| Encryption | AES-256-GCM, PBKDF2 1MShow detailsHide detailsEach record is encrypted client-side with its own 256-bit AES-GCM key; those record keys are wrapped by a per-user Data Key, which is in turn wrapped by a key derived from the master password with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 at 1,000,000 iterations (128-bit salt) — the highest iteration count among the managers reviewed here. Every field is encrypted, including URLs, titles, notes, custom fields, TOTP secrets and file attachments. The offline cache uses a separate randomly generated Client Key protected with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512. A hybrid Kyber key-encapsulation layer began rolling out across the clients in November 2025. | AES-256, PBKDF2-SHA256 1MShow detailsHide detailsThe vault is encrypted client-side with AES-256 using a key derived from the Master Password via PBKDF2 with SHA-256 and a random 32-byte salt, at 1,000,000 iterations by default — the same order of magnitude as the highest iteration counts in this category, though PBKDF2 remains a non-memory-hard KDF unlike Argon2. Only a one-way, server-side password derived from the Master Password is ever sent to RoboForm's servers; all encryption and decryption happens locally. |
