Roboform Password Manager

[Randell Magtoto]

Ive been using Roboform for years but now I'm looking at using Bitdefender Password Manager to manage my passwords. I've loaded the Chrome browser plugin and followed the instructions about importing but to no avail. I have a exported file from Roboform in .csv format.

Currently, Roboform is not supported. However, the good news is that our developers are working on a task to add Roboform as an option from where the user can import passwords. We don't have an ETA on this, as the development has started recently, but it's work in progress ?

Reply from Mihai E. time stamped March 10th 10.56am referring to ticket 1007247819, clearly says that data from Roboform can be imported as a Roboform exported CSV file by following this link

I am deeply sorry for the misunderstanding, it appears that the agent was either misinformed or not fully aware of the compatibility. Roboform is not yet supported, but as a workaround, you may try to import the passwords into a supported browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and then import into Password Manager.

I looked at the "template" offered to morf my Roboform CSV into what Bitdefender Password Manager and I don't have the time to try that (expecially since a few of the columns aren't shown with items that match any in Roboform).

It has now been over a 18 months since you said; "However, the good news is that our developers are working on a task to add Roboform as an option from where the user can import passwords" and still the option is not available. What on earth are your developers doing with themselves. This is shocking service and unless this is likely to happen soon I shall be closing my account.

@Alexandru_BD @CrazyDazy is right, it's been a while and I do not see Roboform added to the Import Passwords article. Do we have any eta on the Roboform import ability without having to do any CSV file manipulation?

I probably should have checked on my end, I went for the article information first, as ADHD Scott has been using a different password manager recently. We'll see where I'm at in another two months..lol :)

The app itself, in our experience, lacks the intuitiveness of some other offerings on the market but is more of a personal preference based on the numerous password managers tested. However, we did find ourselves digging around for options and trying to figure out how to best navigate the app. With time, the usage does get easier as you figure out where things that you use all the time are located.

We tested the RoboForm app on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and were impressed by the speed of syncing. Although we had to conduct a manual sync, it took less than three seconds for data uploaded on the mobile app to appear on our desktop device. You can also enable automatic syncing.

Another strength of RoboForm is the high degree of account control. Users can make loads of customizations to security protocols and account settings when using the desktop or mobile apps. These advanced controls are one of the reasons RoboForm is one of our favorite password management solutions for businesses.

Companies that constantly evolve their offering are usually the ones that tend to be near and dear to users' hearts. RoboForm takes this seriously with another recent addition, where the app now supports passkeys, allowing users to store, autofill, and securely share passkeys in RoboForm. Passwordless logins have become increasingly popular, though the initial pick-up was slower than expected. With competitors also having the passkey option available, it is nice to see that RoboForm listens to the users and the market while adding new features to strengthen its offering.

RoboForm also provides advanced administrator controls, such as enforced minimum master password standards and periodic password changes. As an admin, you can show the full password change history for each login through the web editor.

Businesses can also make use of public-private key cryptography, which allows business administrators to share encrypted passwords and credentials with employees without them ever having to see the actual password. This feature alone makes RoboForm one of the best password management solutions for businesses

There is free support available to all via the Help Center and Manual. Here, topics get organized into categories such as Security, Web Access, and Emergency Access, and each has a list of articles to guide users through the issue.

RoboForm provides superior customer support for its subscribers and business customers. IT administrators or employees can contact the RoboForm team either via their online support system or by phone during business hours, 9AM to 5 PM EST. There are also several online learning and training resources available.

On the security front, you can rest assured that 256-bit AES encryption, 2FA, and vaults will keep your data secure and away from the eyes of prying hackers. RoboForm has recently undergone a comprehensive security audit and penetration test by a third party and passed with flying colors. Moreover, there have not been any breaches or other incriminating issues surrounding the company which is an excellent sign for firms safeguarding your most sensitive data.

Customer support is more than adequate, with the company constantly working on the app and adding new features (support for passkeys, improved TOTP authenticator, tweaked password change history, etc.), and regularly updating the user base through their blog and FAQs. Finally, it is by no means the best option on the market, but does punch above its weight class and gives the premium offerings a run for their money.

I am curious why Roboform is getting short shrift by password manager reviewers. I have been using Roboform since its inception. It checks all the boxes for a great password manager. To my knowledge, it has never been compromised.

I have been using Roboform myself for 20 years now! Instead of buying annually, I find the 5 Year plan works best for me. I look for the sale price. The last purchase I made was 5 Months before my expiration date and cost me $60 for 5 Years. Well worth it in my opinion.

I think the main issue is that RoboForm is not open source. Way back 8+ years there was an issue with the PRNG generation (now fixed apparently) that caused the same passwords to be regenerated if you knew date/time/parameters.

RoboForm is a secure password manager that provides no-frills protection to your passwords and other sensitive data. It utilizes top-tier encryption and offers a free version and inexpensive premium plans.

Yes, RoboForm is a safe password manager to use in 2024. It utilizes the gold standard AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 SHA256 to safeguard user data. AES 256 is widely recognized as the best encryption algorithm in the security industry.

RoboForm has its own password health dashboard called Security Center that gives you important data on the health of all your credentials. It marks which passwords are weak, reused or compromised, and gives your vault an overall grade in terms of security.

Users who want an encrypted note-taking app will be happy to find out that RoboForm comes with a dedicated notes section called Safenotes. Safenotes acts like your ordinary note-taking app, with the added benefit of being stored in a secure and encrypted vault.

For multi factor authentication (MFA), RoboForm supports email and SMS authentication. It also has TOTP-based MFA or authenticator apps. This is perhaps the minimum number of MFA options I expect from modern password managers.

In terms of security options, RoboForm comes with a few settings. It has an auto-logout toggle that logs you out of your current session after a set period of inactivity. You can also set it to warn you every time any credit card or bank account data is filled, serving as an additional confirmation to be safe.

Performance-wise, RoboForm was also good, as it was able to save new account details without a hitch. I also had no problem importing my test passwords to my main vault. In terms of autofill, RoboForm worked well. It was able to detect what website corresponded to a particular account and fill in the right details.

For users looking for an offline password manager, check out Enpass. Enpass is an offline solution that lets users choose where their encrypted passwords are stored. You can store them locally or use a third-party cloud storage service like Google Drive or iCloud instead. This is a good option for people who are worried about data breaches and want to take their data storage into their own hands.

My review of RoboForm Password Manager involved a detailed analysis of its security features and real-world performance. I used RoboForm on my personal Windows laptop and Android mobile device via their 30-day free trial of their premium plan.

External password managers, such as RoboForm are not working whatsoever. This is an issue that I know tons of us would appreciate if it were fixed. This has been a problem ever since I have used Orion. When you click the icon, nothing loads.

When you click the extension button, a list of logins should appear. Additionally, upon entering new logins or updating old ones, the extension should offer to save the new credentials. Lastly, when hovering over or near username/email and/or password fields, a list of applicable credentials should be popping up for the user to select from.

shortHairRASTA 1Password/Bitwarden/Strongbox as well as native Orion password manager work. There is a long tail of password managers that we would nee to look at one by one and this is time consuming.

So I'd at least like to take answers to the above back to them, and if anyone else want to chime in thats fine - I'll read. I'd just assume not hear the (B is better because A didn't work for me but B did). Responses like that rarely come from competent users, and taking advice from incompetent users is foolish.
