RoboForm – You Can Have Multiple RoboForm Profiles
You Can Have Multiple RoboForm Profiles
If you share a computer with other people and you want to have several separate sets of Passcards and Identities within one Windows user then use RoboForm Profiles for this. Available only in RoboForm Pro.
RoboForm Profile.
Each RoboForm Profile is an independent set of Passcards, Identities and Safenotes that has a separate Master Password.
Current Profile.
Current Profile is the RoboForm Profile that is currently seen in RoboForm.
Initially RoboForm creates a Profile for you that has is named “Default Profile”.
New Profile.
Select “RoboForm -> Profiles -> New” to create new RoboForm Profile. Newly created Profile becomes current.
New Profile initially has no Passcards or Identities and it has no Master Password.
Switch Profile.
Select “RoboForm -> Profiles -> <ProfileName>” to switch from one Profile to another.
Remember that each RoboForm Profile has a separate Master Password.
Rename Current Profile.
Select “RoboForm -> Profiles -> Rename” to rename the current Profile.
Delete Current Profile.
Select “RoboForm -> Profiles -> Delete” to delete the current Profile.
The Profile that follows the deleted Profile will become current.
Technical Details.
RoboForm Profile is just a folder (or tree of folders) with RoboForm Passcards, Identities, Safenotes and Master Password in it.
So list of RoboForm Profiles is computed as all folders that are: (i) siblings of the current RoboForm Profile folder, and (ii) contain Passcards, Identities, or Safenotes files.
Multiple Windows Users
Separate Windows users maintain separate sets of RoboForm User Data and Settings:
* Each Windows user has its own RoboForm Profile, so Identities, Passcards, Safenotes and Master Password.
* Each Windows user has its own set of RoboForm settings (options that you see in “RoboForm -> Options”).
Installing RoboForm.
When you install RoboForm, it installs only for the current Windows user.
However if you check “Install RoboForm for All Windows Users” checkbox in the installer, RoboForm installs for all Windows users.
Limited and Administrator Users.
If a Windows user is Limited (that is, not Administrator) and Administrator user did not previously install RoboForm then Limited User will not have RoboForm controls that can be installed only by Administrator:
- RoboForm buttons in Standard IE toolbar,
- RoboForm context menu items in IE and IE-based browsers.
If you want Limited User to use all RoboForm controls, you must first install RoboForm from Administrator user and then install it from the Limited User.
