Original Press Release:
Siber Systems Stops Potential Major Internet Explorer Security Threat with New RoboForm 6.6
Number One Password Management and Form Filling Utility Now Secures Personal User IDs and Passwords Exposed in IE AutoComplete; AES and Blowfish Encryption Also Added
FAIRFAX, Va., March 6 / -- Siber Systems, Inc., a leading productivity software provider, today announced the release of RoboForm 6.6, the most comprehensive protection yet for passwords, log-in information, credit card numbers and other highly private personal information. Version 6.6 of RoboForm, which also conveniently and automatically fills out online forms for users, offers a number of new security features including the ability to isolate and protect personal IDs and passwords currently left exposed in the AutoComplete directory of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
AutoComplete, a prominent feature of the Internet Explorer web browser, tracks web addresses and other recently typed information to make future repeat entries easier. The feature anticipates what the user is typing and offers possible matches. However, AutoComplete's memorization also extends to personal, confidential information such as logins and passwords. Anybody with physical or remote access to a computer may read passwords stored in AutoComplete, therefore making it susceptible to hackers and identity theft.
RoboForm 6.6 removes this potential security risk by giving users the option of converting login information stored in AutoComplete to RoboForm Passcards (Passcard is a file that stores login data for one online account) that are encrypted with a Master Password known only to authorized user. This greatly increases security of login information, making it inaccessible both to remote intruders and to persons who gain physical access to the computer.
"During the Version 6.6 installation process, users are shown the full list of personal logins and passwords stored in AutoComplete. It's a real wakeup call to see the extent of private information left open to theft," said William Carey, Vice President of Marketing for Siber Systems. "Locking down this information is just one of the many new benefits of RoboForm 6.6."
New Encryption Options
As the most highly acclaimed and widely used one-click form-fill and password management application on the market today, RoboForm has historically protected user data with Triple DES encryption. With Version 6.6, RoboForm now offers cutting-edge AES, Blowfish and RC6 encryption algorithms, giving users additional security choices.
RoboForm automates process of logging into online accounts by navigating to the login page, filling out memorized login information and clicking the Submit button. RoboForm also automatically fills out online forms from user identities that contain name, address, phone number, and other important information requested in online forms.
Greater Enterprise Flexibility
Also new in Version 6.6 is a dual password feature that makes it easy for enterprise administrators, department heads and other workplace managers to give certain low-clearance individuals ability to automatically login into account stored in RoboForm while not allowing to view or edit the actual login information.
U3 Compatibility
RoboForm 6.6 now offers support for U3, the new USB smart drive standard developed by flash storage leaders SanDisk and M-Systems. With U3, RoboForm can now be loaded on portable USB flash memory drives from SanDisk, Kingston, Memorex, Verbatim and other suppliers. The capability allows users to carry their RoboForm-based information with them; access that info on any PC with a USB port (such as Internet cafes, libraries, convention halls and more); then remove the USB drive along with any residual trace of the information.
Free 30-Day Trial
RoboForm Version 6.6 is now available for 30-day trial; personal users with 10 logins or less can use RoboForm for free even after the trial. All other users should buy the professional version of the software after the trial ends. For more information about RoboForm version 6.6, visit www.roboform.com/ .
