 investment?

Again, Thanks Harley.

Password safe is a great app to save passwords,it's also available in a zip form,so you can carry it around on a flash drive.


Roboform is something different,it fills out forms and passwords.

Secure login is a similar extension for Firefox.

I have tried all of the freebies and gave up and spent ??.?? On Robo Form.

You quoted Harley but I paid for the pro version of Robo Form.

To clear up some possible confusion: Over a year ago I was using the free version of Robo Form. If I remember that far back, it allowed me to create just two "Identities" for registering with Directories and Advertising sites as well as create random passwords, all under "Master Password Protection".
I quickly realized that if was going to be efficient and be able to post more than two ads and more than two descriptions for the thousands of links I was attempting to set up, I needed more than the free version. The paid version ($29.95 or $39.95, I don't recall) allowed unlimited "Identities" and a couple of other details.

Back then, I was also using Internet Explorer and the security angle of its password app seemed very lightweight and so I was attracted to the security of the master password protection of Robo Form.

Currently, I no longer have any active commercial websites (maybe I'll get back into those) and so the Identities aren't important. But the password protection of my logins still are. (It isn't paranoia if they're really trying to get you.)

I just wanted to know how Password Safe 3.1.6 measured up with Robo Form. If the security aspects were better with Password Safe, I would use it for logins and just keep Robo Form for website marketing purposes in the future.

Always try to be open to new ways of doing things :D :D

That's the way I learned my way around computers. I tried every suggestion I got here and some elsewhere.

Will it download over version 3.12?
