I seek free software for Windows 10 OS, with the following features for IE and Chrome and Firefox:
automatically completing forms and fields;
saving passwords.
I can't use Roboform anymore, as it's expensive. What alternatives are there?

for security reasons i would strongly advise against web-based services to store your secret passwords!
instead i would highly recommend a local installed open source software and just sync your encrypted passwords across your devices via any sync-service...
as specific software i can recommend KeePassXC (a fork of KeePassX) with several good features:
- it is free as in beer and speech
- available cross-platform for Windows, MacOS and Linux
- auto-type (including TOTP) on all supported platforms
- import-function
- password- & passphrase-generator (with strength-meter)
- for the database-files it uses the KDBX-format from KeePass
With its countless ports (even for Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, BlackBerry, etc.) you are platform independent and don't have to hand over your passwords to a cloud service.

Good advice concerning passwords (I'd never ever store those with some "cloud service"). But what about "form filling"? To my knowledge, KeePass (in whichever flavor) doesn't feature that.– IzzyCommented Apr 16, 2018 at 21:52

@Izzy well... you can a kind of work around it with Custom Entries for Autotype and setup two or more window-titles (with corresponding sequences) for autotype. - for sure you have to set this up for every form, but i'm not sure if this is also necessary with other form-fillers.

OK, so OP might better ask a separate question for that. +1 here meanwhile ;)– IzzyCommented Apr 19, 2018 at 5:50
I know you might be hesitant to sync your passwords and form fills with a cloud service, but if it helps you feel better if the service is open-source and constantly being updated, I would check out Bitwarden. It's free unless you want a little storage space for important files along with its other capabilities, and if you decide you want that, it's only $10/year. You can learn more at http://bitwarden.com/. Also, LastPass (http://lastpass.com/) has a really good free plan. That's what I use since Bitwarden didn't have some of the cool features LastPass has.
Enpass is free for all desktop OS though its mobile (Android/iOS) versions are freemium.
