Publisher Description

We understand, you’re busy. You’ve got stuff to do. Work. Home. Play.
The only way you’ll make it through all the things that you need to do is to organize them somehow. Maybe you’ve been making do with notebooks or sticky notes—and hoping they don’t fall into the world of lost things behind your desk. But hey! You’ve got this awesome Mac sitting in front of you. You use it every day.
The new OmniFocus 2 for Mac features everything you need to seriously get stuff done, and the OmniFocus 2 for Mac User Manual is your guide to navigating all of the shiny features in the new OmniFocus. This book provides a detailed overview of every nook and cranny of the app. You’ll discover what’s new in OmniFocus 2, what features are available in OmniFocus 2 Pro, and learn about updates like Perspectives, Forecast, Review, and extensions for the latest versions of macOS.

Yes Virginia, there is a TOC, et.al.

The table of contents is accessed from an icon on the book’s window menu bar. Click to select and jump directly to that place. It goes away when focus is put back on the book itself. Maybe a TOC nav pane would be nice.
The manual is well written. Clean, concise, with very understandable explanations. Starting there, given iBook highlighting, notes, links to Omni support documents (web pages), and my creating OmniFocus events for later study I’d say this user manual is quite user friendly and eminently useful.

Useless

No TOC? No Index? Nonsense.
“Oh, but you can just search for whatever you want!”. Really? Only if I can guess what word was used for it. Otherwise, I’m clueless as to where it might appear in the book.
Just because we’ve liberated certain content from the tyranny of paper doesn’t mean we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Give me ALL the reasonably available search tools, not just the “modern” ones. Is that so hard?

Great manual

Manual Macbook Pro

This is a very useful, thorough manual. The effort that went into explaining this manual shows, and for that you guys deserve my five stars. Keep up the great work, guys. Omnigroup FTW!

Chapter 4: Logins

Use Logins to store data that is specific to a web site; data such as Usernames, Passwords, Survey fields, etc. Essentially, you can save any form data to Logins and use it to automatically fill any form later.

Saving Logins

How to AutoSave a Login

• Login manually into a website.
• AutoSave Dialog will pop up near your RoboForm Extension.
• Name your Login.
• Click Save.

Clicking Never for this site will disable RoboForm AutoSave from popping up on the website you are on.

If you would like to enable AutoSave for a website you have previously disabled AutoSave for, manually save a Login for the website, open the Matching Login button, and click Unblock.

The AutoSave dialog pops up only if the Login data you entered is New, Different, or Updated. It will not prompt you if the exact same data (E.g. Username & Password) are already saved to RoboForm.

If you have multiple accounts for the same website, RoboForm will suggest to label your new login with a number.

If you try to save a Login that has the same name as an existing Login, you will be shown a warning that says saving the Login will overwrite the data of your existing Login.

New Account Detection
RoboForm can save your Username and Password from the page where you create a New Account into a Login. Even though it’s not the exact login page, AutoSave will pop up on your New Account or Registration page.

Password Change Detection
This also works with changing your Password on an existing account; RoboForm will offer to save your new password and overwrite your old password in Logins. RoboForm Editor notes the date the password was changed (e.g. 8/03/2017: password changed from 'xxx' to 'yyy')

Forcing AutoSave

This is a tool to “Force” an AutoSave for non-standard forms such as:

• Pages that have no password fields.
• Non-login forms, which we typically classify as Identities.

Enable Force AutoSave by holding the FN key and clicking the Login/Submit button on web page.

Manual Save to Login

This is how to save a Login manually:

• Click the Save button in your RoboForm Extension.
• The Save Form dialog will open.
• Enter the Login name and click Save.
• All form data on the web page will be saved to this Login.

Updated Website
You might have to do a Resave or Manual Save of a Login if the website’s login page has been changed or updated. Simply manually login, and in the AutoSave dialog simply overwrite the original Login.

Note: RoboForm selects the best “Submit” button - which may be different from the button you want to be selected (eg: Save Info Button). Use Forced AutoSave (Fn + Click) to tell RoboForm which button to click.

Using Logins

One-Click Login

RoboForm does the entire Login sequence for you, just by going to Logins in your RoboForm Extension or RoboForm Editor and selecting or double-clicking the desired Login.

You can find all of your Logins in the Logins Menu.

All of your Logins are organized alphabetically, but there are two additional ordered lists in the Logins Menu:

• Recently Used Logins The most recently used Logins are in a reverse chronological order. The option (Clear List) clears up the Recently Used Logins list.
• Most Popular Logins These are the Logins that are used the most often. The most popular Login is shown first. The option (Clear List) clears up the Most Popular Logins list.

Another method to use a Login is through the RoboForm Search box in the RoboForm Extension or oboForm Editor. Just type your desired Login and select it.

Matching Logins

When you visit a website with one of your saved Logins, the RoboForm Extension will show the Login that best matches your website. This button is called the Matching Logins button.

Click the Matching Logins button to login to the website. The default Fill and Submit feature will automatically fill the form and submit the form.

There are more form filling options that you can see by hovering over the Matching Logins button.

These are the options:

• Fill Forms completes the forms on the page with a Matching Login.
• Fill & Submit automatically fills the form and submits the form on the website.
• Edit opens the Identity in RoboForm Editor.
• Checking the box for Fill Empty Fields Only makes RoboForm only complete the empty fields.
• Unblock will allow AutoSave to pop up when you are logging in.

Multiple Logins

If you have more than one Login that matches a web site, RoboForm will suggest to label additional logins with “ - N ”; N represents the number of additional Logins for that site.

You can find multiple logins in the RoboForm Extension. The name in the Matching Login button will use (+ N) to notate how many additional logins there are for that website.

Simply hover over the Matching Login Button to open the list of Logins that match the website.

In order to login to the account you want to use, simply select that Login out of the list and select one of the Login actions that are detailed in the section above.

Login Order

If you have more than one Matching Login for a web site, RoboForm arranges Matching Logins by how well the Login URL matches the Web Page URL:

• Login URLs that exactly match the URL of the web page will appear on top.
• Logins that match the web page URL partially will appear next.
• Logins that only match the domain will appear last.
• Domains will match with the suffixes of the URL; www.roboform.com matches online.roboform.com, but will not match www.roboform.net.

Individual Login Options

There are many other options for working with individual Logins. You can do this by right-clicking any Login in RoboForm Editor. Here are the options:

• Rename changes the name of the Login.
• Clone duplicates the Login in Logins. The duplicated item will be labeled “Copy”.
• Delete removes the Login.
• Copy copies the text of the Login.

Chapter 7: Identities

RoboForm can automatically fill long non-password forms (E.g. Online Shopping Checkouts, Sign Up Forms) with information from your Identity, which is like a personal profile.

Your main tool for managing Identities will be the RoboForm Editor which you can read more about in Chapter 8: RoboForm Editor.

In Editor, clicking on your Identity name in Navigation Pane (2nd from the left) opens an Identity Summary in the Details Pane to the right. This is an overview of all your Identity’s information.

Clicking the arrow next to your Identity name in the Navigation Pane opens a menu of Identity Elements (E.g. Person), or categories that make up an Identity.

Each Identity Element (E.g. Person) is made up of individual Identity Fields (E.g. Phone), or distinct personal details. Clicking an Identity Element will open the Identity Fields in the Details Pane to the right.

Here we will explain each Identity Element:

• Person has Identity Fields associated with an individual such as name, date of birth, SSN, phone number, etc.
• Business is the business entity that the Identity is associated with.
• Passport is your Identity’s passport.
• Address is your Identity’s physical location.
• Credit Card is your Identity’s credit card(s).
• Bank Account is your Identity’s bank account(s).
• Car is to store information about your Identity’s car(s).
• Authentication stores your favorite usernames, passwords, and security questions for creating new accounts. Note: We strongly discourage reusing password for multiple accounts.
• Custom is for any other fields that are not covered in RoboForm.
• How to Use the Custom Identity Element
  • Fill the Field Name with the question of the field (E.g. Username).
  • Fill the Field Value with your response to the question of the field (E.g. JohnSmith).
  • Other Matching Strings is for an additional Field Name that RoboForm should also detect (E.g. Field Name: Username...Other Matching Strings: User ID). When RoboForm detects an Other Matching String term, it will fill it with the Field Value.
  • Click the Save at the top of the page to save your Custom Form.

Here are more important notes about using Custom fields:

• RoboForm will remove all punctuation (, . - ! ?) in your custom fields when it fills forms.
• For a Field Value with a checkmark (E.g. Are you over 18?...✓), fill in the Field Name with the question (Are you over 18?), and the Field Value with an asterisk, or *.
• Radio Buttons allow you to only select one option out of a list (E.g. Married, Single, etc.). To create a custom field for radio buttons, simply fill your Field Value with the question (E.g. Marital status) and the field name with your answer (E.g. Single).

Note: You don’t have to enter any dashes or spaces for Identity Fields with numbers (E.g. phone numbers, driver license number).

How to Create an Identity

  • You can open this in a RoboForm Extension by selecting Edit for an Identity.
• Go through the Identity Elements (E.g. Person, Business, etc.) and complete or edit the personal details in the Identity Fields (E.g. Date of Birth).
• Once you are done, click the Save Button at the top of the Details Pane. Your information is saved despite the Edit Page still being open.

Multiple Identity Elements

If you have more than one credit card, bank account, etc, you can create multiple Identity Elements.

How to Add another Element

Chapter 12: Sharing and Sending

RoboForm Sharing and Sending feature allows you to securely share RoboForm Data (items or folders) with others.

Sharing and Sending uses a Public-Private Key Encryption which replaces the risky practice of sharing your Master Password or emailing sensitive data.

f your recipient does not have a RoboForm, the recipient will receive an email with instructions on how to create a free RoboForm account.

Sharing

Sharing RoboForm Data is like sharing a Google Doc - the shared data is updated to any changes (E.g. changing a password) and access to the shared data can be revoked at any time. The sender may choose multiple recipients.

How to Share RoboForm Data

• Right-click the item or folder in RoboForm Editor.
• Select “Sharing”.
• RoboForm Sharing window will open.
• Enter the recipient's email at the bottom and select Add.

• If they deny the request, their name will be removed from Who Has Access.
• To Revoke Shared Data, click the X on the far right of the recipient. Another dialog will pop up checking whether you are sure to revoke access to this user.

Sharing a Folder

A Shared Folder containing multiple RoboForm items is similar to a shared folder in Google Drive. Access to the shared item can be revoked at any time. The sender may choose multiple recipients.

Note: Everywhere users can only create one shared folder. Business Users can create multiple.

How to Create A Shared Folder
• Open RoboForm Editor.
• In the RoboForm App Menu, click File > New… > Create shared folder…

• To Revoke Shared Data, click the X on the far right of the recipient. Another dialog will pop up checking whether you are sure to revoke access to this user.

The sender can choose one of three different permission levels for the recipient:
• Limited: The recipient will not be able to edit or share RoboForm items in the Shared Folder. Logins can only be used to log in to websites, applications, and mobile apps - the passwords cannot be viewed in the Editor. Identities and Safenotes can be viewed in the Editor.
• Regular: The recipient can view and edit RoboForm items in the Shared Folder, and the changes they make will be propagated to other recipients and the to sender.
• Owner: Full access rights. In addition to being able to view and edit all items, the recipient can adjust permission levels, as well as add or remove other recipients (including the original sender).

Sending

Sending RoboForm Data is similar to sending an email. The RoboForm data is sent once, any changes won’t be updated (E.g. changing a password) to the recipient and access to the sent data can’t be revoked. You can send an item to multiple recipients.

How to Send RoboForm Data

• Right-click the item or folder in your RoboForm Editor.
• Select “Sending…”.

Chapter 13: Emergency Access

In case of an emergency, such as incapacitation or death, it could be vital to have a trusted person obtain access to your medical, financial, and other important information. With Emergency Access, you can set up measures for a pre-approved contact to securely receive access to your RoboForm Data after a certain time period passes.

Emergency Access uses public-private key encryption, similar to our Sharing and Sending features. This allows for secure access by the recipient without the grantor's Master Password.

To open Emergency Access and its settings, select it in the RoboForm Status Menu Icon near the date and time in the top-right.

Make sure to set up Emergency Access as soon as possible to ensure you are prepared for an emergency. Setting up Emergency Access is explained below.

How to Set up Emergency Access

• The grantor of the access will open Emergency Access in the RoboForm Status Menu Icon.
• The Emergency Access Window will open.
• Type in the email of the recipient of the Emergency Access and select the timeout period for them. The timeout period is how much time has to pass before the recipient can access the grantor’s RoboForm Data.
• An email will be sent to the recipient.
  • If the recipient's email address has a registered RoboForm account (free or Everywhere), they will receive notification via email of the pending invitation.

Chapter 14: Security Center

The Security Center identifies whether your passwords stored in RoboForm are unique, complex, and randomly generated. It further suggests which of your passwords should be changed and made stronger.

Security Center is located in RoboForm Editor as a tab in the Left Panel. Click the tab to open Security Center.

Understanding the Security Center

Security Score

Your Security Score is shown at the top of the page. The percentage score, rating (eg: “Good”), and description represent the collective strength of all of your individual passwords. The rating of the Security Score has a range of Low (0-25%), Average (26-50%), Good (51-75%), and Excellent (76-100%).

Individual Logins

Below the Security Score there are three sections that break down your Individual Logins. The tabs with red shields have items lowering the Security Score, while green shields satisfy the Security Score test.

In each of these sections, the Individual Logins can be sorted in an ascending or descending order by Name (alphabetical), Password (alphabetical), Password Strength (Weak to Strong & Vice Versa), and Age (chronological) or how long the password has been stored in RoboForm. Sort them by selecting the category name.

All Logins

The first tab on the left will be labeled Weak. This section lists all the Logins and identifies their Strength Ranking: Weak, Good, or Strong. By default, the Weak Logins are listed first.

The levels of Password Strength for individual passwords are determined by the zxcvbn algorithm, which is based on entropy or unpredictability. The strength ratings for individual passwords have a range of Weak (0-25%), Medium (26-50%), Good (51-75%), and Strong (75-100%). In order to achieve a Strong Password Strength rating, create a unique and complex password.

Reused Passwords

The middle tab is labeled Reused and lists multiple Logins with identical passwords. The number in this tab represents the amount of unique passwords that have been reused for multiple websites. Logins are organized under Groups with Reused Passwords; each Group consists of Logins that share the same password. Click the Group to open and close the list of Logins that share the same password.

Duplicated Logins

The last tab on the right is labeled Complete Duplicates and shows Logins with identical usernames and passwords for the same website. The number in this tab represents the amount of username/password combinations that have been saved more than once.

Complete Duplicates do not affect the Security Score, but have their own tab so the user can easily delete Complete Duplicates saved to RoboForm.

How to Improve your Security Score

In order to improve the strength of your passwords and increase your Security Score, follow these steps:
• Log in to a website that has a Weak score.
• Find the Account or Settings page where you can change your password.
• Next, in your RoboForm Extension, select Generate. Read more in Chapter 11: Password Generator.
• Remember to save the newly generated password in RoboForm.

Going through this process for all your weak passwords will better secure your information and improve your security score.

Some websites are under the same organizations and utilize the same Logins or Accounts, but have different URLs. These are called Mirrors; E.g. Bank of America uses mbna.com, bankofamerica.com, bofa.com, and usecfo.com.

Domain Equivalencies simplifies this problem by creating a single Login for multiple sites.

For this list, add a new domain equivalency by clicking the “ + ”, type your first domain in domain1 and the equivalent in domain2, e.g. “mbna.com = bankofamerica.com”. These settings will then apply in Matching Logins.

To delete a Domain Equivalency, select the Domain Equivalency and click the “ - ” to delete it.
