RoboForm Review and Pricing in 2025

RoboForm Plans and Pricing

Why don’t we start with how much RoboForm costs? Here’s a breakdown of every plan.

RoboForm’s free plan is on par with NordPass’s free option. You can store an unlimited number of passwords and access the service on one app at a time. That means every time you switch to another device, you’ll need to sign in with your master password. However, NordPass gives you access to the web portal, which makes it easy to manage your credentials. RoboForm’s free tier doesn’t offer the same courtesy. You’ll need to rely on apps or the tiny browser extension pop-up panel.

Instead of signing in and out of your RoboForm account, we recommend paying for a premium subscription. At $1.66 per month, RoboForm is one of the most affordable password managers around. NordPass works out to be $1.69 per month — although NordPass plans currently include three free months. Aura subscriptions start from $1.99 per month, but you’re restricted to using three devices at a time; there’s no limit with RoboForm. However, Aura also includes antivirus protection and a VPN with its premium plans.

RoboForm also has a family plan, which is something that Aura and Total Password don’t have. You can add up to five people for just $2.66 per month, which is a great deal. This is identical to 1Password’s family plan, but 1Password will cost you $4.99 per month. Meanwhile, NordPass allows six people, and Dashlane lets you add up to 10 users.

Is RoboForm Safe to Use?

We always do a deep dive into a password manager’s security features before we hand over anything. The good news is that RoboForm uses AES-256 encryption to keep your credentials safe. This is the same data encryption the military uses to protect highly sensitive documents. Some of the best VPNs also use AES-256 to encrypt VPN tunnels.

RoboForm also decrypts all your passwords on your device instead of on its servers. Another way of explaining this is that they practice zero-knowledge architecture. This means RoboForm’s staff has no way of knowing your master password or accessing the data in your vault — even if it’s stored in its servers.

We learned about RoboForm’s security features on its website. While we’d love to take the company’s word for it, sometimes it’s a good idea to get a second opinion. Fortunately, RoboForm publishes audits from third-party experts on its website. The last report was in 2023 by Secfault Security. It mentioned that all medium- and high-severity issues raised were remediated. The report also stated that RoboForm meets a reasonable standard of security. That’s good enough for us.

Getting Started

Once we knew RoboForm was safe for us, it was time to sign up for an account. We opted to pay for the premium plan, and we’re glad we did. It gave us instant access to the web portal.

The web portal is only available to paid subscribers. You can also use it during the 30-day free trial, which is good because it makes it much easier to upload your credentials. We exported our login details from our browser into a .csv file and uploaded them into the web portal. RoboForm had no trouble reading the contents of the file. We don’t take this type of thing for granted; it took multiple attempts to get LastPass to read the same .csv file.

Next, RoboForm took us to our vault. Instead of displaying a list of websites we’d accessed, RoboForm displayed each login as a tile, complete with the company logo. We know it’s superficial, but it was more pleasing to the eye than some of the other password managers we tested. You can change the view to suit your preference if you prefer lists or smaller tiles.

The other visual we noticed was the red exclamation points that popped up on some of the tiles. It turns out these passwords were found on a list of breached credentials. We’ll explain what that means in the next section.

Exploring the Features

RoboForm’s primary function is to store and securely log you in to websites. When you arrive on a login page, a little RoboForm icon will appear next to the username field. Clicking on it gives RoboForm permission to automatically log you in to the page using the details from the vault.

If you’re signing up for an account on a new website, RoboForm will offer to generate a secure password. This gesture will save you from reusing an old one or thinking of something original. There’s even an option to use a passphrase instead of a random bunch of characters. Once you’re happy with the password, RoboForm will automatically save it to your vault.

In addition to storing and securely logging you in to websites, RoboForm has some other features worth using — especially if you’re a paying customer.

Password Monitoring

Remember when we mentioned the red exclamation points that popped like the measles? RoboForm took the initiative to scan our passwords against haveibeenpwned.com. It’s the same website 1Password uses to check if your login details have been exposed in a data breach.

The only difference is that RoboForm relies on the Pwned Passwords service from haveibeenpwned.com. This service only checks passwords that have been leaked. It does not mean your personal credentials have been released — it just means continuing to use the passwords is risky since they’ve been exposed. However, if you don’t change them, your score in the Security Center will be impacted.

Security Center

The Security Center assesses your password security. It categorizes the passwords that need your attention into compromised, weak, and reused. There is an option to exclude passwords from your security score. But we don’t see the point in doing this because it’s been tagged for a reason.

Clicking on the listing gives you more details, such as the website and account details. There’s a button that takes you directly to the sign-in page so you can take action. However, we found some of the links were duplicated or old. For example, RoboForm said we needed to update two Amazon records. But, in reality, it was just one. One of the logins had an uppercase character, and the other had the same character lowercase. We ended up deleting one of the records.

Sharing Center

The safest way to share files, documents, or data is with RoboForm’s Sharing Center. You can create a folder and share access with up to five people. It also lets you assign permissions such as log in only, read and write, and full control.

The only catch is that the other people must have a RoboForm account to access the folder. We didn’t run into this issue when we tested 1Password. It lets you securely share files with anyone, regardless of whether they’re a 1Password customer.

Emergency Access

If you plan on using RoboForm to save important documents and data, consider giving emergency access to someone in case you’re ever incapacitated. You can even use this feature to share your master password in case you forget it. The good news is that RoboForm makes it easy to set up. It has an Emergency Access page where you can add contacts.

But like the secure sharing feature, you can only add RoboForm customers. However, your contacts can sign up for a free account to get around this limitation. Keep in mind that the request to give access to your friends or family members has an expiration date, which is customizable. We left it at the default time limit of two days, but we could have made it as long as 30 days. The latter is handy for those friends or family members who take forever to respond to anything.

Using RoboForm Day to Day

We mainly used the Chrome browser extension to test RoboForm’s functionality. But we also downloaded the MacBook Pro and Android smartphone apps. Surprisingly, the experience was different across all three platforms.

Browser Experience

The RoboForm browser experience was by far the best. The extension window, while tiny, allows you to navigate through all of RoboForm’s features easily. We could generate new passwords and see which compromised details still needed to be updated.

Just remember, some features rely on the web portal, which is only available for paying customers. When we clicked on the Security Center and Sharing Center options, it opened up a new tab in our browser to view the contents.

But, to be fair, we didn’t interact a lot with the extension window after the initial setup and fixing some of our passwords. RoboForm ran silently in the background and only popped up when we logged in to websites. A notification popped up when it found a new compromised password, but other than that, it was an nonintrusive experience.

Desktop Experience

The desktop experience was also nonintrusive. In fact, we barely even realized it was on our laptop. Like most Mac password managers, RoboForm doesn’t autofill login details for apps on your desktop. For example, nothing popped up to help us log in to our Spotify app. Luckily, we remembered our password for this account.

RoboForm only saves login details for websites. Because we have the browser extension, we never relied on the desktop app to sign us in to anything. The other confusing thing is the desktop app can’t save new accounts. You can only do this through the web extensions and smartphone apps.

We also noticed a few features were missing. The most prominent was the Sharing Center. But even the Security Center was limited. It didn’t show compromised passwords, and clicking on an account record didn’t reveal any details.

All in all, we’d recommend saving your hard drive space and not bothering to install the RoboForm desktop app.

Mobile Experience

RoboForm’s smartphone app fared better than the desktop app. The first thing we did was set up biometrics so we didn’t have to enter our master password every time we opened it.

Unlike the desktop app, all of RoboForm’s features were present and accounted for. Any compromised passwords were tagged with the patented red exclamation point. Also, we could add new records courtesy of the big blue plus button at the bottom right-hand corner.

In addition to signing in to websites, RoboForm can also log in to apps on your phone if they require a username and password. Once again, we tested RoboForm on the Spotify app. Our keyboard displayed the RoboForm logo, and clicking on it allowed RoboForm to sign in for us. The whole process took a few seconds.

Verdict: Is RoboForm a Good Password Manager?

RoboForm is one of the more visually appealing password managers we’ve tested. But it’s not just good-looking. There are a lot of great features that can improve your online security, such as the Security Center and alerts for exposed passwords. We also like how easy it was to sign in to websites and apps on the mobile app.

But we were less impressed with the RoboForm desktop app. It didn’t bring anything to the table. The app is also missing features available in the web portal and smartphone app. Plus, it doesn’t display compromised passwords or let you add new accounts manually. We’re also not a fan of the free plan restricting access to the web portal. Also disappointing is that you can only share folders and assign emergency contacts with other RoboForm customers.

RoboForm might not top our list of the best password managers. But, it has a lifetime free plan and affordable premium options for you and your family. Most importantly, you can trust it to keep your passwords secure.
