Most importantly, the interface has been thoroughly reskinned, making for a much more pleasant user experience, although it still feels clumsy to use in places.

The latest version 8 of the RoboForm Editor desktop application includes newly added features such as the ability to securely share logins via email, a password strength assessment tool and faster syncing times thanks to a new file structure. However, to use RoboForm’s more advanced features, you’ll need the RoboForm Editor desktop app, which is available for Windows and macOS, but not Linux – browser plugins work under Linux, however. They’ll also generate passwords to your required criteria on demand, auto-fill forms, save bookmarks, let you manually add login details and can create a custom browser start page to give you easy access to your favourite sites. They can automatically log you into sites and save both new and updated passwords. The RoboForm browser plugins let you search for, browse and launch sites whose credentials you’ve stored.

#ROBOFORM EVERYWHERE PORTABLE#
It’s worth bearing in mind that the RoboForm2Go portable version isn’t being updated to the software’s current version 8, however, and only works on Windows PCs with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Perpetual, single-device licences are also available, at $29.95 (around £23) for an individual desktop PC or $39.95 (around £30) for a USB stick with a portable RoboForm installation on it. RoboForm Everywhere supports basic two-factor authentication, in which an one-time password is emailed to you whenever you add a new device.
#ROBOFORM EVERYWHERE SOFTWARE#
The paid-for RoboForm Everywhere, available on an annual subscription of $19.95 (around £15), lets you run the software on as many devices as you like.
#ROBOFORM EVERYWHERE UPGRADE#
The free version of RoboForm, as of the service’s latest version 8, works on a single mobile or desktop device, but you’ll have to upgrade to the paid version if you want your passwords to be synced across your devices.

Although it’s a capable tool, the styling and behaviour of both desktop app and browser plugin look a little dated, although this has been improved in version 8, which recently came out of beta. Although it still stores your passwords online, it’s strongly focused around its desktop app. RoboForm is a browser, desktop and mobile password manager and automatic form-filling tool.
