- The era of writing down all your passwords
on a little note
and then trying not to forget where you put that note
is finally over
because with a password manager,
well it's easy to store your password safely
but you still have to use a reputable,
reliable password manager, right?
So is Roboform good at this?
Well, let's start this Roboform review and find out.
Okay, jumping right in.
Roboform servers do come encrypted
with AES-256 bit ciphers
and all the data is encrypted and decrypted locally.
So it's definitely a secure password manager
at least as far as the industry goes.
Now, some additional security features
include two-factor authentication,
that helps make your accounts even tougher to crack.
And what's amazing, especially for beginners,
is the security center,
which helps you keep track of your passwords strengths
and where they're being reused.
It's really helpful in cleaning up all of your old
and weak passwords and does it all in one place.
Oh, and on top of all that Roboform has a great reputation
and has even been on the market for a long time.
So yeah, we can definitely confidently say that it is safe.
All right, now continuing down this Roboform
Password Manager Review rabbit hole,
and well, it wouldn't be a contender
for the best password manager title
without being easy to use.
And yes, it is, even for beginners.
Luckily for us,
the Roboform Password Manager is smooth sailing
on basically every device.
The desktop app is very simplistic
but you don't need to search for various tools.
Everything is nicely placed on one menu.
Kind of reminds me of Windows File Explorer
or the settings page, right?
But whether that's a good thing for you
is well gonna be a personal choice, isn't it?
And if you're more like me
and don't like installing an app
for every single different tool,
well then Roboform's web browser extension
might be what you're looking for.
It's probably the sleekest of the Roboform versions
and allows you to easily manage your password
and fill an info when needed.
But there's a little small pet peeve of mine here.
Roboform redirects you to their web application
for a few things like creating new entries,
you know, instead of just allowing you to do it
in the extension itself.
It's a little tedious for sure,
but I guess nothing that major.
Now, I would say that the Extension Plus web application
is probably the best way to utilize Roboform
if you need to choose only one way.
Now Roboform, iOS and Android versions are even better IMHO.
They simplify the interface and make it easy to set up
or manage all of your passwords in one place.
However, while it's easy to use,
mobile app struggle a little bit to fill in some passwords,
and it can take some time to get it working.
Roboform Autofill works a lot better on desktops,
at least for now.
Oh, and also there's this four digit security code
that Roboform Mobile comes with
and you can turn on those extra security features
once the initial Roboform setup is done.
Now, real quick before we move on
it's time for the obligatory like and subscribe to our video
because on our YouTube channel
well, we're making lots of reviews, tutorials
and comparisons and new subscribers help us
to keep up our hopefully good work.
So thanks for hearing us out.
Now let's go ahead
and look at exactly what features come with Roboform.
So once you set up Roboform,
you might notice
that some of the more interesting features are missing
like Dashlane's VPN.
Now, don't get me wrong, those features are super cool
but some users might prefer a more strip back approach.
Yeah, sometimes it is best to keep things simple
and Roboform is great at managing your passwords
to put it well, simply.
Roboform does come with emergency access,
dark web monitoring, a way to send notes securely
and even application logins,
everything you need for a flawless experience.
Oh, and I really like this Roboform password generator.
It's simple, but very intuitive to use
and allows me to specify the length of the passcode
as well as which similar characters to exclude.
All of that and being able to manage my bookmarks
and securely share passwords are all great additions
that I end up using basically every day.
So despite lacking some extra features,
it's got everything you're gonna need
for good password management
and a simple approach makes it more accessible
even for you complete beginners out there.
And lastly, for this Roboform review,
well, let's talk about
how much you think you're gonna have to spend
to get all of these premium features.
Okay, for a single user protection on all devices
check out Roboform everywhere
which currently costs you just under 24 bucks a year.
But just know there's no way to pay for Roboform
on a month to month basis.
All right, so if we compare this price
to some of the bigger players out there in the market,
a year with NordPass is gonna cost you around $30
and a year with Keeper is gonna go for around $35.
So Roboform is quite affordable,
but yeah, it is lacking some of those shiny extra features.
So looks like it's gonna be up to you
whether you just need a good and simple,
straightforward password manager
or a password manager
plus some of those more advanced quality of life features
and additions.
The great thing here is that Roboform's free version
is actually quite good
and it doesn't even limit
the number of passwords you can store.
The Roboform free version includes password auditing,
securely sending logins
and receiving emergency access, among some other features.
So it's really a perfect way
to test run this password manager.
But this version is really only good for basic users
since it lacks synchronization between all your devices.
And while we're still talking about the pricing, well,
I'm just gonna let you know that I'll leave the best
most up to date deals for Roboform in the description below.
If you decide to go with Roboform,
use them to save some money
while getting one of the best password managers.
Now, there is a reason why Roboform is on our top list.
While not having flashy extra features,
it handles password management tasks extremely well.
It has tight security,
encrypting and decrypting files locally,
and it's easy to manage your data
even if you're a complete beginner.
Roboform has a free trial, so hey,
go and give that one a shot.
I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it.
All right, now that you've heard the Roboform pros and cons,
do you think it has what it takes
to be your number one password manager?
