RoboForm Login Guide
How to log in to RoboForm
The exact steps depend on where you're signing in, but the underlying process is the same everywhere: identify yourself, then unlock your vault with your Master Password.
Open RoboForm on your device
Launch the browser extension icon, open the desktop application, or tap the mobile app icon, depending on where you want to sign in.
Enter your account email
Type the email address you originally used to create your RoboForm account. This identifies which vault RoboForm should try to unlock.
Enter your Master Password
This single password decrypts your entire vault locally on your device. Type it carefully — it is case-sensitive and never sent to RoboForm's servers in plain text.
Approve two-factor authentication (if enabled)
If you've turned on two-factor authentication, confirm the login using your authenticator app, security key, or one-time code.
Wait for your vault to sync
Once unlocked, RoboForm syncs your logins, bookmarks, and identities across every device connected to your account.

Password Recovery Guide
Locked out? Here's what actually works
RoboForm is built on zero-knowledge encryption, which means your Master Password never touches RoboForm's servers. That's great for privacy, but it also means there's no "reset link" that magically restores access the way it would for a typical website.
Realistic recovery options include:
- Password hint: A hint you set during account creation can jog your memory without exposing the password itself.
- Backup identity file: If you exported an identity/backup file previously, it can help restore access on a new device.
- Biometric unlock: On a device where Face ID, Touch ID, or Windows Hello was already linked to your vault, you may be able to unlock without retyping the Master Password.
- Official support: For account-specific recovery, the official RoboForm support team is the only party who can verify ownership and advise on next steps.
Good to know
Because RoboForm cannot see your Master Password, no legitimate support channel will ever ask you to say it out loud, type it into a chat window, or email it to anyone. Treat any such request as a scam attempt.
Supported browsers
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and most other Chromium-based browsers support the RoboForm extension through their respective official extension stores.
Browser Extension Guide
Using RoboForm in your browser
The browser extension is the fastest way to fill logins while you browse. After installing it from your browser's official extension store, pin the icon to your toolbar so it's always one click away.
Once installed, sign in with your account email and Master Password just as you would anywhere else. The extension will then offer to save new logins automatically and autofill existing ones on matching websites.

Mobile App Login Guide
Access RoboForm on Mobile Devices
Stay connected to your RoboForm account wherever you go. This guide explains how to access your password vault on Android and iOS devices, sync your saved credentials across devices, resolve common mobile access issues, and follow practical security practices for a smooth and reliable experience.
See Mobile Login StepsTip for shared devices
Avoid enabling biometric unlock on a phone or tablet that other people also use. It's convenient, but it can allow anyone who unlocks the device to also open your vault.
Security Tips
Keep your vault genuinely secure
A password manager is only as strong as the habits around it. These practices matter more than any single setting.
Use a unique Master Password
Your Master Password should never be reused anywhere else. Consider a long, memorable passphrase rather than a short, complex string.
Turn on two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication adds a second checkpoint, so a leaked password alone isn't enough to access your vault.
Review connected devices
Periodically check which devices are linked to your account and remove any you no longer use or recognize.
Keep software updated
Update your browser, operating system, and the RoboForm app regularly to receive the latest security patches.
Be wary of phishing
Only enter your credentials on the official RoboForm site or app. Double-check URLs before typing your Master Password anywhere.
Back up your identity file
Export and securely store a backup identity file so you have a recovery option if you switch devices unexpectedly.
Common Login Problems
Troubleshooting quick reference
Most login issues fall into a handful of familiar categories. Here are the fixes people find most useful.
| Problem | Likely Cause | Suggested Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Extension icon does nothing when clicked | Extension not fully loaded or browser needs a restart | Reload the browser, confirm the extension is enabled, then try again |
| "Incorrect Master Password" despite typing correctly | Caps Lock, autocorrect, or a keyboard layout mismatch | Type the password into a plain text field first to check for typos |
| Vault won't sync between devices | Weak internet connection or an outdated app version | Check connectivity, then update to the latest RoboForm version |
| Two-factor code rejected | Device clock is out of sync with real time | Enable automatic date and time settings, then request a new code |
| Mobile app asks to set up account again | App was reinstalled or storage/cache was cleared | Sign in again with your email and Master Password to relink the vault |
| Autofill not appearing on a website | The saved entry's URL doesn't match the current page | Open the vault manually and search for the saved login by name |
