Roboform - Synced and saved, but how do I get it to work on new pc?

by Roy Carter

Hi guys

I need to get all my Roboform passwords from one pc to work on a new laptop.

I have gone to Roboform and downloaded GoodSync and have managed to save a file to an external hard-drive.

Where I am stuck is how to get that onto my new laptop so that Roboform works on that?
So I guess my question is where on the new laptop do I put the saved file so that roboform can call everthing up? Or is there something else I need to do to get Roboform working on the new laptop?

Any help gratefully appreciated guys.

Thanks in advance.

Roy

    which is why you should use lastpass. All you need is 1 password and you can use it on any comp/laptop. You just need firefox and lastpass plugin

      There are couple of ways of doing this... I did my this way...

      Go to your MyDoc folder and look for "My RoboForm Data"
      All your passwords are there. Copy the contents.

      Once you have set up Roboform on your laptop - transfer the PC copy to the corresponding data folder on your laptop.

      Or You can sync it with Goodsync via the online feature. You may need to change the "don not sync" level % - if you are doing it direct for first time.

      Right-click tab > Options > Auto

      Hope that helps!

        Confirmation here. I do the same when upgrading my computer and
        this works just fine.

      LastPass plugin looks very trendy and easy to use. Thanks Michael - I'm going to use it too.

    If you need Roboform to work on two computers, you need two licenses, or it won't work. For more than one computer, it's easier to get Roboform2go, and put it on a flash drive. I did that, but I keep it syncd to the one on my computer.

    I recently lost the flash drive that had it. I called support and they set it up so I could download to a different flash drive, which killed access to Roboform on the lost flash drive. It was kind of neat.

    Hey Roy,

    As Curt Dillion stated first you will need a second license.

    I use Roboform on all my computers and what I always due after downloading Roboform to my new computer is I put a USB flash disk into my old computer and then go to Documents and locate (My Roboform Date) open the file and take the Default profile and drag and drop it into my USB flash disk are just copy it on to the USB flash disk.

    After it's done, Take the USB flash disk and put it into the new computer and what you are going to do is locate the new Roboform (Default Profile) which is again located under Documents and then replace that one with the one on the USB Flash Drive and then on the new computer restart Roboform and after doing so all your password and information should be on the new computer.

    This is the way I do it because it's easy and I know all of my passwords are on my new computer.

    I Hope I was Able to help you out a little. I will do further research on this so that we can get your problem solved.
