by Firefox user 17551874, 9 months agoI have used Roboform for several years - from which I can confirm just a single negative.
When you set up two pass authentication for log on, as with many similar schemes (including ebay, PayPal, Amazon, banking apps) Roboform seeks to confirm the arrangement by requesting a 6 digit randomised code.
With all other systems they supply the code in the first few characters they send in an SMS message which is reported by the SMS reader without having to log on and run an app to get the code.
However, Roboform fails this system big time by burying the code deep within the SMS message - requiring you into log on and launch an SMS reader app - and in the time this convoluted process takes the Roboform request for the code times out.
This is a major Failure (note capital 'F') of an application promoting online security - when the need to confirm an SMS code is obstructed by a design flaw which promotes bad security. Making it harder for a user to confirm the security procress is bad karma.
