Having about 150 stored passwords (and a few identities and safenotes), you can imagine that it wasn't that easy to organize them in folders, but it was easier than I was expecting it to be, so now I have all passcards stored in about 19 folders. Of course if you're visiting a website the Matching Passcards button is the magic one, but if you want to open a webpage and fill/submit the password you have to go to Logins and select the passcard - this is where organizing your passcards in folders pays off, since you don't have to scroll through hundreds of names (if you named your folders well):<br /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/spuby2000/SMgOsptQqvI/AAAAAAAAAX4/mCjA1bVSrUU/s400/roboform-folders.jpg" alt="RoboForm folders" /><br /> So, given that now everything is well organized, I'll be more careful with future logins and press that Create In button to choose a folder to put it in (button that I ignored most of the times):<br /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/spuby2000/SMgWbYKf_jI/AAAAAAAAAZU/-eSZjzL6Lr0/s400/save-passcard.jpg" alt="Create passcard in" /><br /> If you want to go through organizing your passwords too (in case I wasn't the only one not doing it), here's how you can do it:</p> <ul> <li>in the RoboForm toolbar click on the Logins button and on Edit after that to open the Passcard Editor</li> <li>right-click on the Home link on the right and choose to create a New Folder (or use the menu Passcard-Folder-New Folder) and do this as many times as you need to have your passcard folders defined</li> <li>now comes the actual organizing part, you have to select passcards (multiple selection works) and drag-drop those into the folder you want them stored. This can be done differently too, you can open Windows Explorer (or Total Commander) and go to <strong>c:\Documents and Settings\&lt;your windows username&gt;\My Documents\My RoboForm Data\&lt;your profile name&gt;\</strong>. This is where RoboForm stores its data, and you can see that your created folders are actual folders. You can use cut/paste to move your passcards in those folders (passcards have the .rfp extension). Additionally, you can move your identities (.rft extension) and safenotes (.rfn extension) in the same folders - I found this to be easier since I was using Total Commander and the two panels give you more productivity.</li> </ul> <p>If it's worth doing this or not it's up to you, I for one like to see only 19 items instead of 150 like I did before. </p>
