How to open RFO file?
The main problem with RoboForm Option Format is that the RFO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RFO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RFO file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install RoboForm for Chrome
The first step is to check if the computer has the RoboForm for Chrome program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RoboForm for Chrome in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RFO files.
Programs to open RFO file
Remember to download programs supporting RFO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RoboForm for Chrome with RFO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RFO file still does not use the RoboForm for Chrome program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RFO file with the RoboForm for Chrome application.
Step 3. Update RoboForm for Chrome to the latest version
If, however, after binding RoboForm for Chrome with RoboForm Option Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Siber Systems, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RFO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RFO file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RFO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RFO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RFO file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RFO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Siber Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RFO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the RFO file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RFO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
