NordPass might still be the new face at the password managers' party, but it’s surely not hiding in the corner. Launched in 2019 and backed by Nord Security (the same team behind NordVPN), it quickly stepped into the spotlight with strong security chops and a clean, user-friendly design.

Nord Security has years of cybersecurity experience, and it shows. NordPass is built with privacy at its core, and its Panama headquarters are far from the reach of Five Eyes and similar surveillance groups, so your data stays firmly in your hands.

In just a few years, it’s rolled out smart extras like a breach scanner, passkey support, email masking, and password history recovery. Although it may be young, NordPass is growing rapidly and ticking all the right boxes.

Now, let’s turn to the background of RoboForm.

RoboForm started life in 2000 as a humble form-filling tool, but it didn’t stay humble for long. Created by Siber Systems, a privately held company in Fairfax, Virginia, it quickly grew into a full-blown password manager. By 2009, there was an Enterprise edition for business users, and in 2015, it made the leap to the cloud with RoboForm for Business.

These days, RoboForm holds its own against the biggest names in the field, offering a solid mix of simplicity and power. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, keeping your passwords synced and secured with military-grade encryption — and it’s got a spotless security record to back it up.

The one caveat? It’s based in the USA, part of the Five Eyes Alliance (FVEY) intelligence-sharing network. While RoboForm hasn’t been caught logging user activity, US law can compel companies to share data if needed.

From password rookies to power users hunting for extras like secure sharing, email masking, and breach monitoring, RoboForm manages to be both approachable and seriously capable.

A password manager is only as convenient as the devices it runs on. If it can’t follow you from your laptop to your phone to your work browser, you’ll hit roadblocks fast. Luckily, both NordPass and RoboForm have cast a wide net when it comes to compatibility, offering apps for major desktop and mobile operating systems, along with extensions for all the most popular browsers.

The biggest difference shows up on Linux and Chrome OS. NordPass gives Linux users a full desktop app, while RoboForm limits them to browser extensions. For Chrome OS, NordPass offers its Web Vault, and RoboForm sticks to extensions as well. Still, unless you’re specifically looking for a native Linux app, both options deliver solid coverage across platforms, making this round too close to call.

Features comparison: NordPass vs RoboForm

Both NordPass and RoboForm cover the essential password manager functions you’d expect:

• Save unlimited passwords in a secure vault
• Auto-save and auto-fill logins and forms
• Import/export passwords for easy migration
• Generate strong passwords
• Organize entries (passwords, notes, payment details)
• Sync across devices
• Secure data sharing
• Two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Emergency access/trusted contact
• Multi-platform support
• Industry-standard encryption

In other words, they’ve both got the basics covered. Just keep in mind that losing your master password is still a headache with either service, so enabling biometrics and setting up an emergency contact is a smart move.

Importing/exporting passwords

Like any good password manager, both let you store your logins in a secure, encrypted vault. You can add them one by one through the dashboard, or let the app handle it automatically as you go. For a quicker start, you can bulk import your passwords, either through built-in import tools or by uploading a .CSV file.

The importing option comes into play only if you’re already using another password manager or your web browser for storage. However, as noted in our secure browser guide, it's not a good idea to store passwords directly in your browser. However, it's fine to use a secure browser extension, such as the ones below.

Fortunately, both NordPass and RoboForm will allow you to import your passwords from various platforms.

NordPass supports import from all major password managers including 1Password, LastPass, KeePass, Dashlane, and BitWarden. As for browsers, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Brave are supported. For everything else you can export/import via .CSV file.

RoboForm’s list of supported password managers includes some big names as well – LastPass, 1Password, BitWarden, Keeper, and True Key – to name a few. As with NordPass, you can also import passwords from browsers – the same ones are supported except for Brave. For everything else, the answer is .CSV file

Although exporting/importing passwords via .CSV might feel intimidating at first, it’s surprisingly straightforward.

Auto-filling and capturing login information

When it comes to auto-filling and capturing logins, both NordPass and RoboForm pass the test with flying colors. As soon as you sign in to a site, a small window will pop up in the top-right corner prompting you to save your login information.

From then on, every time you visit the same sites, the icons will appear and once you click on them, they will auto-fill the login fields with your credentials.

This process is as straightforward and as swift with both our contenders and everything should be done within a couple of clicks.

Random password generator

To make sure your passwords can’t be cracked, NordPass and RoboForm offer strong password generators – and you don’t have to be a subscriber to lend their password-creating powers.

With NordPass’ strong password generator, you can come up with passwords of up to 64 characters. These can be a combination of uppercase and lowercase characters, as well as digits and symbols.

And if you’d rather use a passphrase than a confusing combo of characters, NordPass also offers a passphrase generator.

At the same time, with RoboForm you can create up to 512 characters long passwords. It supports everything NordPass’ password generator does and also throws in two additional settings options: to exclude similar characters and to include hexadecimal numbering, 0-9, A-F.

Premium features

Considering both of our contenders are just as effective when it comes to core features, their premium features may be a deciding point. Some of these are cost-free, while others come with paid plans only.

So, if premium features are the most significant factor for you, here’s a brief list of the best premium features you will get with NordPass and RoboForm.

Password audit / Password strength checker

You can check how secure your passwords are with both of our contenders.

With RoboForm, you’ll have to go to your dashboard and find the “Security Center” section near the bottom-left sidebar menu. As soon as you arrive there, it will automatically check the strength of every password saved in your vault and give you a shout if any of them have been reused, compromised, or simply shown as weak.

With NordPass you can use a stand-alone password strength checker, and it’s free for all subscribers and casual visitors alike. Plus, it will also flag any passwords that have popped up in known data breaches.

Real-time data breach monitoring with alerts

All premium NordPass subscribers can benefit from its real-time data breach monitoring and they’ll also be alerted without delay if their email address gets exposed during a breach.

This gives NordPass users the ability to act quickly and diminish the damage that could be done in a data breach.

While RoboForm will notify you about any compromised password in your vault, it won’t do much about your email address.

Secure data sharing / Secure shared folder

If you’ve purchased any of the premium NordPass plans, the items you share with other users will also appear in the “Shared Items” section of your vault. Thanks to this you can easily keep track of what you’ve shared and with whom.

We must also note that while you have to be a premium (paid) user to share your items, your recipients can be free NordPass users or non-users. So, you can securely share your items with pretty much anyone.

To securely share your data using RoboForm you’ll have to do it via its secure shared folder feature. It’s available with paid plans only (starting with “Everywhere”) and it gives you the ability to grant specific access levels to specific users, in line with their needs.

Random username generator

If you’re not feeling particularly creative or simply want to create a unique username for all of your online accounts, NordPass’ username generator can help you with that. 

It’ll generate random usernames that’ll take shape of strings of words that are relatively simple to remember. Here, you can choose categories (such as movies, space, and food), which will then affect the words that form your username.

For instance, by choosing “food” you can end up with random usernames such as “beerlobster”, “grapeheart”, and “whiskeywind” – so, “beerlobster” for the win.

In the end, the generator will also display if your username is available or taken across different platforms – YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and so forth.

Business-grade features: NordPass vs RoboForm

Cybersecurity for companies can be painless. NordPass and RoboForm offer business features to safeguard passwords and streamline administrative work, albeit in their unique ways.

NordPass leans into simplicity and efficiency while still packing a punch. Company-wide settings let admins enforce password policies, auto-lock rules, and multi-factor authentication with just a few clicks. You can share folders across teams, set up emergency access, and even integrate with Google Workspace SSO or Vanta for compliance workflows. Extras like the data breach scanner and password health tool keep an eye on weak or compromised credentials, so you’re never caught off guard.

RoboForm also comes loaded with business-grade capabilities, giving admins centralized control over users, permissions, and custom security policies. Its single sign-on (SSO) integration, SCIM provisioning, and role-based access controls make onboarding and offboarding a breeze. RoboForm goes a step further with granular sharing controls, detailed activity logs, and priority support for business users. Between secure password sharing, dark web monitoring, and multi-device sync, it’s a serious contender for teams of all sizes.

User interface and ease of use: Which is easier to use, NordPass or RoboForm?

Both NordPass and RoboForm hit the high points in terms of user-friendliness, starting with the sign-up and installation process to adding login credentials and syncing the data securely across multiple devices.

In short, both our contenders are relatively simple to understand and use. And if you get stuck anywhere along the way, there are simple-to-follow guides.

Like in our NordPass vs 1Password side-by-side comparison, we’ll cover three core phases: the initial sign-up, user interface design, and how easy was to work with both password managers. 

Sign-up and installation

Orienting yourself around official sites, finding personal and business plans, and installing password managers is equally easy with both NordPass and RoboForm. You can also find add-ons in your web browser app store. Since we use Chrome, we visited the Chrome Web Store and found both extensions within seconds.

If you want to try out the freemium edition of NordPass, go to the official site and scroll down until you see three plans. There, you’ll see the “Free” plan so go and hit the “Get Started” button. After this, you’ll be asked to enter a valid email address and come up with a master password – and then you can continue with the installation.

 If you wish to add a NordPass to your browser, you can do it like with any other extension.

Making use of RoboForm’s free plan is also easy. Just visit the official site and tap on the “Get RoboForm Free” button on the landing page – it’s probably the first button you’ll spot on the site. Besides being asked to supply our full name, sign-up and installation processes were pretty much the same as with NordPass.

User interface

Once the installation is complete, you’ll be sent to the main dashboard – and the same is true with both password managers.

As soon as you add all the necessary information to NordPass, Nord Security will welcome you with an email and help you make your first steps – and give you a link. When you arrive on the dashboard you’ll also meet the setup wizard which will give you a couple of tips about using NordPass. 

Like with NordPass, once you reach RoboForm’s dashboard you’ll be offered a short YouTube tutorial. It seems helpful enough and it will support you during your first steps with the password manager. 

Also, if you find UI’ to be eerily similar, it’s because we’re trying our best to protect our eyesight by utilizing the dark mode – and yes, both our contenders have this option. 

Note: It should also be mentioned that you’ll have to create a new account with NordPass even if you already have an account with Nord Security – for instance, if you’re using NordVPN or NordLocker.

Security and encryption: Encryption, MFA, and more

Considering the amount of sensitive information a password manager holds – such as contact information, credit card details, and possibly compromising documents – checking out the security-focused features is critical.

While it doesn’t occur often, password managers have suffered security incidents. As we covered in our LastPass review, this password manager has suffered from a handful of security issues. Proceed with caution.

So, like in our NordPass vs LastPass guide, before choosing which of our contenders is more secure, we’ll check how they hold up in terms of security.

Specifically, we’ll see do they utilize industry-standard encryption, what authentication tools are available, whether there is secure data storage, and whether they’ve passed any third-party security audits.

Encryption

With solid encryption algorithms, zero-knowledge architecture, and 2FA support, both NordPass and RoboForm can keep you on the safe side of the internet. However, NordPass comes out on top in terms of security technology.

With a cutting-edge ChaCha20 encryption algorithm, variant XChaCha, NordPass manages to stay a step ahead of its competitors, including RoboForm. It’s not only more up-to-date than standard AES, but also lightning fast, free of hardware, and future-proof.

Meanwhile, RoboForm protects all user data on its servers with 256-bit AES encryption, which is still considered to be an industry standard. All data is encrypted in transit between your devices and the RoboForm servers, as well as while at rest.

As with other password managers, there is only one way to access data in your vault and it includes a master password that only you control. So, while RoboForm being situated in the USA is bad news, even if the company gets compelled by the US government to share your data, it will stay securely encrypted, and locked behind the master key.

Multifactor security

With NordPass, you can’t simply avoid using MFA, as you shouldn’t. So, it comes as no surprise that NordPass supports a handful of authentication methods including verification via email, third-party authenticator apps, and third-party security keys.

And if you want to use NordPass for your business, both of its business-focus plans give you the ability to choose which devices are to be trusted. 

RoboForm provides 2FA via email, mobile phone, and third-party authentication apps like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy. Whichever version you choose, it’ll involve a one-time password that will be valid for a minute or less.

NordPass gives all users the ability to use 2FA. Meanwhile, with RoboForm, 2FA is only available with paid plans only. 

Secure data storage

Both NordPass and RoboForm offer some sort of storage but they come with a couple of shortcomings.

To utilize NordPass’ data storage, you’ll have to download the NordLocker app and install it separately from the password manager (see our NordLocker review for more info). However, this inconvenience comes with a superb pay-off – even with the free edition, you’ll get to use a plentiful 3GB of secure storage space.

If 3GB isn’t enough, you can upgrade your storage space up to 2TB – but there is added cost to this. 

While RoboForm doesn’t offer encrypted data storage like NordPass, there are a few features that come close to it. Namely, bookmark storage (similar to the bookmark feature that comes with web browsers) and an option for its users to store their data locally. The latter is a superior choice for tech-savvy users with their own secure servers but can be really risky if you don’t possess enough technical know-how to keep your network secure.

Also, like with almost all password managers, RoboForm lets you save secure notes, but this isn’t as comprehensive as the secure data storage NordPass has to offer.

Third-party security audits

Although NordPass is still practically a newcomer, it has undergone a comprehensive security audit and its results are looking great – as shown in the audit summary. The audit was conducted by an independent security company called Cure53. While a few low-level vulnerabilities were discovered, NordPass team took immediate action to patch them up. We see this auditing trend also growing in the VPN space, such as with ExpressVPN and NordVPN.

Unlike NordPass and other top password managers, RoboForm doesn’t offer any information about security audits it has undergone, if any. Since we can’t overstate the importance of independent audits for any cybersecurity company, we’ll take this as one of RoboForm’s major stumbling blocks.

---

Privacy policy: Is NordPass or RoboForm more private?

Let’s start with the less private choice out of the two, RoboForm.

The company claims it collects as little user data as it is possible and this includes information gathered from the license purchase page and users’ computers. However, RoboForm operates and stores data in the US (remember, one of the FVEY countries), and there have been many situations when government agencies have showed up demanding user data.

On the other end, while NordPass collects some basic statistical information (such as the strength of your master password), the company behind it is situated in Panama – a country that isn’t part of Five Eyes, Nine Eyes, or 14 Eyes surveillance alliances. This allows NordPass to better secure user data.

Plans and pricing: RoboForm vs NordPass, which gives more value?

If you’re searching for a completely cost-free solution, you’ll be pleased to hear that both NordPass and RoboForm offer some of the best forever-free password managers in the industry.

So, if you don’t mind using them on a single device, you’ll get all the core functionalities of a password manager such as unlimited logins, form-filling, secure password sharing, and creating strong passwords – and checking them for leaks too.

All in all, if you need a password manager for personal use, you can get a superb solution with NordPass and RoboForm alike.

Now, let’s see the prices and plans for NordPass:

Customer support: Does NordPass or RoboForm offer better support?

At last, we’ll examine customer support options – the same way we did in our NordPass vs Dashlane guide. In short, we’ll check what channels are available, at what time, and to which users.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re a free or paid user. With NordPass you’ll get almost the same level of support, including 24/7 live chat support. However, premium users will get the help they need more promptly. The live chat support (available 24/7/365) is a big advantage of NordPass.

As for self-service, NordPass provides a FAQ section, well-supplied knowledge base, and an official blog full of tips and tricks.

RoboForm’s support team is available by email, and there’s also live chat from 9 AM to 5 PM (EST), Monday to Friday — open to all users. When we tested it, the agents were quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making the whole process a breeze.

As for self-services, you can choose between step-by-step guides in the “Help Center” and the “RoboForm Manual” section. We found most how-tos surprisingly simple to understand and follow. Also, there is a FAQ section covering around 30 common concerns.

NordPass or RoboForm: Which password manager Is right for you?

If you’re after a password manager that’s easy to use, rock-solid on security, and won’t drain your wallet, you can’t go wrong with either NordPass or RoboForm. Both also sweeten the deal with free trials or money-back guarantees, so you can take them for a spin risk-free.

That said, after weighing up every category, NordPass edges ahead as the overall winner. Here’s a quick recap:

1. Background check: NordPass – The company behind it is located in a safe privacy jurisdiction and has passed an independent security audit. RoboForm, however, is based in the US and has not published any security audits.
2. Platforms availability: Tie – NordPass and RoboForm are on an equal footing as they support the same platforms.

4. User interface and ease of use: Tie – We found both password managers equally easy to understand and use.
5. Security and encryption: NordPass – NordPass wins with flying colors as its competitor is short on security features and offers no information about its security audits.
6. Privacy policy: NordPass – NordPass wins without a hitch as its competitor is located in the USA, one of the worst countries in the world for digital privacy.
7. Plans and pricing: Tie – Both contenders provide personal, family, and business plans, and all of them are pretty pocket-friendly to boot. Also, both password managers offer a fine forever-free plan.
8. Customer support options: NordPass – NordPass provides round-the-clock live chat for all users (free and paid alike) and a regularly updated blog.  

All in all, although both password managers provide superb value for money – and fantastic forever-free editions –  NordPass comes out stronger in most categories.
