Complete path of RoboForm saved files
RoboForm Companion tries to find the folder where RoboForm
stores its Forms. But you can change or set this folder manually.
Usually, RoboForm uses "C:\My RoboForm Data\" merged with
your Identity name.
If you have multiple Identities, you can change it here or you
can set the root folder used by RoboForm (usually "C:\My
RoboForm Data\").
This setting must be set else the program will not work. If you
are able to see some forms in the Forms List, it's mean that the
setting is properly set.
With this button you can browse your folders to
select the wanted folder.
Check for a newer version at startup
Check this box to be warned when a newer

You can verify manually if a newer version
is available in the Help menu.

Check this box to let RoboForm Companion to be minimized in
the system tray when you minimize the application. A small icon
will be placed near the clock. You can have a status by placing
the mouse over the icon and wait a couple of seconds. To restore
the program, just double click on the icon.
When this option is checked, it prevents a web site from spawning
a popup. Without this, the program will continue but if you submit
many forms, you can have many web browsers opened after the
process.
Recommended setting: Checked
Enable Multiple Page Login for a form
When this option is checked, the program will be able to submit more
than one page for a single contest. For example, many contests have
one or more confirmation pages to submit. To do that, the second
and next saved forms name must have exactly the same name that
the first one and terminated by " - 1", " - 2", etc.
Example: For a contest, you saved the form name "06-04-10 Bahamas
trip". This contest asks for a skill question on another page after the
submission of the first page. On the second page, fill the fields and
save it as follow: "06-04-10 Bahamas trip - 1" (don't forget the spaces
before and after the "-"). Now, if you select both forms in RoboForm
Companion and this option is enabled, the program will submit both
pages sequentially.
You can have up to 10 consecutive pages.
For some contests, RoboForm can return an error when there is no field
to fill - for example when the second page only contain a submit
button. In these cases, you can try to change the sequential number by
an "S". In the precedent example, the last page would be named "06-
04-10 Bahamas trip - S". RoboForm Companion will try to find the submit
button and press it, but it could not works if they are more than one
buttons on the page.
Warning: Do not use this formalism on different single contest page
because RoboForm Companion will think this is a "multiple pages"
contest.
