Never forget a login or a password again!

I surf hundreds of different Web sites every day. A good portion of them, such as online e-mail services, Web-based work tools, and members-only message boards, require a login before I can gain access. In addition to sites and services that require only a login and a password, I also occasionally need to fill out forms when I register for software, sign up for a new service, or buy something online.

While it's not a lot of trouble to fill in the blanks, it can be time-consuming filling out the same information over and over again. Fortunately, I discovered form-filling software that does all of the tedious work for me, giving me access at the click of a button. Even better, these apps perform double duty by remembering my numerous login names and passwords so that I can get in without a lot of guesswork.

Here are my current favorite programs for filling in the blanks in just about any online form.

KeyWallet is the only free program of this group, yet it comes packed with cool features. Once you've trained KeyWallet to work with your favorite sites and forms, it's easy to just click and fill forms in a few short steps. You can even download skins if you get bored with the interface. (Free/Windows)

WebM8 also fills in logins and forms for you, but it adds the convenience of a drop-down menu for forms that require more than just the standard login and password. WebM8 works with almost any browser, and it also encrypts your logins, passwords, and other private info so that you don't have to worry if you share your computer with other users. (Shareware/Windows)

RoboForm is my favorite of the group for filling out forms. I use this one to quickly fill out software registrations, time cards, and member sites, all by using the small window that pops up every time I need something filled in. I mentioned that KeyWallet works great once you've trained it--Roboform almost trains itself. (Shareware/Windows)

If you find yourself filling out way too many forms or you just need an easy way to keep track of logins and passwords, grab one of these programs. Once you get used to them, you'll love how easy it is to log in to any site.
