Chapter 2: Key RoboForm Terms

Login RoboForm saves online passwords into what we call a Login. RoboForm will offer to fill your Login details automatically when you visit the login page again.

Bookmarks Bookmarks are websites and web pages you can save to RoboForm, similar to a Bookmark in your browser. Bookmarks leave you one click away from your favorite web pages.

Identity Your Identity is your personal profile. RoboForm can automatically fill in long non-password forms, such as an online checkout form, with your Identity.

Contact This is your Address Book, each entry in this Address Book is called a Contact. A Contact is like an Identity but is not used for form filling. Instead, it is used to lookup other people’s personal data such as their name, phone number, address, etc.

Safenote You can store frequently-used text into what we call a Safenote. Safenotes provide storage for important information that is not automatically stored in Logins or Identities such as lock key combinations, secret family recipes, and software activation codes.

RoboForm Data All of your RoboForm Items - your Logins, Bookmarks, Identities, Contacts, and Safenotes - make up your RoboForm Data.

Folder All of your RoboForm Items can be categorized in Folders, similar to Windows Folders. Any file of RoboForm Data can be organized into Folders - including other Folders!

Master Password This is the main password that unlocks all of your RoboForm Data. Do not forget your Master Password!

Start Page This is the main page of the RoboForm application that allows you to view and edit your RoboForm Data.

RoboForm Web Browser This is the browser within the RoboForm application. You are able to save, fill, and submit forms within the RoboForm Browser.

Menu Button This three dotted button opens Matching Logins, Identities, and Contacts when you are using the RoboForm Browser.

Matching Login In the Menu Button, Matching Login finds which Login is the best fit for the web page you are visiting.

Preferences This menu holds many RoboForm options and features such as Sharing, Security Center, and Emergency Access.

Save Prompt This is the screen that allows you to save RoboForm Logins and Bookmarks in the application.

Chapter 3: Logins

Use Logins to store data that is specific to a web site; data such as Usernames, Passwords, Survey fields, etc. Essentially, you can save any form data to Logins and use it to automatically fill any form later.

Saving Logins

AutoSave a Login

When you manually enter login data to a login page and click the Login (Submit) button, RoboForm will offer to save this login info by displaying the Save Screen.

    How to AutoSave a Login
  • Manually login to a website in your RoboForm Web Browser.
  • The Save Screen will open. You can rename the Login name here.
  • Saving Logins
  • Click Save.
  • The Save Prompt will close and your Login will save.

If you try to save a Login that has the same name as an existing Login, you will be shown a warning that says saving the Login will overwrite the data of your existing Login.

If the domain is blocked, RoboForm will not ask to save Logins automatically. You can find and remove blocked domains in Settings > Form Filling > No AutoSave for these sites.

The Save Screen pops up only if the Login data you entered is New, Different, or Updated. It will not prompt you if the exact same data (E.g. Username & Password) are already saved to RoboForm.

New Account Detection
RoboForm can save your Username and Password from the page where you create a New Account into a Login. Even though it’s not the exact login page, AutoSave will pop up on your New Account or Registration page.

Password Change Detection
This also works with changing your Password on an existing account; Save Screen will offer to save your new password and overwrite your old password in Logins.

Manually Save a Login

On the occasion that the Save Screen doesn’t pop up - because of a blocked domain or the website’s format - you can manually save a Login.

    How to Manually Save a Login
  • Go to the website you want to save a Login for.
  • Type in your Login as normal.
  • Before clicking Submit or Login, click the Menu Button at the top right corner of the screen.

      RoboForm Sharing and Sending feature allows you to securely share RoboForm Data (items or folders) with others.

      Sharing and Sending uses a Public-Private Key Encryption which replaces the risky practice of sharing your Master Password or emailing sensitive data.

      If your recipient does not have a RoboForm, the recipient will receive an email with instructions on how to create a free RoboForm account.

      Sharing

      Sharing RoboForm Data will give the recipient access to the data, and any changes (E.g. changing a password) will be reflected in their copy of the data. Access to the shared data can be revoked at any time. The sender may choose multiple recipients.

      How to Share RoboForm Data
      • Find the RoboForm Data in All Items or its respective menu (e.g. Logins Menu).
      • Hold down the item, and in the menu that pops up, select Sharing.

      • Limited: The recipient will not be able to edit or share RoboForm items in the Shared Folder. Logins can only be used to log in to websites, applications, and mobile apps - the passwords cannot be viewed in the Editor. Identities and Safenotes can be viewed in the Editor.
      • Regular: The recipient can view and edit RoboForm items in the Shared Folder, and the changes they make will be propagated to other recipients and to the sender.
      • Manager: Full access rights. In addition to being able to view and edit all items, the recipient can adjust permission levels, as well as add or remove other recipients (including the original sender).

      To Revoke Shared Data, press the name of the recipient and select OK.

      Chapter 12: Security Center

      The Security Center identifies whether your passwords stored in RoboForm are unique, complex, and randomly generated. It further suggests which of your passwords should be changed and made stronger. Security

      Security Center is located in the Tools tab of the Settings menu.

      Understanding the Security Center

      Security Score

      Your Security Score is shown at the top of the page. The percentage score, rating (eg: “Good”), and description represent the collective strength of all of your individual passwords. The rating of the Security Score has a range of Bad (0-25%), Average (26-50%), Good (51-75%), and Excellent (76-100%).

      Individual Logins

      Below the Security Score there are three tabs that break down your Individual Logins. The tabs with red shields have items lowering the Security Score, while green shields satisfy the Security Score test.

      The first tab is labeled All. When you open this tab, it will show you all the Logins and identities their Strength Ranking: Weak (red shield), Good (orange shield), or Strong (green shield). By default, the Weak Logins are listed first.

      The levels of Password Strength for individual passwords are determined by the zxcvbn algorithm, which is based on entropy or unpredictability. The strength ratings for individual passwords have a range of Bad (0-25%), Average (26-50%), Good (51-75%), and Excellent (75-100%). In order to achieve a Strong Password Strength rating, create a unique and complex password.

      Clicking on an Individual Password will open the Edit Screen.

      Reused Passwords

      The middle tab is labeled Reused and lists multiple Logins with identical passwords. The number in this tab represents the amount of unique passwords that have been reused for multiple websites. Logins are organized under Groups with Reused Passwords; each Group consists of Logins that share the same password.

      Duplicated Logins

      The last tab on the right is labeled Complete Duplicates and shows Logins with identical usernames and passwords for the same website. The number in this tab represents the amount of username/password combinations that have been saved more than once.

      Complete Duplicates do not affect the Security Score, but have their own tab so the user can easily delete Complete Duplicates saved to RoboForm.

      How to Improve your Security Score

        In order to improve the strength of your passwords and increase your Security Score, follow these steps:
      • Log in to a website that has a Weak score.
      • Find the Account or Settings page where you can change your password.
      • Select the Password Generator in your Lower Toolbar. Read more in Chapter 10: Password Generator.
      • Remember to save the newly generated password in RoboForm.

      Going through this process for all your weak passwords will better secure your information and improve your security score.

      Chapter 13: Emergency Access

      In case of an emergency, such as incapacitation or death, it could be vital to have a trusted person obtain access to your medical, financial, and other important information. With Emergency Access, you can set up measures for a pre-approved contact to securely receive access to your RoboForm Data after a certain time period passes.

      Emergency Access uses public-private key encryption, similar to our Sharing and Sending features. This allows for secure access by the recipient without the grantor's Master Password.

      To open Emergency Access and its settings, select it in the Settings menu.

      Make sure to set up Emergency Access as soon as possible to ensure you are prepared for an emergency. Setting up Emergency Access is explained below.
