Sure enough, there's the master password (see "p" param in form data). I ran the test again, this time watching the network traffic as I entered my master password. They're absolutely adamant that your private master password remains as such, as it's never sent to Siber Systems. A quick Google search revealed an interview with Vadim Maslov, CEO and Founder of Siber Systems, during which he said. Well that's clearly not the case here, so I dived deeper. Paul, we decrypt the data locally, not on the servers. not encrypted! That means they're either storing them in plain text or they're encrypted and the server knows our master password. Hang on, those details are being returned in plain text. So, let's login to the online portal and take a look what's going on in the background. If you believe the sales blurb, you're led to believe that you and you alone know your password. It's absolutely crucial to pick a long, strong master password and most importantly, keep it private. In this case, your master password ** should be** all that stands in the way of someone gaining access to your digital life.

To mitigate this, Roboform uses AES256 encryption unquestionably strong and used as the basis for nearly all password managers today. each one is a potential point of failure. There are mobile apps, desktop apps, USB data silos, cloud storage and online portals. Solid security is a mixture of security & usability a balancing act made ever-more difficult as the attack surface increases. If the vendor describes it as "military grade" or "completely secure", I'll set aside 5 minutes to demonstrate why that's never, ever true. Now, I have a rule when testing password managers. TL DR - Your master password is sent to Siber Systems and the mobile applications are insecure.ĭescribed by its creators, Siber Systems, as "completely secure using military grade encryption", Roboform has been knocking about since 1999.
