RoboForm for Business policies are designed to customize RoboForm features and settings according to company-specific needs. RoboForm policies are deployed via the RoboForm online management console. With RoboForm for Business Policies, companies are empowered to customize their RoboForm for Business accounts assigned to users, ensuring all organizational needs and security regulations are met.
2) Who can use RoboForm policies?
RoboForm policies are available only for RoboForm for Business accounts. RoboForm policies cannot be deployed or enforced on consumer-grade accounts. RoboForm policies are also available during free trial.
