RoboForm2Go was reviewed by Gabriela Vatu. I did not want to upgrade to Roboform 8 because I wasn't sure if it was free or not. That said, the following week I received a notification from Roboform 7 that an update was available - I chose to download it. During the setup I was warned that the update was irreversible. Afterward, I realized that I had actually installed Roboform 8! At this point, I decided to uninstall Roboform 8 and go back to version 7 using a backup.
I was very unpleasantly surprised to find that the upgrade caused my Roboform 7 license to become invalid, and now I'm stuck using the 'free' mode.
Now Roboform 7 keeps asking me to register the program. I have searched and searched online to find the answer to this question - what happens when Roboform 8 ends the trial mode? Is the upgrade to Roboform 8 free or not? I had pretty much the exact same experience as you - I decided to try Roboform 8 to see what it was like, only to find out that the upgrade invalidated my Roboform 7 license.
This was rather unexpected and sneaky - and to be quite frank, upset me. Since my paid license for Roboform 7 was now invalid, I decided to run Roboform 8, anyway. I then emailed the company and asked if Roboform 8 is free or not as per your question and there are a few issues you need to know about.
The short and simple answer is that Roboform 8 is indeed free. With that said, I'll assume the majority of people reading this article will want to apply for the free upgrade - as such, I'll discuss a few hurdles I had to go through. If you need help backing up your Roboform 7 data and plan to upgrade to Roboform 8, I can help with this transition.
I can also help setup a 'centralized Roboform database' so that you can use Roboform 8 on multiple computers in the home or office so that they all share the same Roboform data.
If anyone reading this article needs help upgrading to Roboform 8: simply contact me briefly describing the issue and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I haven't had any difficulties maintaining my Roboform 8 free, upgraded from Roboform 7 free.
No trial notifications; no nuttin'. But my wife's computer which had the Roboform 7 trial on it a few years ago; which I had uninstalled; and on which I have installed Roboform 8, continues to tell her the trial is over sync is off.
But Roboform 8 still runs just fine. Regarding Roboform 8 not launching in Firefox -- I've got this problem on my computer, but not on my wife's. There's an easier solution than rebooting. I've found that if I go into my Firefox Add-ons and disable Roboform and then immediately enable it, the Roboform login window opens just fine.
One can also log into Roboform from the icon in your system tray. This behavior started either with a Firefox upgrade or Roboform upgrade -- I didn't pinpoint the exact time it started.
I originally thought it was just an aberration, but I am comforted that it's not just my computer encountering these difficulties. Otherwise, I've got to report that I have tried two or three other password managers Sticky Password being the worst and I'm most comfortable with Roboform I readily admit that as with most applications, it's mostly a matter of personal taste. In view of the unexpected and sneaky behavior of Roboform, this time, have you checked out Lastpass.
Though Roboform could ultimately turn out to be the best product for me too, I am growing increasingly frustrated by it. My experience with this sneaky Roboform 8 upgrade is just part of it. I have long had the mentioned issue of the Roboform toolbar not working in Firefox. I spent a great deal of time and effort trying to get Roboform's support department to come up with a solution.
They led me to believe that I was pretty much the only user that had reported the issue. They persisted in suggesting that something was corrupt in my specific Firefox installation.
They never once suggested this workaround. I passed it on to them and got nothing in the way of appreciation. After reading here of two other users encountering the exact same thing, I am now more convinced than ever that it is a known issue that for whatever reason Roboform doesn't want to admit.
I do sync Roboform and therefore my upgrade will indeed result in my having to pay for it. As I understand it, the fee is a subscription that's billed annually. I'd actually feel much safer not having the data synced to the cloud, but I use Roboform on my phone and tablet iOS and Android too. I am guessing a centralized local database that Dennis could create would not be usable cross-platform.
I will monitor to see if Dennis replies to this; if not, I'll probably email him directly to ask. I'll add that I have had a new issue ever since upgrading to Roboform 8 of any passcards that I modify no longer being accessible with my master password. The prompt states that the entered password cannot open the passcard. Nothing Roboform has said to me about that issue makes any sense to me. It's especially disturbing because it seems like it could well involve a security flaw.
I am getting more and more serious about trying out other password managers and I would welcome recommendations. It may be possible to do this by storing all your passcards on Google drive, then reference this path on all your devices that use Google Drive. I have not tried this, however the 'single database' I was referring to was for Windows machines on the same network and not a mix and match of different operating systems.
I've been using eWallet from iliumsoft since the days of the PocketPC later renamed Windows Mobile and then discontinued in favor of the completely incompatible Windows Phone. It lets you save its data file to your dropbox or other cloud storage site. That way you have your synch without it being on a site with a big target painted on its back. It has all kinds of templates for everything from website passwords to credit cards, bank accounts, health info and simple free text cards.
All of the templates also have free text fields. The password cards can try to log you on to a site if you include the url, but this often is tripped up by the lack of standardization in website pages. I'm currently using Roboform 7. When I check for a new version it responds that I am using the latest version. It makes no reference to Roboform 8.
