About the Security Center

1. How to Access the Security Center
2. Security Center Overview

The Security Center is a tool that allows you to evaluate the strength of your passwords. 

Your Security Score is calculated based on the following factors:

• Number of reused passwords
• Number of duplicated Logins (username and password combinations)
• Strength of individual passwords 

How to Access the Security Center

On Windows and Mac: 

1) Open your browser and click the RoboForm extension. Then, click the "House" icon in the upper left corner.

 

2) You will be brought to the Start Page. To access the Security Center from the Start Page, click "Security Center" in the bottom left corner.

 

On iOS:

Open the RoboForm app. Then, tap "Tools" in the bottom right, and then tap the "Security Center" option.

 

On Android:

Open the RoboForm app. Then, tap "Tools" in the bottom right, and then tap the "Security Center" option.

 

Security Center Overview

Once in the Security Center, you will see your Security Score displayed at the top of the window, with the individual password breakdown below. Clicking "Show more" beneath your Security Score will present you with a more detailed breakdown of the strength of your passwords.

Password strength for individual passwords is calculated using an algorithm based on zxcvbn. Logins can be sorted based on Name, Password Strength, or Age (starting with when they were stored in RoboForm).

NOTE: Sorting by age is only possible in the Weak, Reused, and All tabs.

 

When you first open the Security Center, you will be on the Compromised Tab. To update a Compromised Login, or to increase a weak password’s individual strength and, by extension, the overall Security Score, hover your mouse over a Login and click the "Log In" (play button) button which will appear. Then, use the site’s procedure to update the password using the RoboForm Password Generator. Once saved in RoboForm, the Security Center will recalculate the score.

Compromised

The Compromised tab contains Logins with passwords that have previously been seen in a documented data breach where hackers released the stolen data publicly or sold it on the dark web. To learn more about Compromised Passwords and what to do if you see them, click here.

 

Weak

The Weak tab contains Logins with passwords which have a weak password strength score. We recommend that you update these passwords using the RoboForm Password Generator. To read our tutorial on using the RoboForm Password Generator, click here.

 

While viewing a Login with a password rated as Weak, you can view an explanation on why it was rated that way.

 

Reused

The Reused tab contains Logins with passwords you have reused multiple times. These passwords are grouped together based on their respective Logins.

 

All

The All tab contains all of your RoboForm Logins along with their Password Strength and Age.

 

Complete Duplicates

The Complete Duplicates tab contains Logins which have an identical username and password. The Security Center makes finding and deleting them a one-step process.

 

Excluded

The Excluded tab contains Logins which you have selected to be excluded from your Security Score calculation. To learn how to exclude a Login from your Security Score, click here.
