RoboForm2Go Editor's Review

RoboForm2Go is an application designed to help you manage online identities, passwords and generally speaking, automatically fill all online forms that require personal data, logins and passwords.

The important fact is that the program can be installed and launched from a USB Flash drive. All personal data, passwords, logins, etc., will be stored on the removable drive and you won't have to worry about temporary storage on local drives. All data is stored in secure 'passcards' protected by encrypted passwords (encryption algorithms: DES, 2DES, AES, Blowfish, RC6). You have the option of creating strong passwords using the password generator, in case you feel uninspired.

The program stores your form completion data divided into three sections: the 'Logins' section stores your usenames and passwords, the 'Identities' section will store personal data such as name, phone numbers, business information, banking information, addresses, etc. You can store small protected text in the 'Safenotes' section; this is very helpful when you need to add comments to different 'passcards'.

You can use this program with any browser using the Internet Explorer Engine. I tested the program using Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers and it worked like a charm. You can configure RoboForm2Go to start each time you insert your Flash drive. You can also set RoboForm2Go name and icon on the removable drive. Another data protection feature is the option to create/and restore backups of your files.

The interface is nice and ergonomic. You can set the program to show a toolbar on the bottom side of the browser or you can access it from the Windows traybar.

Pluses: A feature that I personally liked a lot was the thing that you can set the program to log off after a certain period of idle time; this is an extra security measure which prevents disclosure of data due to the fact that you forgot to close it. If you request any data after logoff, you will need to re-renter the master password. RoboForm2Go files can be automatically sent by email as attachments, as the program will automatically detect the local email client.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: Due to its mobility, high security level and usability, I may say that this is one of the finest password managers on the market. Excellent!.
