Saving Form Data to Passcards In RoboForm
Saving Form Data to Passcards In RoboForm
Hello Everyone!
Thank you for stopping by.
Here is another post about my most used utility on my computer RoboForm!
There are lots of posts on the way so please subscribe to my list to get them all!
Passcards (Logins)
Use Passcards to store form data that is specific to the web site that you visit, data such as User IDs, Passwords, Magazine Survey fields, etc.
You can save any form data to Passcards and use it to robo-fill a form later.
Saving Form Data to Passcards
1. AutoSave Login Form Data to Passcard.
When you manually enter login data to login page and click the Login (Submit) button RoboForm will offer to save this login info to a Passcard by displaying the AutoSave dialog.
AutoSave Dialog
Enter the new Passcard name into the dialog and click Save.
If you have other Passcards already saved for this web site, their names will be shown in the list area below the Passcard Name.
You can select one of these names and it will automatically appear in the Passcard Name field.
If you try to save to the existing Passcard, you will be warned.
2. Forcing AutoSave.
AutoSave dialog pops up only if:
- filled form has a password field AND form data that you are saving is different from form data that you have in existing Passcards for this domain.
You can make AutoSave popup even if these conditions do not hold by:
- Holding ALT key (Alt+Shift for Firefox) and mouse-clicking the Login/Submit button on web page, OR by
- Holding SHIFT key and pressing the ENTER key in the password field (actually, any field where ENTER causes form submission).
Use Forced AutoSave to:
- Save login info from pages that have no passwords fields.
- Resave login data when login web page has changed and RoboForm misses fields or Login button but AutoSave does not come up automatically because login data is saved already.
- Save non-login forms for which you will need automatic submission by Login or Fill&Submit.
3. Manual Save to Passcard.
Click the Save button on the RoboForm toolbar.
The Save Forms dialog will come up.
Enter the Passcard name and click OK.
All form data from all forms on the web page will be saved to this Passcard.
You can also invoke the “Save Forms” command by right-clicking the web page and selecting Save Forms.
Note that Passcards saved in this way do not retain information about button that you clicked to submit the form (because you did not click any submit button).
So if you try to Login or Fill&Submit such Passcard, RoboForm will find the button it thinks is the best Submit button — which may be different from the button you wanted to be clicked.
Use Forced AutoSave to tell RoboForm which button to click.
4. Ignoring Fields in AutoSave and Login: Turing Fields.
Some sites require you to fill a field that changes on every login.
The purpose of the field is to test your intelligence and to make sure that you are not a robot (or that as a robot you are smart enough to pass Turing test).
This is what we want RoboForm to do for Turing fields:
- Login command should execute as GoFill, so that you can fill the Turing field.
- Turing field should not be auto-filled in Login or GoFill, user will fill it per site instructions.
- Turing field should not be AutoSaved, as it changes on every login.
This is how to mark a field as a Turing field using Passcard Editor.
- Let RoboForm AutoSave passcard with all fields in it, including the Turing field.
- Open this newly saved Passcard in Passcard Editor,
- Click a field that is a Turing field,
- Select “Edit -> Ignore Field”.
Editor will put “$AnyValueHere$” into the field, such fields will be ignored by AutoFill, Login and AutoSave.
This Link will open on a new page.
