ANALYSIS
Our experience with RoboForm
Form filling and ease of use
Its signature strength: best-in-class web form filling that started as a form-filling utility back in 1999 and still completes long checkout and registration forms in one click. The trade-off is an interface that feels dated next to newer rivals.
Security and privacy
AES-256 encryption with a zero-knowledge architecture, so only you can decrypt your vault, plus two-factor authentication. It is not open source, though, and the company is based in the USA.
Devices and platforms
Apps and browser extensions for all major platforms, with unlimited devices and sync on the paid plans. The free plan is limited to a single device.
Price and plans
One of the cheapest premium password managers around, with a Family plan that covers several accounts. A solid pick if you want strong value without a big-name price tag.

FAQ
The most common questions Britons ask about RoboForm
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
Has RoboForm ever been breached?
No — in more than 25 years, RoboForm has no known breach of user data or vaults, one of the longest clean records in the industry. Its zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption means the servers never hold your passwords in readable form, so there's nothing usable to steal.
What is RoboForm used for?
RoboForm manages your passwords, but its historic speciality is filling long, complicated web forms — names, addresses, payment cards and multi-page applications — in a single click, which it still does better than anything else in this comparison. Alongside that it generates strong passwords, stores secure notes, and syncs everything across your devices on the paid plans. It's the veteran choice for anyone whose day involves repeatedly completing the same tedious online forms.
How do I log into RoboForm?
Open the RoboForm app or browser extension and sign in with your email and master password, plus your two-factor code if you've enabled it. The master password is the one credential RoboForm never stores, so if you lose it the recovery options are deliberately limited. Subscription and account management live at roboform.com.
Which is better, 1Password or RoboForm?
1Password is the stronger all-rounder: a more advanced security model with its device-bound Secret Key, fresher apps, and better family features. RoboForm wins one clear crown — filling complex, multi-page forms, where nothing here beats it — and it's the cheaper option, starting at US$0.99/mo, though be aware that price renews higher at US$2.49/mo. So pick by your workload: for an everyday manager with the most polished experience, choose 1Password; if your days are dominated by long online forms, RoboForm's speciality is worth the trade-offs.
What are the disadvantages of RoboForm?
The interface looks dated next to 1Password or NordPass, the free tier is limited to a single device, and there are no bundled extras like a VPN or dark-web monitoring. On price, the low headline rate is an introductory one — it starts at US$0.99/mo and renews higher at US$2.49/mo — so factor in the second-year cost. None of this dents its core competence: RoboForm is a veteran specialist, superb at forms and dependable at passwords, but nobody's idea of modern polish.
Can I use RoboForm on multiple devices?
Yes, on the paid plans. RoboForm Premium syncs an unlimited number of devices — Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and all the major browsers — keeping your vault identical everywhere. The limitation is the free tier, which covers just one device with no sync, and that single-device cap is the main reason most people upgrade to Premium.
