For your reference, there is no RoboForm Desktop per se. A user can simply turn off Sync or not. When using the Desktop version on your Windows and Mac devices with the Sync turned off, the password manager operates like a no-sync single-device version.  It will not save all your data in the cloud server and can’t synchronize with other devices.

The web filler is excellent with persona information and also handles application passwords much better than Sticky Password, 1Password and other competitors available.

The application will generate a Start Page that allows you to access your most visited sites easily and faster.

Also, the application comes with a password generator that works efficiently by generating a unique and random password.
