Pro Portable versions available
Pro Sophisticated form fill
In addition to being capable of filling in usernames and passwords even in places other popular password managers tend to fail, RoboForm can also fill in a wide variety of other form fields such as long registration or checkout forms that require personal, credit card, banking and other information.
To enable form fill functionality an identity has to be created and all relevant information supplied. It's possible to use multiple identities and identities created from login credential entries. In case of multiple identities a drop-down will offer choice in which to use.
Pro Adding new passwords and updating existing one's requires little manual work
When logging in a website for the first time, RoboForm will offer to save the login credentials via a pop-up. The pop-up allows creating a new entry or replacing an existing one with the information supplied. And if a password has been changed without updating the entry in RoboForm, the application will offer to update the password next time it's used.
Pro Virtual keyboard support for added security
If worried about keyloggers, you can use a virtual keyboard to log in.
Pro Fingerprint verification
Some fingerprint readers can be set up to be used to access RoboForm instead of a master password.

Pro Safenotes allow saving free-form data
Pro Free tier
Roboform for desktop permits the user one license to install one system for free. Paid version, Roboform Everywhere, offers syncronization across multiple platforms for a yearly subscription fee.
Cons
Con Moderate effect on performance
Kaspersky is not the most lightweight application or as well optimized as applications such as Lookout. Some slowdowns may be experienced using Kaspersky but that may be a necessary sacrifice for Kaspersky's stronger virus detection rate.
Con Awkward and outdated user interface
Navigating the settings menu and other features in Kaspersky's mobile application is an awkward experience even with new redesigns. The application lacks a consistent design and the settings menu especially feels like one of the earlier Android applications designed.
Con Some basic antivirus features available only for paid users
The free version of Kaspersky will not automatically scan new applications after they are downloaded. Cloud enabled protection to react to fast and new threats is also a paid only feature. The paid version of Kaspersky is $14.95 a year.
Con WEAK hashing algorithm (4096 instead of 10,000 iterations)
Weak Hashing algorithm. Roboform only uses 4096 iterations of PBKDF2 with SHA-256, while other password managers use 100,000 iterations. NIST Guidelines require AT LEAST 10,000 iterations of PBKDF2 with SHA-256.
Con Does not help with updating weak and old passwords
You will have to step through the entries yourself.
