RoboForm is far more than a form-filling and password-managing browser add-on; this inexpensive shareware is one of the most useful browser enhancements we've encountered. RoboForm saves and enters log-in data and passwords, as well as your address, contact data, or any form fields you're always entering the hard way in Web sites and Windows programs. It also manages bookmarks, downloads, notes, and much more. RoboForm costs just under $10 with a free 30-day trial.

Pros

Everywhere or Desktop: You can install RoboForm to save data only on your main PC, or you can create an online account that lets you use RoboForm with all your computers and devices. In either case, memorize your master password, which can't be recovered.

Extras: RoboForm's extensive list of extras includes a secure Password Generator, SafeNotes, Contacts, Fingerprints, Smart Cards, and many other features and tools.

Options: RoboForm boasts a huge range of options and settings. We could Manage Identities and Profiles, edit Contacts, and Import and Sync data from RoboForm's Windows tray menu or browser settings.

Cons

Too much? RoboForm does so much and has so many features and extras that some users might find it overwhelming.

Costs money: RoboForm is inexpensive and delivers excellent value, but it's not free. Much of what it does is also available in freeware; just not in one program.

Bottom line

We're impressed by RoboForm, and so are many others, to judge by the program's reception. It significantly enhances your browser's capabilities and minimizes routine actions. The more time you spend online or at your PC, the more RoboForm can do for you.

"Awesome and reliable"

Belloftheyukon1 May 11, 2018 / Version: RoboForm 8.4.9.9

2018-05-11 11:02:42 | By Belloftheyukon1

Pros

Easy to use; great customer support

Cons

Printout for backup includes all info instead of just URL info, ID, and password

Summary

Been using for several years and love it. I really like how my previous tickets Questions) are available on one screen. I'd forgotten how to 'force' the save of a new log-in and I knew I'd asked about that before (2016) -- and the response was on the list and so immediately available for me to review rather than having to search the website or dig through my files of special notes! Very, very convenient and I really appreciate it!

"Fantastic response!"

grahamlondon April 14, 2018 / Version: RoboForm 8.4.8.8

2018-04-14 09:07:31 | By grahamlondon

Pros

I had a problem with RoboForm & Edge integration so I emailed RoboForm support & they got back to me with solution within 5 minutes, on a Saturday as well!
I have used RoboForm for about 15 years & it is definitely the best on the market.

Cons

None that I can think of!

"Wouldn't be without RoboForm"

zman56 February 23, 2018 / Version: RoboForm 8.4.7.7

2018-02-23 07:58:50 | By zman56

Pros

Ease in filling in forms;
Never have to remember passcodes;
Password generator is a plus;
Now compatible with Microsoft Edge

Cons

Can't think of any Con's to RoboForm.

Summary

I love RoboForm. Never having to remember passwords is a blessing. I also love the fact that all passwords can be exported to Flash Drive in the event of accidentally deleting a passcode or to transfer all passcodes to another computer. I highly recommend RoboForm.
In summary, if anyone is thinking of purchasing a password manager, RoboForm is the one I recommend,

"Gets worse with every update"

atlskyline December 11, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.4.3.4

2017-12-11 09:44:08 | By atlskyline

Pros

Just garbage. Look elsewhere for easy to use password software.

Cons

It gets worse with every update. There used to be a favorite column that now gone. Also with every new update(which happens once a month), you need to complete uninstall and reinstall this garbage, it doesn't do it automatically.

"The best I've found"

marika6979 November 17, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.4.3.4

2017-11-17 16:51:01 | By marika6979

Pros

feature rich.
recognizes sites and enters pw and login automatically or with one click
notes available in password editor
GREAT customer support. I researched some of the competition and even though they have good marks for interface and style and features, they all got abysmal marks for customer service.
Roboform has excellent customer service. I've always had any problems solved fairly quickly, even when all I needed was a preference change. Responses are clear and precise. The support system lets me look at my tickets forever just in case I need to revisit an issue.

Cons

I am using version 7 now. I am soooo sad that version 8 doesn't allow profiles (i use 2 profiles). I have to pay for some additional options if I want profiles in version 8. (i don't exactly understand how this would work.) I don't like it when software gets a big upgrade and important features get removed. That's not progress. So i have to stay with the older version.

Summary

The best one out there. if you don't need more than one profile, you can't find anything better. especially customer support.

"Used to be great, but not anymore"

christej675 July 10, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.3.7.7

2017-07-10 10:54:22 | By christej675

Pros

Saves log-ins and passwords and prompts log-ins
Access on multiple devices
Syncs log-ins and passwords automatically
Prompts to saves new log-ins and passwords

Cons

No longer works reliably
Does not work consistently on Android apps
Only supports major browsers
No longer matches correct matching log-ins / passwords to websites without random errors
Very time-consuming to try to sort out current non-functionality
Customer support very haphazard

Summary

Give Roboform 8.3 a miss - not worth the hassle even if free, and definitely no longer worth paying for.

"The Best PW Saver I've Ever Used"

knpete2 April 27, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.3.3.3

2017-04-27 13:24:06 | By knpete2

Pros

Unlimited password saving along with Identities, Safe Notes, Contacts, and Bookmarks! I have had very few glitches in the past 10 years of owning this program and customer service is always quick with fixes and easy to follow. Their security is top notch. It works with most of the web browsers too, whereas the other brands I've used only worked with one or two of the top named web browsers.
I couldn't be happier with this service, and now with the safe sharing capabilities, I'm overwhelmed with how conscious they are of the customers needs. This was the very thing I'd been thinking about over the last couple of years as I'm retiring. I needed to be certain that my family or a close friend could get access to my passwords if something ever happened to me. Without this access my husband would be lost trying to check on accounts for me.
GREAT JOB RoboForm!!

Cons

I have to manually enter my PW's when there is a browser update that does not yet allow this add on. It usually corrects the link a couple of weeks later, but I've gotten spoiled at only needing a couple of clicks to enter my accounts.
Also, most browsers now offer this service within the settings. They do not offer as much, and I don't trust their security like I do RoboForm. RoboForm has proven itself trustworthy time and time again.

Summary

RoboForm offers great incentives to purchase their products, or you can continue to use their Free version. It's just a well managed and well maintained software that has proven itself invaluable to my Internet world.

"Wouldn't be without it!!"

Nathaniel March 24, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.3.0

2017-03-24 23:40:04 | By Nathaniel

Pros

Fast, Unobtrusive, Unlike some Pie In The Sky hyped programs, this one actually does what it says and then some.

Cons

Their support consists, only, of having to login to a "fill in your issue/complaint" screen and then wait for a response. No live help. to wit:
--
Their tech support , is not exactly to my liking.. but they do get back to you, but because you post something and have to wait for them to receive it, understand it from their point of view, then post back to you... the issue isn't always resolved "the first time around."

Summary

It's fast, reliable and indispensable to me. Their tech support (see in cons) can be cumbersome and not timely. However... the program pretty much makes up for their TS and it does what it purports to do and it does it quite well.

5 stars

"Great security software"

Dollerds March 18, 2017 / Version: RoboForm 8.3.0

2017-03-18 09:57:18 | By Dollerds

Pros

I am a long time user of Roboform, and will continue to use it. When I have a problem with the program , I can always rely on the Roboform team to straighten it out for me. They take charge of my problem and straighten it out. It allows me to use large complex passwords and have the password remembered , and ready to use the next time I want to log into that site. I can also have Roboform make a password for me. Roboform will remember form information , so the next time I have that form to fill in, its a simple matter.

Cons

Can not think of any
