Roboform password manager support no problem in desktop mode, but how do I get access to it when using Immersive browser.
If the answers "can't"- What use is it without a password manager, or perhaps there's a clever app around?

Short answer for : the Immersive (Metro/Modern) Internet Explorer in Windows 8/8.1 was designed not to load traditional browser add-ons (toolbars, BHOs, ActiveX). RoboForm’s IE toolbar is a desktop add-on, so it won’t appear inside the Immersive browser. That limitation is by design for the Modern UI browser, so there is no way to make the RoboForm toolbar show up inside that immersive view.

Practical workarounds:

  • Use the Desktop version of Internet Explorer (launch IE from the Desktop) when you need RoboForm autofill; the desktop IE loads the RoboForm toolbar and extensions.
  • Use a desktop browser that RoboForm supports (Chrome or Firefox) and install the RoboForm extension there; those browsers run in the desktop environment and will work with RoboForm.
  • Use the RoboForm application itself (system tray/menu or the desktop app) to open saved Logins or copy credentials when you must use the immersive browser. If you have RoboForm Everywhere, the online vault is another way to access credentials from any browser and paste them manually.

Notes and cautions: manual copy/paste increases exposure (clipboard remains readable until cleared), so clear the clipboard after use. The recovery-software suggestion from does not address the immersive-browser limitation and isn’t relevant here. If a true Modern UI (full-screen) password-manager experience is required, look for Windows Store apps from password managers; otherwise the reliable option is to use desktop browsers for full RoboForm integration.

Not sure how Easeus fit's into my problem. My question concerns the possible use of Roboform Password Manager when using Microsoft Emersive browser-as it's called. It would be useful to know if I can display Roboform's toolbar as in the desktop browser.Thanks anyway!
