RoboForm
If you asked Big Geek Daddy which program makes his everyday computing experience faster, easier, and more secure then the answer
is easy: RoboForm! It remembers passwords, and not only does it fill in the passwords for you, it can do the whole login thing: go to a
site, fill forms, click the Login button. It also fills those
ubiquitous web forms in one click. There is a Pro Version for users who need to store a lot of passwords.
If you travel or use a computer outside your home to access sensitive sites that require passwords (banking, email, shopping, eBay, etc.)
then you really should be using Pass2Go. Why, because those computers at work and hotel lobbies could very well have
Keyloggers installed on them! Pass2Go is a Portable version of RoboForm that works directly from a USB key, without a need to
install it on computer. You can check the strength of your current passwords with Microsoft Password Checker
