Convert Gator User Data to RoboForm

Convert When Installing RoboForm.
When you install RoboForm for the first time and you have Gator installed then RoboForm will automatically offer to convert Gator User Data to RoboForm. If it does not, then at the "Where RoboForm Stores Your Data" dialog that appears after install select "Convert my Gator personal profile to RoboForm" and follow instructions.

Convert in Already Installed RoboForm.
Select "RoboForm. Options", go to "User Data" tab, click "Import from Gator" button and follow instructions.

Gator Identities vs RoboForm Users.
In Gator an Identity has a number of logins associated with it, so effectively one Identity represents a Gator user. In RoboForm one user can have several Identities, so Identities constitute an Address Book of a RoboForm User. RoboForm Passcards are not grouped under a RoboForm Identity, instead both Identities and Passcards are grouped under a RoboForm User.

This is how to convert multiple Gator Identities to RoboForm Users correctly:
* Create a RoboForm User by selecting "RoboForm. Users. New". The new user becomes current.
* Convert Gator identity into the current RoboForm User.
* Repeat the above steps for all Gator identities you want to convert.
* You can switch between RoboForm Users by selecting "RoboForm. Users. <User Name>".

Identity Country.
If you live in a country other than the United States, you should select your country in the New Identity dialog when converting. RoboForm can correctly fill country-specific fields such as phone numbers, provinces, birth dates, so it needs to know what country you are at.

Password Protection.
When you convert Gator identity to RoboForm and your RoboForm User has no Master Password, Converter will offer you to create Master Password and it will ask you whether you want to password-protect all converted Passcards and Identity. This is time to decide whether you need password protection for logins converted from Gator. When Passcard (Identity) is password-protected, RoboForm will ask for Master Password if you try to open Passcard or fill forms from it.

Manual Conversion.
If the automated steps above do not work for you then use this manual procedure:
* If you have a Gator password, remove it first: in Gator settings click "Remove" in the Gator Password section. When Gator asks for a password, type it in and click OK.
* Export your Gator data to a file with a GAT extension: in Gator settings click Export in User Information section. When "Save As" windows appears, type in the name of your file. Save this file into a folder where you can easily find it, for instance, into "My Documents" folder.
* Select "RoboForm. Options", go to "User Data" tab, click "Import from Gator" button. In there click "Browse" button and select folder to which you exported *.GAT file.
* Your exported file name will appear. Select it and click Convert.

Uninstall Gator

If the conversion is complete and you do not need Gator, you can uninstall it:
* Open "Control Panel" and click "Add / Remove Programs".
* Select "Gator eWallet" and click the Add/Remove or Yes/No button. Wait until the goodbye web page appears.
* Select "Offer Companion" and click the Add/Remove or Yes/No button. Let the uninstaller run.
* Select "Precision Time" and uninstall it too. This is a Gator application that shows ads.
* Select "Date Manager" and uninstall it too. This is a Gator application that shows ads.
* There may be more Gator applications to uninstall.

Converting to Use Login Command

Gator does not store the URL of the login page in any of its "passcards", so the GoTo, Go&Fill and Login commands for passcards converted from Gator will bring you to the front page of the web site, not to the login page. You will need to re-save these Passcards as RoboForm Passcards in order to make GoFill/Login work correctly:
* Go to the login page of a web site for which you have Gator passcard.
* Display the Passcard for this site in Passcard Editor.
* Copy URL of the login page from the IE Address Bar to URL field of the Passcard.
* Repeat the above steps for all Passcards converted from Gator.
