How do you keep track of all your passwords?

How do you keep track of all your passwords?
It's all in here, baby (pointing to brain)
I write them down
Easy, I use one password for everything!
Password manager software (which one?)
Document them on my computer (tell us how)
More than one of the above
None of the above (tell us what else you do)
Robo-form saves my day
by Bob27852 - 6/14/05 1:52 PM In reply to: How do you keep track of all your passwords? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
A co-worker turned me on to Robo-Form, which I use to create/store/populate my password needs. It resides on my desktops at home and at work, and my passwords are in a file on my flash drive, which travels with me. Robo-Form allows me to enter my own passwords and it will save them, OR, it can generate a secure password and store it, so I never even have to know what it is. This works out great for me, as a programmer, since I can have secure passwords for every application, and I never have to remember any of them!

by pctuneup - 6/14/05 2:09 PM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852Absolutely! I have been using RoboForm for more than a year and it is the BEST. Use a flash drive! Use their flash drive resident program! Worth the money! Don't forget to back 'em up - RoboForm includes a (non-automatic) backup option, plus they offer a Palm OS module for viewing your files AND generating passwords.
The only other password program I used was Whisper32 which wasn't bad. I created separate files in the same way RoboForm lets you create separate profiles.
Robo form...
by Shari2005 - 6/14/05 3:57 PM In reply to: re:Robo-form saves my day by pctuneupDoes one have to use a flash drive with this? Couldn't you just remember the master password...or does it work some other way? Haven't used any before.
Thanks.
Robo Form
by bob-stockbridge - 6/14/05 5:11 PM In reply to: Robo form... by Shari2005No you do not have to use a flash drive for this, you can install it resident on your computer. A flash drive just gives you the option of removing the data from your computer and taking it with you if you want to. Or to remove it when you have someone else using your computer and do not want to tempt them.
RoboForm Backup Tip
by stepdg - 6/14/05 8:46 PM In reply to: re:Robo-form saves my day by pctuneupThis one is a life saver!
One of the great features of RoboForm is the ability to state where you want your passwords saved. I simply changed the location to a subfolder of ''My Documents''. Now every time I log on or log off, my roaming profile backs up all the passwords to the server. All it takes is one hard drive failure to *LOVE* this rapid method of recovery. Be sure and remember your RoboForm password, just in case.

RoboForm saves my day ... it's amazing
by lfrancisco - 6/14/05 3:05 PM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852I've had RoboForm for about 19 months or so and have loved it from the start. It puts me at ease to know that I only need to worry about changing one tough to break password rather than my couple hundred passwords that RoboForm keeps up with. I feel that piece of paper can get into the wrong hands faster than my thumb drive that is backed up on my PC.

by Shari2005 - 6/14/05 3:58 PM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852Does one have to use Flash card to use this program?
MS Access
by uling - 6/15/05 8:59 AM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852MS Access will do the work. I write my own software and store user ID and passwords in a password protected Access database. That database password is the only one I need to remember. When logging in to a site or whatever I run my software to locate username and password. Then copy and paste will do the rest.
RoboForm on Pocket PC too
by oshnbreeze - 6/18/05 4:34 PM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852I also have RoboForm on my pocket PC. Wouldn't leave home without it.
Does Anyone Have an older Version of Roboform?
by bkzoner - 7/9/05 10:49 AM In reply to: Robo-form saves my day by Bob27852Hello,
I just did a system recovery, and forgot to save my installer file for my free version of Roboform. It was version 5.2 -something. (Thankfully, I did save my passcards and identities.) Now, I have discovered that the older versions are no longer available for download from the website, nor anywhere else I can find. I really dislike the newer versions.
I did find someone who was incredibly generous enough to email me a copy of the program, only to find it was a version 4, and it didn't recognize the file format of my passcards to import them into the program. I could still manage with it if I could remember all the my passwords, but of course after using Roboform, one doesn't feel they need to remember them!
Does anyone have a version 5 of the program that they would be so kind as to send to me? I'm certain that any version 5 would recognize the format of my saved passcards. I'd be greatly indebted, probably for LIFE!

old version Roboform
by webscoollinks - 8/10/05 10:11 PM In reply to: Does Anyone Have an older Version of Roboform? by bkzonerHi! I would be more than happy to help you. I have just went thru a 2 week problem with my Roboform. I deleted an old one, and updated BY MISTKE, only to have 10 passcards only to save. I have 4-1-6 and 4-6-8 BUT if you want the 5 something version you can get it by going to OldVersion.com. THAT WILL ONLY ALLOW YOU TO SAVE 10 PASSCARDS THO.
Let me know if you need an older one or you can do it like I did - do a search for "old version roboform" and all the old links can be found within the 1st 10 listings of web page links for that search.
Have a great Day - Robin from Toledo

Thanks!
Old Version Roboform
by bkzoner - 8/19/05 9:55 PM In reply to: old version Roboform by webscoollinksThank you, Robin from Toledo! You pointed me in the right direction to find and download Roboform 5.0.6 which uses the same format as my saved passcards. (Also, it appears I can save an unlimited number of passcards.) The various versions are posted at the OldVersion.com "Request" forum. Do a search for "Roboform" at that forum, Click on "Roboform", and scroll down to #5 posted on 09-18-2004, 12:25 PM.
Have a great day too, Robin!

by redvolvo7995 - 12/27/06 6:03 AM In reply to: Old Version Roboform by bkzonerRoboForm is, without a doubt, by far the BEST program I have ever installed. Do NOT know what I would do without it.
