I've stopped using RoboForm

I stopped using RoboForm at version 6.9.

Don't get me wrong...  I loved RoboForm.  It was almost seamless in it's integration with the browser.  I had hundreds of passwords stored and negligible delay.  I could generate a new password in a couple of clicks.  I even ignored websites that wouldn't work with RoboForm.

But then RoboForm decided that my passwords were their data, to store on their servers.  So when Apple or WalMart bought them, then they owned my passwords. Or when Russia or China or Houston hacked them, then I'm pwned.

So now I use KeePass.  The browser responsiveness suffers. But my security -- the whole point of passwords -- is my responsibility again.
