van zan Buy Roboform Everywhere, unlimited installs, cheap yearly subscriptions works from any device including my itouch, besides windows! The desktop version is an intro compared to the everywhere version, the name says it all. AAAA++++

Siber Systems @Van zan,

Thank you so much for the recommendation. RoboForm Everywhere is a great service for those of you who wish to have your RF information available on all of your devices.

misho I have been using it for the last 4 years and I cannot without it. If you don't have it, get it. I use both desktop and Everywhere, as I find the desktop more convenient on my home computers and the Everywhere for work for any other mobile/not-owned device.

Highly recommended!

Siber Systems Hi @Mihail Garchev,

Thank you so much for the great recommendations for Desktop and Everywhere. Just to clear up some confusion for users who may not know the difference between Everywhere and Desktop- When you purchase the Everywhere license, it is a service that you pay for yearly and includes all of our licenses in one and you can access your RF data on all of your devices. When you purchase the Desktop version, you receive one license for one desktop so you are only installing RoboForm on one computer. This is convenient for users who do not wish to store their data in the cloud, and would like to have their data just on their desktop. Also, if a user does not want to access his or her RF data on multiple devices, then just having one desktop license would be sufficient. Thanks again!

Peter R When I do not want the Everywhere solution and buy 1 license for my PC and 1 for my laptop: can I sync these installations to have the same user data?

Thank you.
Sep 6 2012 at 7:05am
Siber Systems Hi @Peter R,

You would have to purchase the Everywhere license- it is the only way that you can sync both computers. The Desktop license does not have the syncing feature, therefore your data will only be available on the computer that you have the license installed.

Thanks,
Michelle

Avatar _ It is possible to have the same data on both computers by using the backup and restore functions if you have your computers networked. Or you could back the data up to a flash drive and plug it into your other computer and restore from there. Pretty easy to do, just not automated.

" Transfer of a license to another owned computer is allowed."
How can I do if i want to transfer?

If you purchase a license and need to put it on another computer instead, then you would contact our support department at http://www.roboform.com/support, so that they could increase your activation count. Thanks!

Danny What is so special about RoboForm Desktop 7? All web browsers can also remember passwords and automatic additions do!
Sep 7 2012 at 6:16am
Bomb Inuyasha For transfer a license, is it similar to deactivation system in Adobe?
Because I used to use deactivation system of Adobe. If it's the same, It's easier for me to understand. I ask this question because I have a plan to buy a new labtop and sell the old one
Sep 7 2012 at 6:35am
Siber Systems @Danny,

The great thing about RoboForm Desktop is that you can save your passwords, bookmarks, identities, and safenotes in the RoboForm software (which is displayed as a toolbar in your browser) and access your data on multiple browsers- IE, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome. Your data stays the same on all of the browsers that you use. Also, you securely store your data with the Master Password function, which asks you to enter your Master Password when you log on to your computer and open your browser. That way, only you can access your information- no one else!

Also, RoboForm is not just for saving and securely storing passwords, it has a variety of other functions such as saving bookmarks, safenotes, and identities. The identities feature is awesome because it allows you to save all of your information within RoboForm and fill out any online form in one single click.

Andy Kemper I am not sure why they still sell the RoboForm Desktop version. I brought two desktop licences in the past and then the RoboForm Everywhere version became available.

I wish I had not bought the desktop version licenses but instead purchased the "RoboForm Everywhere" version from the begining.

Don't make the same mistake I did, just buy one copy the Everywhere version.

Siber Systems @Andy,

There are several reasons why someone would want the Desktop version, instead of Everywhere:

1) They do not need their RoboForm information anywhere else except for their one desktop computer.
2) They do not want to store their data anywhere except for their desktop computer.
3) They do not want a yearly license fee.

Dave Doiron I already have Roboform Desktop 7.8.0.5 which I use with Firefox and am delighted with, but it apparently doesn't work with my Google Chrome, which is using Roboform Lite. Will this version work with Google Chrome?
Sep 7 2012 at 7:05am
Siber Systems @Dave Doiron,

It does work with Google Chrome. Make sure you have Google Chrome installed. Then, try updating your RF version at roboform.com/download. During the installation process, make sure you check the Chrome browser as a browser that you want to integrate RF with. If you started using RF Lite on Chrome to begin with, please contact our support dept at http://www.roboform.com/support to learn how to deactivate the Lite toolbar.

Thank you,
Michelle

Siber Systems Hi @Avatar,

The drawback to the Backup/Restore functionality is it overwrites existing data. It doesn’t merge databases. One license per desktop is our policy for our Desktop license. If you want RF2GO on your USB device, you can purchase that from this page: http://www.roboform.com/p...en&lang=en.

We also may be featuring RF2GO in the near future on Bits.

RF will automatically recognize your data. Just purchase Everywhere from our website then activate it using your activation instructions in your email that you get after your purchase.

Sep 7 2012 at 9:38am
Siber Systems Hi @Danny,

If you are using the Master Password option, RoboForm stores your login credentials including usernames and passwords in encrypted files called Passcards. Those Passcards are encrypted using military grade AES encryption with the key that is derived from your RoboForm Master Password. The only way to .unlock. one of your Passcards is by using your Master Password.

In addition, Siber Systems follows strict privacy rules regarding users' stored content and you are the only one allowed to access your RoboForm Online account.

This means that absolutely nobody, including Siber Systems, can access your logins or other RoboForm data without knowing your Master Password.

If your computer crashes on you only have RF Desktop (not Everywhere) and have not created a backup copy of your data, then yes you will lose all of your information.

Thanks,
Michelle

Software Babe So, this is a yearly SUBSCRIPTION? I was reading your Everywhere description on your site and it says that it is $9.95 per year. I have 2 PCs, a Tablet, and a Notebook. I need to pay $9.95 a year to sync them all?

I do not understand WHY IT IS A SUBSCRIPTION.

If I purchase the Desktop 7, is it a yearly subscription also?
Thanks!
Sep 7 2012 at 12:41pm
Siber Systems @software software,

Please note that this offer is NOT a yearly subscription. This offer is for RoboForm Desktop, not RoboForm Everywhere. RoboForm Desktop and RoboForm Everywhere are two different products. RoboForm Desktop is a one time purchase for one desktop license.

RoboForm Everywhere is a yearly subscription that can be purchased at our website http://www.roboform.com. It is $9.95 (50% off for the first year and $19.95 yearly afterwards). You can access your data on all of your computers and mobile devices, which is why it is a yearly subscription. So instead of paying for licenses for all of your devices, one license can be used Everywhere- on every device and computer that you have!

So in your case, RF Everywhere would be the best option for you so that you access your data on all of your devices. RF Everywhere syncs so that all of your RF data is the same on all of your devices. Thanks for your questions.

Thanks,
Michelle

Sam Calabrese Folks seem confused by some of the comments. I have been using RoboForm Desktop and RoboForm2Go for many years and offer this feedback:

- Each RoboForm Desktop license is for a single computer.

- Each RoboForm2Go license is for a single thumb-drive or other portable storage device.

- Each RoboForm Everywhere license is a subscription (usually annual) letting you store your RF data on a remote server that you may access from any number of devices - as long as you have an Internet connection.

I use RF2Go as my "master" database. I also have RF Desktop on desktops and laptops. Periodically I sync the RF databases using GoodSync2Go, installed on the same thumb-drive with RF2Go. I've gone through **many** PW managers over the years but this arrangement has worked well for my needs. I don't use RF Everywhere because much of the time I cannot reach the 'outside' world.

I work in a **very** security-conscious organization. Although RF is indeed strongly encrypted, for my own peace of mind I keep RF2Go installed on a hardware encrypted thumb-drive (256-bit AES). RF still works great from behind that extra layer. I always the thumb-drive with me and never worry about it being compromised, lost, or stolen. Still, we must always be careful what devices we plug into. RF will secure your data but it still needs you to exercise good security practices.

Also consider that RF can store a lot more than just passwords, although that is its specialty. I store notes, contact info, serial numbers, sever passwords, SSN and bio info, account numbers, etc.
Sep 7 2012 at 1:49pm
DroidLuvr [...@Sam: FYI - I have the Everywhere version, and just so you know, it does not require Internet connectivity to use it! For example, I have it installed on my laptop and my Android phone, but I only need internet access when I need to sync my data.]

@everyone: On my laptop, without internet, it does have all the previously synced and stored data. It just couldn't update from anything I added from my phone until I could sync with internet connection :)

Although I agree that annual subscriptions are not my first choice, this one is worth it, although I really wish I could buy a "lifetime" or at least a longer subscription than just yearly. I couldn't live without it now that I have it though! It just does
everything you could want to save websites, identity and credit card info, passwords, etc.

I also use GoodSync and I just couldn't be happier with Siber Systems support too! As an I.T. tech for more than 20 years, I have to say this company is as good as it gets for all their products!
Sep 7 2012 at 3:05pm
John French I bought RoboForm in January, 2002, and haven't stopped since!! I switched to Everywhere when it came out, and now have it on my PC, iPhone, Android pad, flashdrive, and 2 laptops. If you only want it for one device, use the Desktop; otherwise get the Everywhere -- it is a full-fledged syncing database system with tight security. You won't go wrong.
Sep 7 2012 at 7:14pm
Amit Will it work with portable browsers - portable firefox, opera etc. - as I really use portable browsers to some more extent.
Not talking about regular browsers installed, which will be supported obviously.

And I was intrested in roboform2go for usage on multiple computers etc. - so can roboform2go be used like that ie. on multiple computers or only 1 computer? And is the license of it tied to a usb pen drive ?

I am not looking for an annual subscription of roboform everywhere, only roboform2go.
Sep 7 2012 at 7:54pm
Sam Calabrese @DroidLuvr - THANK YOU for the clarification!! I was mistaken and thought you needed the connectivity to access to the RF data store. Wow - this bears another look! I couldn't be happier with Siber Systems products.

For all the fence-sitters out there, just try it. It's the best $15 you'll ever spend for security software. It just works - and well.

Michelle
Siber Systems Inc. - Sep 8 2012 at 1:24pm
Siber Systems @Steven,

Version 8 is currently not in our plans, so there is no ETA on its release. If we do release a major version upgrade, we usually provide users with a discount to upgrade ($10 off) or even give free upgrades to users who purchased the previous version within a specific amount of time. I cannot give details on this though because there are no plans at the moment.

You can use the version that you purchase for as long as you want, it just may not work with the most up to date browsers if we do upgrade to another version number.

Siber Systems Amit,

Please ask our support team about portable browsers at http://www.roboform.com/support.

Also, RF2GO is one license per USB or portable drive. So you can use it on multiple computers, just not at the same time because you are taking the software with you on your USB/portable drive wherever you go.

Steven Avery Siber,

"RoboForm Desktop is a one time purchase for one desktop license. ... You can use the version that you purchase for as long as you want, it just may not work with the most up to date browsers if we do upgrade to another version number. "

Thanks
So it would be more accurate to say:

"a one time purchase...PLUS future upgrades...for one desktop license".

==============

Now ... please ... answer the questions above about the export function, since that is a fundamental question of software ethics. Was this changed, and even crippled, at 6.10, as asserted by a number of former users ? (Some of whom tried cumbersome work-arounds like reinstalling an earlier version.)

And please explain why you think any newbie would get involved in a password entry program that does not offer full and complete and straightforward export capability ?

Thanks.

Siber Systems @Steven,

Thank you for your suggestions and I apologize for missing your second posting.

As far as the export function goes, I will check in to this information further, as that is something that I will have to speak to our developers about. We do have import and export functionality in our software.

With your concerns about social media and our support team- I am not a part of our support team, but they do an outstanding job! As with any company, you are going to see good and bad reviews for support. I apologize if you have came across any negative reviews.

Social media is an everyday part of users' lives, especially in software- since this is how we reach a majority of our users. We do offer promotions via our social media outlets, but we also get our users involved with contests, asking them questions and suggestions, answering some support questions online, and posting articles, tips, and suggestions for better password management and online security.

Thanks,

Siber Systems Hi @Steven,

Here are the answers to the questions that you asked previously:

Question #1: "Version 6.9 allowed you to export your logins, passwords and URLs for import into other password applications but version 6.10 will not let you export "

There was a print list function in 6.9 that printed the entire login URL. Some users used this function as a quasi export function. We received numerous complaints from our users that the Print List function needed to improve, because when users printed their list of Logins, they wasted a ton of paper, and the formatting wasn't great because the login URLs were too long. So we changed the function from printing the full URL to printing the base URL. That's the only change we made.

Question #2: " Siber Systems has also gone back and removed the option to export with the full URL from version 6.10.2 "
See above.

"The export function was removed from Roboform 7"
This is inaccurate. See above. We simply shortened the Login URL at the request of numerous users.

Question #3: "Please let us know, were these concerns correct when expressed ? What is the current export situation? Would you agree that there is a basic ethical issue involved in having a fully functional export function available?"

We made a change that was based on user feedback. We understand that not all users use our software the same exact way. It's one of the challenges of creating software. What is good for most users may not be good for all users. In this case the majority of our users like the changes, but we have not yet been able to satisfy all users.

Should you have any specific recommendations, please feel free to submit them to our customer support team, who will then discuss them with the developers.
