It's not often that I stumble across a piece of shareware that I use every single day, but Roboform from Siber Systems now occupies just such a vaunted position on my desktop. If you're anything like me, you have dozens of logons and passwords for different Web sites. Most people maintain this information informally in everything from text files to Post-It notes, and passwords are forgotten all the time.

Roboform is a spiffy little browser utility that enables you to store all your logon, password, credit card and personal information in one place. It does a great job of populating Web forms with the information you need, saving you time and preventing errors. It also appears to be free of adware, spyware and other privacy invasions that infest a lot of free software utilities. I've been using for two months with no problems, and Roboform has genuinely made my life easier. I highly recommend it.
