A Software I Cannot Live Without

There are some software which I just can’t do business without. I would like to mention one here which has saved me a considerable amount of time in my online business.
The software I’m about to mention is not something new. If you’ve been visiting internet marketing forums, then I’m sure you’ve heard of it.
What this software does is saves your username and password, and also autofills forms for you.
Doesn’t sound very exciting does it? Well let me explain more in detail on how I use it in my business.
I have many websites which I host on my dedicated server. When I access cpanel for each of the websites, I only need to type in the login once (username and password).
Afterwards, if I access which ever domain’s cpanel, I can click on a button on my toolbar and it will autofill the login details and help me login to the website.
Another situation where I use this software daily is for my affiliate programs. I’m an affiliate for many products and services. Again, using this software, I just bring up the website with Google Bookmark and click on this button in my browser’s toolbar to auto login. I have around 50 affiliate programs which I need to login and check the stats for. Imagining checking these different login details in an excel file (which I did previously).
There are so many things which you can use this simple, but time saving tool for. Such as web mail acount logins, membership sites and administering blogs.
Another feature of this handy tool is an autofill form. Where you can fill out the standard fields once, and then it can memorize the fields per profile for you.
For example, if you fill out the credit card information for a certain website, you can use that same information for other websites that require your credit card details when purchasing.
For me, I use my personal credit card, my business credit card and my wife’s personal credit card. So the software will prompt me to choose one of three profiles when filling out the form. An absolute time saver! No more getting my credit card out of the wallet and filling in the address details etc…

That’s another thing I love about this software. It lets you choose different logins when using the same form. For example, for my paypal login, it will prompt me for 3 different email addresses that I have saved for Paypal.
Apart from saving login details and autofilling forms, the software also allow me to autogenrate passwords. By that I mean complex passwords. Hey, I don’t even have to remember passwords anymore.
Some people may be concerned with the security of this software. Well the software has that sorted out as well.
The software uses strong encryption and algorithms which means it is very, very difficult to hack into the program and retrieve all your password even if the software files are physically copied by hackers.
All you need for the software to work is remember a Master Password. You need to enter this password once every time you boot up your machine to start using the software.
Now what happens if your machine crashes? There is a backup feature in the software where you can backup the files into a secure place. If you do have a disaster, then you can easily restore the backup and nothing is lost.
By not needing to check your affiliate program passwords, sometimes it will save you around 10 minutes. This includes opening the excel spreadsheet and checking old emails or resetting passwords using the web forms.
Also when you fill out long registration forms which require checkout information, this in itself will save you another 5 minutes including getting the credit card out of your wallet.
If you are submitting your articles to ezine directories, then the time saved will really add up when you try to login 10 or more directories when submitting your articles.
This software on average has saved me 20 minutes of my time per day. This comes to around 140 minutes (2 hrs 20 mins) per week or 600 minutes (10 hrs) per month.
Just imagine, saving 10 hours of your time per month. Not to mention the tasks for checking your credit card number, looking for your username and passwords in your spreadsheet will take the focus off the work you are currently doing. It takes another 5 minutes to re-focus yourself on the work you were doing.
Do you understand now why I highly recommend this software?
The software is called Roboform and you can download a free working version here –> Download Roboform
However, this free version is only good for saving 10 passwords. After that it will start bugging you to upgrade. If the free version is enough for you to use, then good for you. For many marketers like myself, we need a lot more.
If you made your mind up already with this software your can click here to purchase Roboform.
I would go for the USB key version which is a bit more expensive at $39.90 But it’s really useful for me because I can use it for my laptop and for the PC at my office.
This is one of the software which I advise all my friends and peers to buy. It takes such a huge weight off your brain and saves you so much time in the long run. It’s worth every cent if you consider how much your time is worth.
Enjoy the free version by downloading Roboform here
