I’ve used the program, and use it right now to manage all of my passwords. I recommend going with RoboForm2Go, which is a portable version of the software that runs off of a USB Flash drive. This way I can use it on all computers in the house, and even computers while I’m on the road. They say it is safe enough to use on a public computer without leaving any traces of your information when you are done, although I have not tested to verify their statement on that one. Good call Joe.
