Known Issues
- Due to slowness of the J2ME interpreter BlackBerry uses, AES encryption takes 5-10 seconds when decrypting a single file, please be patient when using this encryption method on your RoboForm data files. Or re-protect your passcards using 3DES encryption, it decrypts much faster on BlackBerry.
- Currently only AES/3DES/DES encryption methods are supported, RC6 and Blowfish are not supported.
- Currently RoboFrom for BlackBerry must be uninstalled using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager, it cannot be uninstalled directly from the “Applications” menu on the device.
