PromotionsAndDiscounts: How is a program like Roboform or even another program that’s a password manager, how is that kind of a program better than something like auto complete?
ROBOFORM (BILL KERRY): Well the main difference between Roboform’s auto complete and Firefox’s auto complete is that Roboform takes that information and stores secure files on your computer and those files are protected with military level type of encryption. You use three different encryption standards. Our default one is AES which is two hundred and fifty-six bit encryption, which essentially means it hasn’t been hacked ever. So we take your user name and password information and secure them in secure files on your computer and with auto complete and Firefox’s methodology none of this stuff is secure. Basically you hit save on a regular file on your computer and it’s not in a secure location and it’s very easy to get to and you don’t even need to be a sophisticated hacker to figure out where it is. And to show you how insecure it is, we’ll actually, during our installation process, we show you all the user names and passwords that you have stored in auto complete and in Firefox and ask if you’d like to automatically convert those into a secure Roboform pass card.
PromotionsAndDiscounts: That blew me away actually when I first installed Roboform that it was able to grab all those passwords from Internet Explorer and that is what I was using at the time. If people are using Firefox or Opera’s password managers or some other browser, will it also grab those passwords and turn them into secure passwords if they are using those other browsers and they download Roboform?
ROBOFORM (BILL KERRY): It should with Firefox–with Opera we are not working with very closely– with them because they do have their own password manager and so I am not positive if we even look for them actually. I know we look for the auto complete and we do look for Firefox I’m fairly certain, but with the Opera we haven’t really been able to work too closely with them like we have with all the other browsers out there.
PromotionsAndDiscounts: I know that there are a lot fewer people using Opera so probably not as high of a priority.
ROBOFORM (BILL KERRY): Yes. It’s a smaller percent of the market. I think they have maybe two and a half percent share and it’s a pretty good browsers I wouldn’t say anything negative just because we’re not working with them but it’s a pretty good browser, it’s pretty quick but you know they don’t have the manpower like a Firefox and obviously Internet Explorer to really get their name out there and so we do try to focus on the bigger guys.
