Siber Systems Announces Multifactor Authentication For Roboform® Password Manager

FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Siber Systems, Inc., maker of RoboForm, the world's most popular password manager, today announced the availability of a free multifactor authentication capability. The feature, offered free to RoboForm Everywhere subscribers, allows users to extend the trusted environment for their passwords by verifying their personal laptops, PCs and mobile devices before accessing their RoboForm information.

The new multifactor authentication capability is a new layer of protection, added to the standard RoboForm user name/password log-in process on an opt-in basis. Together, the steps further increase RoboForm Everywhere's high level of security and place it among the strongest solutions on the market for cloud-based storage of personal data.

"Online security is more important to people than ever. With hackers doing their best to penetrate databases containing credit card numbers and other confidential information, it's critical to operate in a trusted environment," said Bill Carey, Siber Systems VP of Marketing. "Our new multifactor authentication accomplishes that with a minimum level of effort, giving RoboForm Everywhere users much greater peace-of-mind."

RoboForm users interested in the multifactor capability first "turn on" the feature within their RoboForm Everywhere account. After activation, the feature will send a one-time password to the user's registered email account each time they log on from an unregistered computer or mobile device. The email contains a unique code the person uses to verify the device. Once the device is registered, it is approved for repeated use along with the user name and log-in password. Devices can be deleted from the "approved" list at any time at the user's discretion.

RoboForm Everywhere is the most popular version of the award-winning RoboForm platform. It allows users to securely log-in to all their important websites, including banking, e-Commerce and social media sites, from any web-enabled computer or mobile device. It also syncs RoboForm data across all the user's devices including desktop PCs, Macs, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. In addition to eliminating the need to remember and type dozens of usernames and passwords, RoboForm also stores identities, bookmarks, and contacts.

RoboForm is available for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices. To learn more about the multifactor authentication feature or to begin using RoboForm, go to www.roboform.com.
