If you needed a last nudge to compel you not to reuse “easy” passwords, this is it. Now RoboForm is taking 60 percent off its annual Premium plan, which makes the venerable password manager a low-cost solution to base all those weak logins on strong, unique credentials that differ across every account you own.
The timing is also something of a sales pitch. Security researchers have demonstrated time and again that stolen and reused credentials are still a leading cause of breaches. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report has pointed for years to the theft of credentials as a top threat action. A Google–Harris Poll found that most Americans still reuse passwords. Put another way, the problem remains — and a manager that automates better hygiene can substantially lower risk.
Why This Is Important for Your Online Security
Most common passwords are catastrophically easy to crack. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre revealed earlier that “123456” featured on tens of millions of stolen passwords. Attackers also assume you will reuse: If one site spills, that same password commonly opens your email or banking or social accounts through credential stuffing.
The downstream costs are real. The latest plumb line to Cyber-Hades as reported by IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach report, the global average breach has now breached over $4M, and while this is primarily a business number, consumers “pay” in time lost, exposure to fraud et al. in recovery aggravation. Whatever else, though, going to unique, randomly generated passwords for every site is the single biggest hammer most people can throw — and it’s only possible with a manager doing the heavy lifting.
What’s Inside the 60% Off RoboForm Premium Plan
The discounted RoboForm Premium lets you make unlimited logins across unlimited devices, all with secure cloud backup and sync between desktop and mobile. And there’s also a Family option — 60 percent off, too — that packages together up to five premium accounts so everyone in the home can have her or his own vault and shared access when appropriate.
On a deal window, the annual price falls right down and makes it very easy to jump on this best-practice setup. A 30-day money-back guarantee provides a little bit of insurance if you want to try the workflow out before taking the plunge.
Features Meant to Supplant Dumb Old Passwords
Generator and vault: RoboForm generates high-entropy (long, complex, unique) passwords and stores them in an encrypted vault. Auto-fill and auto-save do the work of logging in for you as you surf, so there’s no need to memorize anything beyond one master password.
Security posture checks: Reusing weak or compromised passwords? Built-in audit identifies at-risk accounts and requires new passwords. What matters is that you keep an ongoing eye on it, a discipline that transforms haphazard “I’ll fix this later” intent into sustained, guided cleanup.
Contemporary authentication: Compatible with two-step verification, such as authenticator app codes and hardware security keys. RoboForm also works with passkeys, following FIDO Alliance standards also endorsed by Apple, Google, and Microsoft, so you can start taking advantage of phishing-resistant sign-ins where possible.
Privacy-forward architecture: RoboForm operates according to a zero-knowledge model with AES-256 encryption so your data is encrypted at the device level and the provider cannot access your secrets. It is modeled after guidance from security orgs (NIST, etc.) — strong credentials, multi-factor auth even for internal access, reduce centralization of plain passwords.
Time-Savers and Real-World Use Cases That Matter
Form filling: The “form” in RoboForm is far from an afterthought. Saved identities enable auto-completion, ease shipping and form-filling on tax return forms and checkout fields. Baymard Institute research shows that complicated checkouts result in cart abandonment, while faster and more accurate form filling reduces friction in everyday tasks.
Secure sharing: Rather than texting passwords, RoboForm allows you to share individual logins or Shared Folders with delegated permissions.
You can turn access off at any point, and even create one-time passwords for temporary needs — great for logging into a streaming service with that visiting relative or giving limited access to the contractor who is working for as little time on your house as possible.
Digital legacy: If you’re unable to access your account for any reason, trusted contacts can gain access after a waiting period you’ve assigned. The digital legacy feature resolves a dilemma that many families and small businesses realize too late.
Getting Started in Minutes on All Your Devices
Migration is straightforward. You can import saved logins from browsers and other managers via CSV, allow the app itself to auto-capture new credentials as you travel the web, and enable biometric unlock on mobile devices. Extensions are available for all the big browsers, while apps run on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
Pro tip: Establish a long and memorable master password or passphrase, turn on two-factor authentication for your vault, and start by repairing the handful of accounts that are most important — email, banking, cloud storage. In a week you will feel the return that accumulates from auto-fill and stronger security.
The bottom line: Such a passive, throwaway position is an invitation to credential thieves that some idiot has their doors wide open. A good password manager makes better security painless, and with RoboForm’s 60% off annual plan, making the switch is easier (and cheaper) than ever before.
