TSGL: Roboform

[jonpan]

Thanks for the responses, Joe and Justin.

Justin, remember that you do need a password to open RF.
I also think the institutions are basically ensuring that they can eliminate 
their responsibility for security by transferring the burden to us.

I have managed to use RF twice for one logon in some cases, but in others it 
seems impossible. I'll just have to live with it - another win for the cyber 
terrorists.

I agree with Joe,

The last thing an online banking institution needs is a robot automatically
logging into their system.
