RoboForm Tutorial
This complete RoboForm tutorial walks you through every feature step by step, from initial setup to advanced tips that will make you a power user.

Getting Started with RoboForm
Before using any feature, complete this one-time setup.
It takes about 3 minutes.
To start using RoboForm, first create an account and install the extension or app on your device.
Now let’s walk through each step.
Step 1: Create Your RoboForm Account
Go to the RoboForm download page at roboform.com.
Click “Get RoboForm Free” to begin.
Enter your email and create a secure master password.
Make sure you never forget your master password — RoboForm cannot recover it for you.
✓ Checkpoint: Sprawdź swoje skrzynka odbiorcza for a confirmation email.
Step 2: Add RoboForm Password Manager Extension to Your Browser
After creating your RoboForm account, add the RoboForm password manager Chrome extension.
You can also install it on Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Opera.
Open the RoboForm app or the RoboForm browser extension and sign in.
Here’s what the RoboForm start page looks like:
✓ Checkpoint: You should see the main dashboard showing RoboForm password manager extension working in your browser.
Step 3: Import Your Existing Passwords
Users can import existing passwords from other managers or browsers into RoboForm using a CSV file.
Click the dots in the upper right corner of the RoboForm editor to find the import option.
Select your previous password manager and upload the CSV file.
You can also visit frequently used websites and RoboForm will automatically save your login credentials through the RoboForm autosave dialogue.
Enable cloud sync to keep your RoboForm data updated across all urządzenia.
✅ Done: You’re ready to use any feature below. Your RoboForm account is set up and your passwords are imported.
How to Use RoboForm Security Center
Bezpieczeństwo Center lets you find weak, reused, and compromised passwords in your vault.
RoboForm’s Security Center identifies weak, reused, and compromised passwords so you can fix them fast.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Security Center in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Open Security Center
Open the RoboForm app and click the “Security Center” tab in the RoboForm editor.
You can also access it from the settings menu inside the extension.
RoboForm will automatically scan every saved login in your vault.
The scan checks each password against known breach databases and strength criteria.
Step 2: Review Your Security Score
RoboForm scans every saved login and gives you an overall security score.
It flags passwords that are weak, duplicated, or found in data breaches.
Each login shows a color-coded rating — green for strong, yellow for fair, red for weak.
To effectively use RoboForm’s features, users should regularly check the Security Center for compromised passwords and update weak ones.
The dashboard also shows how many passwords are reused across multiple sites.
✓ Checkpoint: You should see a percentage score and a list of flagged logins.
Step 3: Fix Flagged Passwords
Click any flagged login to visit that site and change the password.
Use the RoboForm password generator to create a strong replacement.
RoboForm will automatically prompt you to save your new password through the autosave dialog.
Work through each flagged entry until your score hits 90% or higher.
✅ Result: Your security score improves as you replace weak and reused passwords with strong, unique ones.
💡 Wskazówka: Check your Security Center at least once a month. No matter what the password strength is, changing it regularly keeps your accounts safer. RoboForm will also alert you about newly compromised passwords from data breaches.
How to Use RoboForm Password Generator
Generator haseł lets you create strong, random passwords with customizable parameters.
The RoboForm Password Generator allows users to generate random and secure passwords without guessing.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Password Generator in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Open the Password Generator
Click the RoboForm extension icon in your browser toolbar.
Select “Generate Password” from the menu that appears.
A window will appear with your new password options.
Step 2: Customize Password Settings
Set the password length — 16 characters or more is recommended.
Choose whether to include uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
You can also switch between the random password generator and the random passphrase generator.
Passphrases use random words separated by dashes, making them easier to type on mobile.
The generator can produce passwords up to 512 characters for maximum security.
✓ Checkpoint: You should see a generated password with your chosen settings displayed.
Step 3: Copy and Use the Password
Click the copy button in the bottom of the generator window to copy the password.
Paste it into the sign-up page or password change field on the web page.
RoboForm will automatically prompt you to save your new password via the RoboForm autosave feature.
✅ Result: You now have a strong, unique password that is nearly impossible to crack.
💡 Wskazówka: Use the passphrase generator when you need a password you can actually type manually — like for a Wi-Fi network. Passphrases are easier to remember but still very strong.
How to Use RoboForm Password Sharing
Udostępnianie hasła lets you securely send login credentials to another RoboForm user.
RoboForm allows you to share data with others using public-private key encryption.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Password Sharing in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Select the Login to Share
Open the RoboForm app and go to the fill logins tab.
Find the login you want to share and right-click it.
Select “Sharing” from the context menu.
RoboForm allows you to share individual logins or create a shared folder for multiple items.
Step 2: Add the Recipient
Enter the email address of another RoboForm user you want to share with.
Choose the permission level — read-only or full access.
Read-only means they can use the login but cannot view or copy the actual password.
Full access allows you to share the complete login details including the ability to edit.
You can also create a shared folder for ongoing access between family or team members.
Users can securely share login details and notes with trusted contacts through RoboForm’s secure sharing feature.
RoboForm employs public-private key encryption to protect shared data during transfer.
✓ Checkpoint: The recipient should receive a sharing notification in their RoboForm account.
Step 3: Manage Shared Items
Go to the “Sharing” tab in the RoboForm editor to view all shared items.
You can revoke access at any time by removing the recipient.
RoboForm employs public-private key encryption for secure sharing of data.
✅ Result: Your login credentials are now securely shared without ever exposing the actual password in plain text.
💡 Wskazówka: Use shared folders for items like secret family recipes, software activation codes, or streaming service passwords that multiple people need ongoing access to.
How to Use RoboForm Authenticator
Uwierzytelniacz lets you use RoboForm as a two-factor authenticator for other sites and apps.
RoboForm includes a built-in time-based one-time password (TOTP) authenticator for 2FA two factor authentication.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Authenticator in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Enable 2FA on the Target Website
Go to the security settings of the website where you want to enable two-factor authentication.
Select the option to enable two factor authentication and choose “Authenticator App.”
The site will display a QR code or a two factor authentication key on your screen.
Step 2: Scan the QR Code with RoboForm
Open the RoboForm app on your device.
Navigate to the login entry for that site and edit it.
Click “Add TOTP” and scan a QR code displayed on the web page.
You can also manually enter the two factor authentication key if scanning doesn’t work.
✓ Checkpoint: RoboForm should now show a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds.
Step 3: Verify and Save
Enter the 6-digit code on the website’s verification field.
Click the save button to confirm the authentication for this login.
From now on, RoboForm will automatically fill the 2FA code when you log in.
✅ Result: You’ve added an extra layer of security without needing a separate authenticator app. RoboForm offers a feature to use it as a two-factor authenticator for other sites.
💡 Wskazówka: RoboForm’s built-in authenticator means you don’t need Google Authenticator or Authy anymore. Keep all your TOTP codes inside RoboForm for faster logins on the sign in page.
How to Use RoboForm Passkeys
Passkeys lets you set up passwordless logins that work across all your devices.
RoboForm supports passkey creation, storage, and autofill for passwordless logins across devices.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Passkeys in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Visit a Passkey-Supported Website
Go to a website that supports passkey authentication — like Google, Microsoft, or GitHub.
Navigate to the security settings and select “Create a Passkey.”
More websites are adding passkey support every month.
Passkeys are considered more secure than traditional passwords because they cannot be phished.
Step 2: Save the Passkey in RoboForm
RoboForm will automatically detect the passkey creation process.
A prompt from the RoboForm extension will ask if you want to store the passkey.
Click “Save” and the passkey is stored securely in your vault.
✓ Checkpoint: You should see the passkey listed under the login entry for that site.
Step 3: Use Your Passkey to Log In
Visit the sign in page of the website and choose “Sign in with Passkey.”
The RoboForm autofill icon will appear — click it to authenticate.
You’re logged in natychmiast without typing any password.
✅ Result: You now have a passwordless login that is faster and more secure than traditional credentials.
💡 Wskazówka: Passkeys are phishing-resistant because they’re tied to the specific website. Even if someone tricks you into visiting a fake web page, the passkey won’t work on the wrong domain.
How to Use RoboForm Form Filler
Form Filler lets you automatically fill web forms with your personal information in seconds.
For efficient form filling, users can create identities in RoboForm which can autofill complex forms across multiple pages.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Form Filler in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Create a New Identity
Open the RoboForm app and go to the “Identities” section.
Click “Create New Identity” to start building your identity profile.
Enter your personal details for the identity — name, address, credit card bank account info, and more.
RoboForm allows you to rename each identity so you can tell them apart easily.
Step 2: Add Complete Information for the Identity
Fill in every field you commonly use: address, phone, email, and payment details.
The more information for the identity you add, the more fields RoboForm can fill forms with.
You can store address credit card bank account details and other personal data all in one place.
RoboForm organizes details for the identity into categories like “Personal,” “Address,” and “Credit Card.” Each category menu can be found by clicking the tabs inside the identity editor.
You can create multiple identities — one for work purchases and one for personal shopping.
✓ Checkpoint: Your identity should show all fields filled with your personal data.
Step 3: Fill Forms on Any Web Page
Visit any web page with a form — like a checkout or registration page.
Click the RoboForm autofill icon in the form field.
Select your identity and RoboForm will automatically fill every matching field.
RoboForm can automatically fill non-password forms with information from saved Identities.
For multi-page checkout forms, click the autofill icon again on each new page.
✅ Result: You’ve filled a complex form in seconds instead of typing everything manually. RoboForm allows you to rename identities if you have more than one.
💡 Wskazówka: Create separate identities for work and personal use. This way, you can fill forms with the correct details for the identity depending on the context — no more accidentally using your personal address on a biznes order.
How to Use RoboForm Emergency Access
Dostęp awaryjny lets you grant a trusted person access to your vault in case of an emergency.
Users can set up Emergency Access in RoboForm to allow a trusted person to access their data.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Emergency Access in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Open the Emergency Access Page
Open the RoboForm app and navigate to “Emergency Access” in the settings menu.
You can also find the emergency access page through the RoboForm start page online.
Step 2: Add a Trusted Contact
Enter the email address of another RoboForm user you trust.
Set a waiting period — this is the time delay before they can access your vault.
The waiting period gives you time to deny the request if it’s not a real emergency.
This feature allows you to send your vault data to a trusted contact securely.
✓ Checkpoint: The trusted contact should receive an invitation email from RoboForm.
Step 3: Test the Emergency Access Setup
Ask your trusted contact to accept the invitation in their RoboForm account.
Once confirmed, they can request access anytime through the emergency access page.
You’ll receive a notification and can approve or deny the request.
✅ Result: You’ve set up a secure backup plan so a trusted person can reach your vault without losing your data.
💡 Wskazówka: Set the waiting period to at least 48 hours. This gives you enough time to deny an accidental or unauthorized request while still keeping the feature practical for real emergencies.
How to Use RoboForm Passwordless Unlock
Passwordless Unlock lets you open your vault using biometrics instead of typing your master password every time.
RoboForm allows users to unlock their vault on mobile using biometrics like Face ID or fingerprints.
Here’s how to use it step by step.
Watch Passwordless Unlock in action:
Now let’s break down each step.
Step 1: Open Biometric Settings
Open the RoboForm mobile app on your phone or tablet.
Go to the settings menu and tap “Security.”
Find the option to enable biometric unlock.
Step 2: Enable Biometric Authentication
Toggle on Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint unlock depending on your device. You can also enable two-factor authentication from the same security menu.

After confirming, your biometric data is linked to your vault.
✓ Checkpoint: You should see the biometric toggle turned on in security settings.
Step 3: Test Passwordless Login
Close the RoboForm app completely and reopen it.
Instead of entering your master password, use your face or fingerprint.
You can use the RoboForm mobile app without losing time typing your master password every time.
✅ Result: You can now unlock your vault instantly using biometrics — no more typing your long master password on a small screen.
💡 Wskazówka: Even with biometrics enabled, always keep your master password memorized. If your phone’s biometric sensor fails, you’ll still need the master password as a backup on the sign in page.

RoboForm Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Using a Weak Master Password
❌ Wrong: Setting a simple or short master password like “password123” that’s easy to guess.
✅ Right: Create a strong, unique master password with 14+ characters that you can still remember. Your secure master password protects everything in your vault.
Mistake #2: Skipping Two-Factor Authentication
❌ Wrong: Relying only on your master password without enabling any extra security layers.
✅ Right: Enable two-factor authentication on your RoboForm account immediately. Use a TOTP app or hardware key to protect your vault even if your master password is stolen.
Mistake #3: Never Backing Up Your Vault
❌ Wrong: Assuming your data is safe and never creating local backups of your RoboForm data.
✅ Right: Back up your vault periodically to prevent data loss. Export a backup through the RoboForm app at least once a month and store it in a secure location. You should regularly update RoboForm to access new features and security patches too.
Mistake #4: Not Setting Up Emergency Access
❌ Wrong: Keeping your vault locked with no way for family to access it in an emergency. If something happens to you, important accounts like banking and ubezpieczenie become unreachable.
✅ Right: Set up emergency access for a trusted family member or partner. Go to the emergency access page and invite another RoboForm user. Set a reasonable waiting period so you can deny accidental requests.
Mistake #5: Ignoring Security Center Warnings
❌ Wrong: Seeing a low security score and ignoring it. Weak and reused passwords leave your accounts open to credential-stuffing attacks.
✅ Right: Check the Security Center monthly. Fix every flagged password using the password generator. Aim for a security score above 90% to keep your accounts protected.
RoboForm Troubleshooting
Problem: RoboForm Extension Not Showing in Chrome
Cause: The RoboForm password manager Chrome extension may be disabled or not pinned to your toolbar after installation.
Naprawić: Click the puzzle icon in the upper right corner of Chrome. Find RoboForm and click the pin icon. If it’s not listed, go to chrome://extensions and enable RoboForm password manager. You may need to add RoboForm password manager extension into browser again from the Chrome Web Store.
Problem: RoboForm Won’t Auto-Fill on a Website
Cause: Some websites use unusual form code that prevents the RoboForm autofill icon from detecting fields.
Naprawić: Try right-clicking the form field and selecting “RoboForm → Fill” from the context menu. If that doesn’t work, open the RoboForm extension, find the login in the fill logins tab, and click it to fill manually. You should also update to the latest version of RoboForm to access new features and compatibility fixes.
Problem: Forgot Your Master Password
Cause: RoboForm uses zero-knowledge architecture, which means they cannot see or reset your master password.
Naprawić: If you forget your master password, there is no way to recover it directly. Use Emergency Access if you set it up — your trusted contact can provide access to your vault. To prevent this, write down your master password and store it in a safe physical location. To access the most up-to-date information about the current version of RoboForm visit the Help Center.
📌 Notatka: If none of these fix your issue, contact RoboForm support through their website.

Często zadawane pytania
How do I add passwords to RoboForm?
Visit any website and log in — the RoboForm autosave dialogue will prompt you to save your login credentials automatically. Click the save button when the dialog appears. You can also create logins manually in the RoboForm editor by clicking “Create New” and entering the website URL, username, and password. Users can also import existing passwords from other managers or browsers using a CSV file. Go to the Import section in RoboForm settings and upload your exported file.
How does RoboForm work?
RoboForm stores all your login credentials in an encrypted vault protected by your master password. When you visit a website, the extension detects login fields and fills them automatically. It uses AES-256 encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, which means no one — not even RoboForm’s team — can access your data. RoboForm will automatically fill your login credentials whenever you visit a saved site. Beyond passwords, RoboForm can fill forms with your address, credit card, and bank account information stored in identity profiles.
How to use RoboForm in Chrome?
Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for “RoboForm.” Click “Add to Chrome” to install the RoboForm password manager Chrome extension. Pin it using the puzzle icon in the upper right corner so the RoboForm icon is always visible. The password manager extension working in Chrome will auto-save and auto-fill your passwords on every web page. After installation, log in with your RoboForm account credentials. The extension syncs your entire vault from the cloud so all your logins are available immediately.
How to get started with RoboForm?
Go to the RoboForm download page and create a free account. Set a strong master password — this is the only password you need to remember going forward. Download the RoboForm app or add the RoboForm browser extension to Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Import your existing passwords from your browser or another manager using a CSV file. Enable cloud sync in settings so your vault stays updated across all devices. RoboForm offers cross-device syncing across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux platforms.
Has RoboForm ever been breached?
No, RoboForm has never had a data breach. It uses AES-256 encryption and zero-knowledge architecture — your data is encrypted locally before reaching their servers. RoboForm undergoes regular third-party security audits by Secfault Security. Unlike some competitors that have suffered major breaches, RoboForm has maintained a clean security record throughout its history. You should still enable two factor authentication and use a strong master password for extra protection.
How to force RoboForm to save a login?
If the RoboForm autosave dialog doesn’t appear, click the RoboForm extension icon and click the save button in the toolbar. You can also open the RoboForm editor and click “Create New” to add the login manually with the URL, username, and password. Check the settings menu to ensure “Offer to Save Logins” is enabled. Some sites use non-standard login forms that prevent automatic detection, so manual saving is the best workaround for those cases.
What are the cons of RoboForm?
The main drawbacks are a dated desktop interface compared to newer competitors like 1Password and Dashlane. The free plan limits you to a single device, and the family plan caps at five users. Password sharing only works with another RoboForm user, which means you cannot share credentials with people who use different managers. The extension occasionally has trouble detecting form fields on certain banking and government websites. Despite these limitations, RoboForm remains one of the most affordable full-featured password managers available.
Is RoboForm free anymore?
Yes, RoboForm still offers a free plan with unlimited password storage on one device. The free plan includes auto-saving, auto-filling, password audyt, and two factor authentication at no cost. For multi-device sync, sharing, emergency access, and breach monitoring, you need Premium at $1.66/mo. You also get a 30-day free trial of Premium features when you first create your RoboForm account — no credit card required to start.
What is better than RoboForm?
It depends on your needs. 1Password has a more polished interface and better family vault organization. Bitwarden is open-source with a stronger free tier and self-hosting options. Dashlane includes a built-in VPN and automatic password changer. NordPass uses newer XChaCha20 encryption. But RoboForm beats them all on price while still offering the best form filling, a built-in TOTP authenticator, and emergency access. For most individual users on a budget, RoboForm provides the best overall value.
Why does RoboForm not work in Chrome?
Check that the extension is enabled at chrome://extensions. Look for the RoboForm entry and make sure the toggle is turned on. Clear your browser cache and restart Chrome completely. If the problem continues, remove the extension and reinstall it from the Chrome Web Store. You should regularly update RoboForm to access new features and security patches. Also check that Chrome itself is up to date, as older browser versions can cause extension conflicts.
Is RoboForm safe to use?
Yes, RoboForm is very safe. It uses AES-256 encryption and zero-knowledge architecture, meaning your master password never leaves your device. It supports two-factor authentication with TOTP apps, hardware keys like YubiKey, and biometrics on mobile. RoboForm has passed independent security audits by Secfault Security and has never been breached. All sharing between users is protected by public-private key encryption. Your vault data is encrypted locally before it ever reaches RoboForm’s servers.
How to view passwords in RoboForm?
Open the RoboForm app or extension, go to “Logins,” and click any entry to expand it. The password appears as dots by default — click the eye icon to reveal the actual characters. You can also view passwords through the RoboForm start page online at my.roboform.com after logging in with your master password. On mobile, open the RoboForm app and tap any login entry. The dots in the upper password field can be revealed by tapping the eye icon there as well.
How do I force RoboForm to save a login?
If the RoboForm autosave feature did not trigger after logging in, click the RoboForm extension icon in the upper right corner of your browser. Click the save button to manually capture the current page’s login credentials. You can also open the RoboForm editor, click “Create New Login,” and type in the URL, username, and password. Check the settings menu to ensure the auto-save option is enabled and the site is not on your exceptions list.
