For most users we suggest AES or Blowfish, but all of these will prove decent cover.Īlthough you probably can’t beat 1password for Mac, RoboForm is by far the best password manager for PC. We can only lament that the program does not explain the inherent differences between these algorithms. For any element you create, RoboForm offers five known encryption algorithms to choose from for your entries: Blowfish, AES, RC6, 1DES and 3DES. Not only can you choose the number and types of characters, but also exclude similar characters (like 1 and I or O and 0) or limit to hexadecimals.

If you’re having troubles finding a proper password you can use the password generator found in tools. To protect against phishing, RoboForm will always compare a website URL to the one corresponding to your password. From then on, you won’t have to worry about entering those details when accessing the page, as RoboForm will handle it automatically. Every time you enter a user name and password for a website, RoboForm will offer to store it. When browsing the web, logins will probably be the item you use most. We tested it out on a number of forms and were actually surprised at how well this function works.

Once it’s all stored in RoboForm, you’ll be able to fill in online forms in a click. Enter information like phone numbers, address, company, bank account details and Social Security Number. The first time you launch Roboform you should create multiple identities. So how does RoboForm work? The application, tucked into your system tray, can store web passwords, safe notes and identities.
