RoboForm is a password manager, which is a class of software that allows users to have secure, unique passwords for every website accessed. It is amongst the older password managers[1][2] on the market, developed by US company Siber Systems,[3] distributed as a freemium product with a subscription plan,[4] available on macOS, Windows, iOS and Android[4] and as a plugin for web browsers.[5][6]

Overview

[edit]

Siber Systems is a company founded in 1995 by Vadim Maslov[7][8] with headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia.[9] The company was founded to capitalize on research into text parsing, compilation and transformation to produce useful, commercially-viable technologies.[9] They released RoboForm as their first consumer product in 1999.[10][11][2]

RoboForm was initially a form-filling utility and was further developed into a full-fledged password manager,[12] then delivered with password generator, password capturer, password importer, multi-factor authentication and secure password sharing.[6]

The first business version of RoboForm was released in 2009. In 2010 it was introduced premium cross-platform subscription service for individuals and in 2015, Siber Systems launched RoboForm as a software as a service solution (SaaS). The freemium model was available starting in 2017.[5]
