Overview
RoboForm is made by Siber Systems, whose footer address is in Fairfax, Virginia. Its site describes a zero-knowledge architecture in which encryption and decryption happen on your device, says your master password is never sent to its servers, and names AES-256 encryption with PBKDF2 SHA-256. It also runs a bug bounty program.
The free plan includes unlimited passwords on a single device, a password generator, compromised-password scanning and a built-in authenticator. Premium adds access on all devices and web access, Family includes five Premium accounts, and Business adds separate work and personal vaults, an admin center, SSO and SCIM provisioning.
RoboForm offers apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android and extensions for major browsers, and can also log into Windows applications. Passkeys can be used for its Passwordless Unlock and for two-factor sign-in. Check the current plan details on RoboForm's site.
