Set up with confidence
Getting started with RoboForm the right way
A good first week with RoboForm is mostly about habits, not settings. Create your account
with a master password you will genuinely remember, store any recovery details somewhere
safe, and resist the temptation to reuse a password you already use somewhere else. That
single credential is the only thing that can unlock everything you save from now on.
Next, move your existing logins into the vault. Importing from a browser or another manager
takes minutes, and it is worth spending a few more to delete the plain-text notes,
spreadsheets, and exported files you no longer need. Every credential that stops living in
an unprotected file is a real reduction in risk, not a theoretical one.
Then let the software work for you. Install the browser extension and the mobile apps so
one-click login covers both your desk and your pocket, visit the roboform login page from
any machine when you need web access away from home, and turn on two-factor authentication
so a stolen password is never enough on its own. If your household shares accounts, use a
shared folder instead of sending passwords through chat.
If something does go wrong — a device that will not sync, an autofill that ignores a field,
a sign-in that refuses to complete — resist random reinstalls. Note exactly what you see,
work through the cause step by step with our practical guides, and escalate with evidence
if the problem belongs with official support.
