Ditching Bitwarden: Could RoboForm Be My Next Password Manager?

I’m chiming in to confirm this. I haven’t come across a password manager that perfectly captures every login on every site. This seems like just one of those imperfections I’ve seen forever with password managers. For me, the one that does it the most is 1Password. It’s still the nagging issue that stays with me. It’s frequent enough that I’m always conscious when saving a new login. Instead of getting a notification it’s been saved, I have to check to make sure. Every time I check, it’s never saved. So I have to do it manually. Whenever this issue arises, it never triggers itself. Most of the times, it does its job superbly. On the aside, I’ve been using RoboForm since it hit the market in 1999. It hasn’t always been my constant, not for any particular reason. But on my journey with password managers, I’ve tried one and used it for a time, then moved to another. Along the way, I’ve always kept RoboForm. I’ve had it continuously and gone through cycles where I use it an awful lot then set it aside and use something else. I haven’t seen its equal in filling out forms. It does a fantastic job with long, convoluted, complex forms. As for logins, passwords, 2FA codes, and passkeys, it works just as well as the next guy. The only thing I get on occasion, and it’s rare, is that its browser extension sometimes seems to freeze the browser tab I’m in. It gets stuck and the only way to release it is to kill the tab. It’s rare, but it’s happened enough that I can’t say it’s something that happens once and goes away. In my experience, “its a thing”. Otherwise, it’s pretty solid. It may not look like the freshest kid on the block, but it’s been solid since day one. It’s a great product and the peer of much the rest, even though it may not be the prettiest. I’m saying this from the perspective of a user, not one who has drilled down into the technical side of things.
