Roboform for Mac 1.2.9-Secure password manager for Mac

Tired of having to remember all of your passwords and personal info?
*RoboForm for Mac* securely stores online and offline passwords on your iMac
or MacBook, automatically logs you into online accounts and completes online
registration and checkout forms with just one master password. Note that
RoboForm for Mac only works in the Safari and Firefox browsers. Roboform for
Mac can however sync with RoboForm Everywhere for use on other platforms or
devices. The first time you launch Roboform, you're offered the chance to
signup immediately for an online account which syncs across all devices or
just use it on your Mac. It's wise to set it up just on your Mac to be sure
that you're comfortable with RoboForm before going any further. It allows you
to enter information like *phone numbers*, *address*, *company*, *bank
account* details and *Social Security Number* and *passport details*. Once
it's all stored in RoboForm, you'll be able to fill in online forms in a
click. This makes it easy to fill in web forms that require private data
although it may not work with all secure fields, especially when using
banking websites. When browsing the web, logins will probably be the item you
use most. Every time you enter a user name and password for a website,
RoboForm will offer to store it. From then on, you won't have to worry
about entering those details when accessing the page, as RoboForm will handle
it automatically. To *protect against phishing*, RoboForm will always compare
a website URL to the one corresponding to your password. If you're having
trouble defining a strong password you can use the *password generator* found
in tools. Not only can you choose the number and types of characters, but
also exclude similar characters (such as 1 and I or O and 0) or limit to
hexadecimals. For any element you create, RoboForm offers five known
encryption algorithms to choose from for your entries: Blowfish, AES, RC6,
1DES and 3DES. There are of course security concerns with any kind of
password manager such as Roboform but as an extra security feature, you can
choose to have RoboForm automatically log off after a certain amount of
minutes or when you lock your workstation. If you use Roboform's syncing
feature, the developers assure that their servers fully encrypt your data.
Although 1Password is still probably the best password manager for Macs,
Roboform is a very competitive alternative but it is limited to Safari and
Firefox users. There is a 1Password import tool if you want to try it out or
migrate all of your data across. *RoboForm is a slick and well organized
password manager and form filler for Macs.*Download *Roboform for Mac 1.2.9*
