“Roboform” for Macs

When i used to use my PC, I was addicted to Roboform. It was so useful! I know firefox stores passwords, and that’s how I’ve been getting by on my macbook thus far (since the switch), but I miss roboform.

Is there anything just like this for the Mac?

Since I got my Mac. I’m searching for software like Roboform to manage my passwords and fill forms. Roboform was the one application I truly missed, but it is for Windows. Safari comes with an auto-fill function and a keychain to keep up with passwords, but it is limited in nature. Only about 30% of the websites I had in Roboform were able to be auto-filled by Safari. I posted several messages on Apple web forums asking for a Roboform replacement. I got a couple of suggestions, but basically there was nothing available. I googled “Roboform for Macs” almost daily in hopes of finding something. I even took the time to have a long e-mail exchange with the developers of Roboform and practically begged them to do a Mac version. (on ANY Mac browser) In the end, they were not interested in doing Roboform for Macs.

Late one night last week I decided to check out the MacZOT of the day and I almost had a stroke.

Introducing Mac OS X Password Manager 1Passwd

1Passwd is touted as a “Password Manager and Form Filler for Mac OS X” and it fills this bill very nicely. I downloaded the demo which allows up to 12 sites to be saved and took it for a spin. Not only does 1Passwd give me back my Roboform functionality it does it with a prettier face and less annoying operation. After registering the program, I was able to import all of Roboform passcards and all of the items Safari had saved in my keychain. 1Passwd uses its own keychain and has .MAC sync so that my iBook and iMac can always have the current passwords. This is totally awesome. With Roboform, I always had to copy passcards over manually. After importing 200+ passcards from Roboform, I tested several of the sites that Safari’s auto-fill could not handle and 1Passwd was up to the task. 1 Passwd is capable of filling forms with more information than the inadequate address book entry that Safari uses. I can setup identities just like in Roboform. Plus, 1Passwd is much easier on your toolbar than Roboform as it only adds one key icon and automates tasks that Roboform made you deal with constantly. Finally, it not only generates new passwords when needed, it fills and saves them. (something Roboform doesn’t do) The developers of 1Passwd are my new heroes. They deserve to have a monument built in their honor!

If you are Windows switcher who is longing for a Roboform for Mac, then fly to the 1Passwd website and download it. If you have never used Roboform or 1Passwd before then you don’t know what you are missing. Surfing without them is like fishing without bait! I cannot recommend 1Passwd highly enough.
