    Hi guys,

    Anyone know where I can download a version of Roboform 7 beta?

    Thanks

    P.S. Support is coming for Android and also mac/safari for those unlucky enough to own a mac

    Hi reck,
    Was on holidays until now, so it's good to see that RoboForm 7 is right around the corner. I'm sure you've already tested the beta version so if you have any observations I'd be glad to read more until I test this. I've seen that it is downloadable here:

    As far as I see the most important new features are the addition of logins for Windows applications (it attaches to any program that you use and requires login), unicode support for login details, a faster passcard/identity editor (true that in version 6 and previous it takes a while to load) and the support for fingerprint reader when using a master password; other changes seem cosmetic (more subtle autofill and save, favicons are recorded too to help you visually). More information can be found here: Roboform beta

    Hi Claudiu, I wondered where you might have been with all this talk of RF7.

    I managed to find the top link via their twitter feed, which I only found the other day as well.

    I've downloaded and had a quick go. I tested it with one windows app and it did log me in ok but i've found a bug with it. If the username or/and password is already in the field, it will append the username and password to the existing username and password already typed in and then fail to login because of the double entered name. Some of my windows software keep the username field populated and you just have to enter the password so I end up with the username twice. I'm sure this will be fixed prior to release though.

    To be honest i'm a bit disappointed with what I see in 7. How long has version 6 been out, it's been a few years right? I thought there would be a lot more included with the 7 release but apart from the window app integration there doesn't seem a lot there.

    I suppose they have been busy with the MAC/Safari/Crome/iphone app/Android etc to spend a lot of time on 7. In fact that seems to be the general problem. There are so many platforms to support now that development is spread so thinly updates take a long time to come out and when they do they are lacking.

    I don't want to be to negative though, I use the iphone app and I like the idea of window app integration, it just feels more like a 6.5 release than a 7 release.

    Lets hope we don't have to wait so long between 7 and 8
