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 Americans ask about RoboForm
Most-searched questions, per Sistrix
What is RoboForm used for?
RoboForm is a password manager best known for its form-filling. It stores your logins and personal details — names, addresses, payment cards — in an encrypted, zero-knowledge vault, then fills both passwords and long, multi-field web forms with a single click, which is where it outshines most rivals. On top of that it generates strong, unique passwords, saves secure notes, and syncs everything across your devices and browsers. People choose RoboForm when they fill a lot of online forms or checkout pages and want that process automated, all wrapped in one of the cheapest premium managers around.
Has RoboForm ever been breached?
RoboForm has not had a breach of user vaults. It uses AES-256, zero-knowledge encryption, so your data is encrypted locally with a key derived from your master password. That means even RoboForm can't read your passwords, and a server incident wouldn't expose them in readable form.
Is RoboForm free anymore?
Yes, RoboForm still has a free plan. It covers unlimited logins on a single device, along with the password generator and RoboForm's signature form-filling. What it leaves out is cross-device sync, secure sharing and cloud backup — those require the paid Premium plan, which starts at around US$0.99/mo and is one of the cheapest in the category. So if you only use one device, the free tier is genuinely usable; if you want your vault on your phone and computer, you'll want Premium.
What are the disadvantages of RoboForm?
RoboForm's biggest drawback is its dated interface, which looks and feels older than newer rivals like NordPass or 1Password. The free plan is also limited to a single device with no sync, and the software isn't open-source, so you can't inspect the code the way you can with Bitwarden or Proton Pass. Pricing is a mixed bag too: the headline rate of about US$0.99/mo is an introductory deal that renews closer to US$2.49/mo. Even so, it remains one of the cheapest premium managers, and its one-click form-filling is genuinely best-in-class — the main reason people stick with it.
Can RoboForm be trusted?
Yes. RoboForm has been around since 1999, uses AES-256, zero-knowledge encryption with two-factor authentication, and has a clean security record with no breach of user vaults. It's a long-established, reputable option, particularly valued for its best-in-class form-filling and consistently low pricing.
How do I add the RoboForm extension to Chrome?
Open the Chrome Web Store, search for RoboForm, and click Add to Chrome. Once it's installed, click the toolbar icon to sign in to your existing RoboForm account or create a new one. From then on it will save and autofill your logins and web forms automatically as you browse. You can pin the icon to your toolbar so it's always one click away.
