I have used Roboform for so long i do not know the date i started. I do know it was in beta at the time.
I used Lastpass for a bit because of an issue with the install of Roboform. I have since rebuilt the machine and now am back to Roboform but for a while I was using Lastpass importing my Roboform passwords. It worked as well as Roboform and actually was a bit better. I am still toying with going back to Lastpass but I have a lot invested in Roboform.
If you are looking for a great password manager and you have limited funds than I recommend Lastpass as are true viable alternative.

A big vote here for open source KeePass. We techs at the ISP where I work all use it, having tried lots of others.

Some people worry about storing their passwords online but most solutions today store only an encrypted version. You supply a “master password” when you want to get other passwords out of the vault. Of course a vendor could just say that’s what they were doing. Anyway, similar to the Roboform online solution is LastPass from http://lastpass.com It’s what I’m using.

@John Shelton Roboform does also have an online password solution (as mentioned in my reply to Jess above, in addition to the installed version. My solution is to carry a thumb drive with the Roboform2Go app, which I can then use on any computer.

What happens when a computer crashes is you restore from your backup, just like you would for any other data failure. You do backup your data, right? :)

@jess zimbabwe - Roboform online directly addresses the problem you outline by making itself accessible from any browser without needing a thumb drive, which also means it works across platforms as well. I have 14 different computers I use at various times throughout the week and I have no idea how many passwords I'm storing but it's well over 100. The post-it solution is obviously easy, but if I can see your password, then so can people with far less scruples.

I have tried Roboform on a couple of occasions and it is SERIOUSLY lacking in user friendliness. I also had an issue of multiple computers and of how I could access online applications from remote, or borrowed, computers. It appeared that I would have to know my (or an assigned) password for that condition. If I have to have a password then, why would I let a machine assign a password otherwise. What happens in a computer crash? In addition to the steep learning curve, there were several additional issues I had with Roboform. Coded sticky notes stored in an unconventional place is the better solution.

If my reservations were unfounded, Roboform does a mighty poor job of communicating this to the public.

You way oversimplify the situation. I use multiple computer and have around 80 different passwords. Most times I log into a site that I haven’t used in the last month, I end up having to request my password be emailed to me because who can remember which site requires how many alphanumerics in a row or what. I wouldn’t assume that everyone who resorts to a sticky note is just some unsophisticated rube. It’s actually difficult with few cross-machine-solutions that don’t involve carrying a thumb drive wherever you go available.
