Roboform Free Features
There are several reasons why you should use a login/password manager application:
- Avoid stress and frustration of forgetting your login and passwords
- Keep your login information encrypted and secure
- Login to all your sites with a single click
- Save life and time by not wasting it on managing or recovering your passwords
- Consolidate all sign-ins and passwords across multiple devices
Below are the key free features for personal use. The difference between Roboform free vs. paid, is paid includes all the free elements listed below plus more, which we’ll cover!
Unlimited Logins
The app will store as many usernames and passwords for as many sites as you need. You can login to all sites with a single sign-on. It will also store logins to other applications such as iTunes. Bonus. However, the free app doesn’t let you store login information across multiple devices. Not bonus.
Form Filling
Securely store your identity information (name, address, phone number, etc.) so that you can “1-click” web forms and have them fill in automatically. You can create and store multiple “identities” to store specific profile information. This is helpful for filling out long forms. This also helps with online shopping, as you won’t have to remember or gather information to purchase!
Password Audit
You can use Roboform to check the strength of your existing passwords. If your password is too simple, it can more easily be compromised. Further, the app can generate strong passwords for you.
Send Login Info Securely
This is a useful feature for free. Have you ever sent someone a username and password over email? Roboform will help you email this information securely, instead of putting this information at risk through email.
Manage Bookmarks
This is nice little perk especially if you use multiple browsers. Lose worry that your devices went down and you lost bookmarks. In addition, this app will help you store (and organize) them.
Roboform Paid Features
Sync Devices
This is the best part of the paid version, in our opinion. This feature allows one license of Roboform to cover all your devices and platforms. That way you never have to remember any login on your phone, tablet, computer, Windows/Apple, etc.
Cloud Backup
We appreciate apps that we can actually keep on our computer, instead of have to access online. However, if our device goes, so does the data with it. With a paid version, your password, form info, etc. is backed up. That way you don’t have to worry about re-installing and re-entering all your information. Along with this, you can access your Roboform stored data from anywhere you can get on the Web.
Two Factor Authentication
This paid feature allows for more than just a username/password combination to access your sites (or other apps). With two-factor you must also prove your identity. This is typically done through your cell with a random code generated. However, Roboform can manage this extra layer of security for you as well. Turn “2 factor” back into “1 click” with all the added security benefits.
Secure Share Folder
Got family (or small business)? Securely share login information across other users. Also, grant levels of access. Tired of texting your Netflix access information to your in-law? Roboform them instead.
Emergency Access
This is a free/paid combo feature. Hopefully, it is a long, long time before you need this feature. Should something happen to you, you can designate others to get access to designated Robform data (paid version). If you have the free version, you can’t designate, but you can be the recipient. Meaning, you can get access should someone you know run into trouble. Or, if you for any reason, you need to recover your account.
Roboform Free vs. Paid: Which is right for you?
First, if you make your passwords secure and easier to access, well you really can’t go wrong. Neither can you with Roboform. They’ve been around since the beginning. Free most likely works for all intents and purposes, and has quite a bit to meet your regular everyday needs. However, the major drawback is you can only use on one device, and if that device fails, then you’ll lose your Roboform data and have to re-install and re-enter on your own device. So, be sure to have a backup of your login information.
Payed service has the benefit of cloud backup ensuring you’ll never have to worry about a lost or compromised password again. Also, you can use Roboform to track all your login information across all your devices. Therefore, if you have many passwords that need top security then the paid service is most likely your best choice.
