RoboForm Pro Version 6.9.98
It works!
I never have used a Password saving program. I just did not trust them. I don’t know why. I have no excuse for that feeling. I am even more nervous about having passwords stored in the clouds as we now call the internet located storage places. And yet I have, at times in the past, stored my passwords in a MS word document right on my computer. I don’t do that anymore. I now am using RoboForm. I guess it was about time that I finally figured out that the Word document in the computer would be really helpful to the person who might steal it or just to access my private information. Whereas the RoboForm stored list of secrets would not be easily accessed by others unless I wrote that password down somewhere. I do have to mention that YOUR RoboForm password is the ONE password you should never forget.
