1Password brings together top-notch security with great design. It works as a desktop with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. It also offers an intuitive password sharing capability, which makes it perfect for families, with intuitive sharing options. For free users, 1Password also offers vaults that can be used for both personal and sharing purposes. The Watchtower feature crawls a website to make sure no existing passwords being used are compromised and it also comes with dark web monitoring. Data categorization also lets users store passwords in a very organized way.

1Password doesn’t get in the way, it sits there and wait for your commands. And when you start giving out commands, it is always helpful. A top app!
Well, if there would be one thing to note, it would be the fact that — sometimes — I have to disable and re-enable 1Password in Safari *after an update*, as it can get stuck. However I don’t know if it’s a bug in Catalina or — less probable — in 1Password. So it should be something that I dislike with an asterisk.
I’m trying to use unique, random passwords for each website. As a result, I have achieved a lower attack surface in my online doings.
The tool is very clear and not confusing. It has all the features you need. The support is super fast, super friendly and super fair. :)
Nothing to dislike. All features work as intended.
One place for all password, sharing passwords and sensitive data within the team.
The UI is very simple and intuitive even for non-technical users. I see the main benefit in the ability to generate secure, random, and unique passwords, and then store them securely, and share them with team members. The Watchtower feature which detects weak or reused passwords, and integrates with HaveIBeenPwned, is very nice. Automatically storing password histories and who changed a password makes it easy to audit what happened when, and recover from mistakes. 1Password gets a lot right, and makes it easy to do the right thing with password security.
I wish that as a Team admin, I could customise more of the workings of the tool. It would be great to be able to set a custom idle log-out time for the web app, so that on trusted PCs, the web app doesn't log out a user so quickly. Being able to set a default complexity for the random password generator would be great, as then people would not have to manually change any settings to generate passwords which complied with the company's password rules for length and character choices.
We have a team of around 50 people in IT who need to securely manage more than 2,000 passwords for important systems. Shared vaults in 1Password makes this easy, and thus avoids people storing passwords in text files on their Desktops! The Watchtower feature ensures that people on the team don't get sloppy and reuse passwords, or choose insecure passwords, and this helps us meet the company's security policies.
1Password consistently has some of the best customer services I’ve ever experienced. It makes it easy to share my love of the product. I recently walked my 71-year-old mother through how to use 1Password and although it wasn’t easy it was MUCH easier than I expected and that wouldn’t be true if not for a lot of hard work on the part of the 1password team. As I strive to build products (ReallyGoodEmails.com) I look to companies like theirs for an example.
I think it's a complex system. Not needing passwords at all would be preferred! ha.
Password saving and security.
Manage passwords and other secrets without the risk to lose them when accidents happened Brilliant design which makes it difficult enough to obtain your stored secrets Also a great tool for a family and a small organization
Form filling was a bit less convenient than LastPass But they did improved a few months ago and I am happy with it now
I can fill in passwords on desktop and mobile without having to remember them I would never trust Chrome or any browser specific implementation for password/secret storage
With so many passwords, a manager is a must. 1 Password, despite small annoyances, is the best and most useful.
Mini app is a bit slow to load and synchronization via cloud sometimes takes an inordinate amount of time (hours/days)
Benefits? It's all good.
I've been a satisfied user of 1Password for my family and business for more than 5 years. I've been part of the Betas, testing 1Password for Teams (what eventually became the "Families" and "Business" offerings) and have seen the inner workings. 1Password makes doing the right thing (cybersecurity hygiene) easy to do. It's a successful, secure product made by good people.
It takes some time to get used to how to save and access passwords with 1Password (In particular, creating a new account on mobile), but recent iOS releases have made integrating with 1Password much easier.
1Password helps me generate strong, unique passwords for all of the accounts that I have to manage. I started using a password manager when I first began doing Alliance Management—Too many different passwords for too many different portals. I had a choice: 1. Give them all the same password. 2. Get something else to manage them. I chose option 2 and have never looked back. 1Password keeps all of my information secure, and safely accessible by only the people that I want to share it will. I have accounts for the business to share important passwords with other team members, and for my family to share all of the accounts required to manage a family: banks, school, insurance, etc.
ease of use, suggested passwords, works seamlessly across all my devices, alerts me when passwords are weak or reused.
if not paying attention when changing a password, it is easy to create a duplicate password rather than updating an existing one.
With online data security more important than ever, 1Password allows me to use a different passwords for each program without having to remember them or unsafely write them down.
I love it. Been using it for the last 6 months and never ran into any bugs or issues, It simply works. Kudos to the Engineering, QA and design team. There are only few products that reduce the friction between user and the problem and 1password is one of them. Also as a designer I can assure that the product is well designed on all the platforms. I was worried about the security and privacy of a password manager in general but their overall design and the experience made me feel more secure and I don't worry about it now. Also I really love the simple touch of skeuomorphism in branding as well as product design. Simply beautiful!
TBH nothing much.I switched from Safari to 1Password so there wasn't any way to import saved passwords from Apple Keychain, but I guess it's a restriction from Apple side. I haven't ran into any bugs, issues yet and never needed to contact their support so can't comment on their support service. A
Storing and managing password. Using digital products and memorising password on each of the service was a hassle I faced and after choosing to use 1Password, digital life is much more simpler and awesome. You just have to memorise "1" password.
Cross platform integration - the ease with which I can use 1P on all my devices.
Attempting to disambiguate the various accounts/subscriptions I've had over the years can be excruciating.
It creates secure passwords for all my services, which I no longer have to remember. I'm now using much stronger passwords even for inconsequential logins.
the UI design leaves nothing compromised
that more of my friends aren't already using it.
my clients rely on me to remember their passwords. Ridiculous, but I can succeed with 1Password.
Seamless integration with computer and web Passwords organisation 2FA storage Well designed, intuitive UI
Nothing really stands out. Being a long time user of this software, I had to pay twice due to radical updates. I felt, once was enough.
First of all, security is perfectly managed. You feel that anywhere you are on the web, 1Password is always ready to provide you with the needed support. Every day we step in front of tenths of locked doors while browsing the web, 1Password is the invisible key that opens them all with zero effort.
1) Excellent password handling and automatic, integrated browser interface. 2) Excellent login-credentials handling and browser interface. 3) Works with Chrome and Firefox. (Haven't tried it with Safari. Never use Edge.) 4) Ability to note and track software licenses and related data. 5) Ability to keep credit card data securely in one place and ready to hand. 6) Secure Notes feature keeps sensitive information secure but readily at hand.
1) The big, ugly blemish: If a secure note is long, only part of it will show without switching into Edit mode. In order to see all the note, one must switch to Edit mode. Then one can scroll down to the end. But that leaves the note susceptible to random, unintended changes. Besides, it ought not be necessary. I spoke with a developer rep perhaps two years ago. He said that that was a known bug and was being worked on. It still isn't fixed. 2) In trying to use the 1Password Mini Mac-menubar icon, there is always an initial screen saying to install the 1Password browser extension even if it already is installed. That screen can't be dismissed. It's not possible to access any of the categories in 1Password 7 (logins, secure notes, software licenses, ...). All one can do is click on the settings (gear) icon and click open 1Password 7 application. Even if it's already open, one must still click on open it. Only after that will the menubar icon display the UI. That makes using the menubar icon a nuisance. The initial 'install browser extension' screen should be dismissable at the least and should not appear at all if the extension is already installed. It's just a "Take 1 aspirin and call me tomorrow" pain, but it shouldn't be a pain at all.
I don't use 1Password 7 to generate passwords. I don't like having site passwords that I don't know or can't reconstruct. I do use it to keep a secure note with all my non-standard site login credentials. Whenever I am at a site and can't get the password right, I just open 1Password 7, access the secure note, and look up the password. Of course, that requires manually keeping the note, but that's the way I use 1Password 7 to solve that problem. I do a lot of online shopping. I do not like keeping my credit card data on file with the various sites. I repeatedly use the credit card feature of 1Password 7 when checking out of website stores. I've begun using the software licenses feature to keep track of all software license keys and other related support info. Of course, that means being very consistent and regular about recording the data at the first of each software purchase, but no pain, no gain.
Password management is a tricky beast. The big idea is to make it easy. And yet with the uncountable number of security threats these days, it's practically impossible to make password management an effortless function. I imagine 1Password comes about as close as you can get. It's relatively intuitive. It has great multi-platform usability and provides helpful browser extensions. And I absolutely love how it lets you share passwords when you have a family account. And the developer never stops improving it. It gets better, easier, more functional with every update.
Sometimes I had difficulty telling when a new auto-generated password has been properly saved. But now I know what to do.
I can create and "remember" hugely complex and random passwords with ease across all my devices.
What I love best about 1Password is the implementation of keeping your passwords safe without providing a "back door". This sense of security is everything to me. It is easy to use and the updates are great. The Watchtower feature is awesome at maintaining the security of my passwords and I truly appreciate that! The world changes so much in terms of security, so having a way to keep ahead of the bad actors that wish to steal your identity or passwords. I also love the Travel feature so I can turn off my access and feel safe that my device can't be used to access my life. I love 1Password. My trust is VERY difficult to earn and they have it.
The one thing that I do not love about 1Password is the confusing method of changing your passwords on iOS versus MacOS. There are a number of websites that continue to ask you to change your password every 30 to 90 days. I had a workflow that I use to change my password and sometimes 1Password responds counter to what I expect on iOS. I know its the nature of the different operating systems, but I wish that 1Password would offer the option to save a new password on iOS when I encounter a new site or a site where I change the password; like in macOS. I love in macOS that I have the option to save or update my passwords.
1Password has enabled me to work from anywhere, which is very handy in the era of COVID-19. I can log on to a computer anywhere and still operate if I don't have access to my work computer. I had to continue working from home for about a week without the benefit of my work computer. 1Password enabled me to continue without an interruption by giving me access to all the passwords I use for work. Also, I love the new feature for sharing passwords with family. I have family members that do not use 1Password as much as I do, but require shared passwords fairly often (e.g. Streaming services, etc.). Although we have a shared vault, they don't use it, so being able to send it to them securely is a perfect solutions for us.
This is a great app developed by great people at a great company. I could go on and on about all of the amazing features, but the thing that matters most to me is that from the product to communications to community outreach, the folks at Agile Bits consistently hit the mark. And even in the odd occasions where they don't, they are quick to own any shortcoming and correct it.
With the 1Password7 update it isn't as easy to use the touchbar fingerprint reader to unlock 1Password on my Macbook Pro.
1Password makes it dead-simple to engage in strong security practices. I'm not a security expert but I know enough to take it seriously. 1Password lets me sleep well because it nudges me into better security in a way that makes sense and is easy to incorporate into my workflows. As an example, I recently started using non-text-message 2-factor authentication (because phone numbers, therefore texts, are spoofable) because 1Password's tool is so great. I'd tried before using Google Authenticator and it was to complex to incorporate into my everyday workflow. Even when I had a laptop stolen a few years ago, I had little worry about either the bad guys accessing my accounts or me not being able to.
The password generation tool allows for many different recipes for creating secure passwords. You are also able to create many different kinds of secure credentials, such as for email accounts, credit cards, bank accounts, servers, membership cards and many more, each with their own appropriate fields. There is a tool that monitors when breaches occur and informs you of vulnerable accounts and passwords. It also will inform you if you have duplicated passwords on different accounts. Obviously having unique passwords per entity is the the benefit of using 1Password.
It is more expensive than some other tools, but the ease of management and the high level of security is worth the cost.
We needed unique passwords for every site, and to be able to share some of them with different groups. 1Password made this simple.
I can assuredly save all of my passwords, credit card details, software serial numbers and product codes or any other information I wish to save securely, with absolute confidence.
There isn't anything I dislike about 1Password. It's one of the very first apps I install on all of my devices.
I can generate a unique and secure password for every login I require. I only have to remember one password, my master password and thus my online life is secure.
I've been a fan of 1Password in my personal life since 1.0. Now I'm Founder and CEO of a 50 person open source medical device company. We rely on 1Password for keeping us secure and safe.
1Password can be intimidating for non-technical folks. It's very full-featured, but that sometimes means there are many ways to do things, which can confuse some folks.
We use 1Passwords for passwords (duh). We use it for QA test accounts, for clinical study accounts, for server keys, and for safely storing critical financial information. Having cloud, desktop and mobile clients seamlessly in sync is key.
I love that it works seamlessly between desktop and mobile.
There have been some issues trying to install the app on Android (specifically Google Pixel 3a)
One location for all passwords with random password generation (both memorable and non-memorable) to ensure passwords are not reused.
