CNET says RoboForm’s iPhone application has major faults

Installed on the browser toolbars of many PCs, the RoboForm password organizer has been lauded as a convenient way to keep Internet log-in information organized. RoboForm recently released an app for the iPhone designed to take its functionality to a mobile setting, but CNET News reports that there are multiple problems with the application that limit the ability of users to get results from it.

The story slams RoboForm for forcing you to have its password management software installed on your desktop before being able to use it on your iPhone. In addition, the inability to run multiple third-party applications on the iPhone means that there are multiple steps that need to take place in order to fill the iPhone version of RoboPhone with your password and log-in information.

Using an online password manager such as Mitto.com can solve many of these problems. Because it is Internet-based, there are no issues with being able to only use it on certain devices. And with the ability to instantly get access to your passwords no matter where you are, you don’t need to install software or passwords on different devices.
