RoboForm Alternative: OneckPass with Modern Encryption
RoboForm is a veteran, but its technology has aged. Discover why OneckPass is the ideal alternative: Argon2id instead of PBKDF2, BRL pricing without promotions and free sync across all devices.
RoboForm Alternative: OneckPass with Modern Encryption
RoboForm has a respectable history. Founded in 1999, it is the oldest password manager still in operation. That's 25 years on the market, millions of users and a reputation built over two decades. If you use or have used RoboForm, you probably value its reliability and simplicity.
But security technology evolves. What was state of the art in 2000 is no longer in 2026. And it's exactly at this point that many RoboForm users start asking: is there a more modern alternative without giving up practicality?
OneckPass was built with the most current security technologies and offers an experience designed for the Brazilian audience. Let's understand what changes.
The PBKDF2 Problem in 2026
The main technical reason to consider a RoboForm alternative is its key derivation function: PBKDF2-SHA256.
What is KDF and why should you care
When you create a master password in your password manager, that password needs to be transformed into an encryption key. This process is called key derivation (KDF). A good KDF makes it extremely expensive (in time and computational resources) for an attacker to try to guess your master password through brute force.
PBKDF2 vs Argon2id: the numbers
PBKDF2 was published in 2000. It uses operations that are easily executable on GPUs and specialized chips (ASICs). This means attackers with modern hardware can test an enormous volume of passwords per second.
Argon2id was the winner of the Password Hashing Competition in 2015 and is recommended by OWASP as the ideal standard. It requires not only processing power but also large amounts of memory (OneckPass uses 64MB per operation), making specialized hardware attacks exponentially more expensive.
| Aspect | PBKDF2-SHA256 (RoboForm) | Argon2id (OneckPass) |
|---|---|---|
| Year created | 2000 | 2015 |
| GPU resistance | Low | High |
| ASIC resistance | Low | High |
| Memory usage | Minimal | 64MB per operation |
| OWASP recommendation | Acceptable (legacy) | Recommended (ideal standard) |
This is not an academic difference. It's the difference between a lock a professional opens in minutes and one that would resist for centuries.
Your master password deserves the best protection available. Create your account on OneckPass and use Argon2id for free.
Beyond Encryption: What Else Changes
Encryption is the strongest technical reason to consider migration, but there are other practical differences that impact daily use.
Transparent BRL Pricing
One of RoboForm's attractions is its aggressive promotional pricing: US$ 0.99/month for the first year. But the regular price is US$ 2.49/month (~R$ 14.50), plus 4.38% IOF and possible international card fees.
OneckPass has a fixed price in BRL: R$ 9.90/month or R$ 99/year (R$ 8.25/month on the annual plan). No promotions that change, no exchange rate surprises, no international fees. You know exactly how much you'll pay, always.
| Aspect | OneckPass | RoboForm |
|---|---|---|
| Currency | BRL | USD |
| Individual Price | R$ 9.90/month or R$ 99/year | US$ 0.99/month (promo) or US$ 2.49/month (regular) |
| Family Price | R$ 19.90/month or R$ 199/year (6 users) | US$ 1.59/month (promo) or regular (5 users) |
| Payment methods | PIX, boleto, card | International card |
| Price transparency | Fixed price | Variable promotional pricing |
Free Sync Across Devices
RoboForm's free plan is limited to a single device. No sync, no access on phone and computer at the same time. In practice, this makes the Free plan nearly unusable.
OneckPass Free includes sync across all devices from day one. You can use it on your phone, computer and browser extension simultaneously, with 50 items and 2 vaults.
Sync is not a luxury: it's a basic necessity. Nobody uses just one device in 2026.
Breach Monitoring
With billions of credentials already exposed in data breaches worldwide, knowing if your passwords have been compromised is essential. OneckPass Premium includes integrated breach monitoring, which alerts you when your credentials appear in leaked databases.
RoboForm does not offer native dark web monitoring. To check for breaches, you would need to use external tools.
Modern Interface vs Legacy Interface
RoboForm carries design decisions from a previous era. Its interface, while functional, is frequently described by users as dated or confusing. Navigation through nested menus, outdated icons and unintuitive flows are recurring criticisms.
OneckPass was built with React and Tauri 2, offering a modern interface with:
- Clean, minimalist design
- Dark mode
- Intuitive navigation
- Responsive on all screens
- Keyboard shortcuts for productivity
A clear interface is not just aesthetic. In a password manager, a confusing interface can lead to errors, such as copying the wrong password, not finding a credential when you need it, or not correctly configuring security options.
What RoboForm Does Well
Acknowledging the competitor's strengths is part of an honest comparison:
- 25 years on the market: longevity that demonstrates reliability
- Form filling: RoboForm's historical specialty is superior to most competitors
- Promotional prices: if you catch the promotion, the first year is very cheap
- Secfault Security audit (2025): recent third-party audit
- Passkeys (2025): support recently added
- Broad platform coverage: available on virtually all operating systems and browsers
Five Reasons to Migrate from RoboForm to OneckPass
1. Superior encryption
Argon2id is objectively superior to PBKDF2-SHA256 in resistance to brute force attacks. This is the most important reason.
2. Predictable BRL pricing
R$ 99/year with no exchange rate variations, no IOF, no price that changes after the promotion ends.
3. Free sync
Use across all your devices at no cost. RoboForm requires a paid plan to sync.
4. Breach monitoring
Know immediately when your credentials appear in compromised databases.
5. Portuguese support
Resolve issues in your language, without communication barriers.
OneckPass Plans for Every Scenario
| Plan | Price | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Free | R$ 0 | Those just starting or with few passwords |
| Premium | R$ 9.90/month or R$ 99/year | Individual users who want complete protection |
| Family | R$ 19.90/month or R$ 199/year | Families of up to 6 people |
| Teams | R$ 19.90/user/month | Teams of 3 to 10 people |
| Business | R$ 29.90/user/month | Companies needing SSO and API |
| Enterprise | Upon request | Organizations with 50+ members |
All plans include AES-256-GCM with Argon2id, access to all platforms and Portuguese support.

How to Migrate from RoboForm to OneckPass
Migration is straightforward:
- Export your data from RoboForm (Options > Data > Export)
- Create your account on OneckPass
- Import the file through the OneckPass import function
- Install on your platforms (extension, mobile app, desktop)
- Check your items and configure your preferences
The entire process takes less than 10 minutes. Your data is re-encrypted with AES-256-GCM and Argon2id as soon as it's imported.
Conclusion
RoboForm has 25 years of history and doesn't become irrelevant overnight. It's a functional product that has served millions of people well.
However, digital security is not a field where "good enough" should be the standard. PBKDF2 is 25 years old and was not designed to resist the hardware available in 2026. Argon2id was created specifically for this scenario.
Beyond encryption, OneckPass offers transparent BRL pricing, free sync, breach monitoring, a modern interface and Portuguese support. These are improvements across all fronts that matter in daily life.
If you're a RoboForm user and are thinking about upgrading your digital security, OneckPass is an alternative that combines the best of modern technology with the practicality the Brazilian market needs.
Upgrade your digital security today. Create your free account on OneckPass and experience Argon2id, multi-device sync and a modern interface. Give your passwords the protection they deserve in 2026.
