I don't know what solution you're looking for.  I use Roboform extensively 
for secure logins (many) and for sweepstakes (even many more).  Here are my 
experiences:
1.  Roboform cannot fill every form
2.  Sometimes it only fills part of the form
3.  Sometimes it enters the wrong information.
4.  Others, however, should not be put off by the above because it easily 
fills about 98% of the ever changing forms I encounter.

I have a feeling that some of these forms are specifically programmed to 
prevent programs such as Roboform from functioning correctly.  I have 
another program in reserve called ShortKeys which will fill anything, but 
you have to do it one field at a time.  I use it when Roboform doesn't work.
