What should I use to automatically fill in forms?

QI suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands, which makes typing difficult. In the past I used Roboform to fill in forms automatically on my computer, but it doesn’t run on Windows 10. Is there another program I can use? CJ Chandler

AGood news: Roboform ( www.roboform.com) has been updated for Windows 10. Its new version 8 can complete all sorts of forms - both online and on your PC - using details you’ve stored. It can also generate and enter an unlimited number of usernames and passwords for you, which is a boon for your security as well as saving you from further pain. You can even use it as a private safe for storing important notes and contacts.

We installed and tested Roboform using Windows 10 and Chrome, and it worked a treat - although the desktop program wouldn’t open until we’d enabled the extension in Chrome. Once you’ve got it up and running, click Roboform in the top-left corner of the program window, then Options and click Autofill to configure its settings (see screenshot). By default, it asks your permission before filling in forms. This is the most secure option, but you can set it to go ahead and fill in forms without any further clicks from you. The program then runs in the background, and displays a menu of options when you click its icon in your system tray. For more guidance, see the tutorial at www. snipca.com/24520.

The full version of Roboform costs $19.95 (£15.50) per year and can sync your autofill information across multiple devices, but the free version is plenty if you’ll only use it on your Windows 10 PC and in your browser.

If you use Firefox, you may also like the Autofill Forms extension ( www.snipca.com/24521). We found this trickier to set up than Roboform, but it offers more features, including multiple keyboard shortcuts for filling in different types of information with one click.
