Store and manage passwords with 1Password

1Password is a password manager tool that lets you store and sync all your passwords and data across every single device you own or use. You can store your login information, payment details, personal information in 1Password, so you don’t need to remember them yourself. On top of that, 1Password has cross-platform compatibility.

Memorize just one password

Passwords are a vital part of account security. Unfortunately, it’s all too common to use simple and easy-to-remember passwords for all of your accounts. It’s a hassle to generate and remember unique passwords for your social media accounts, bank accounts, and other accounts like online gaming and shopping.

However, these accounts often contain your personal information and can even be linked to your payment details. If anyone gains access, they can steal your data, make purchases under your name, and even lock you out by changing the password and email address. Password managers like 1Password make it easy to keep your passwords secure by hiding them behind one master password.

What is 1Password?

It is an online tool that stores all of your login details and data in one secure place. Instead of remembering usernames and passwords to all of your accounts, you only need to remember your 1Password master password. Everything stored inside is kept safe from hackers and thieves who target poorly protected accounts.

It works with most devices and operating software, like Windows, macOS, iOS, and Linux, and can sync across all of your devices. More than 75,000 companies like IBM, Slack, and Dropbox use 1Password to secure their business and data.

How does 1Password work?

All the information stored in your 1Password account is encrypted using AES 256-encryption, and you’re the only one who can decrypt it and see it. Unlike some other password managers, the company behind the app can’t see your information at all, which means they can’t use it, share it, or sell it.

The importance of passwords

It’s dangerous to use the same password for every site you use. If a hacker can steal or guess your password, they can access your entire online profile. 1Password contains a built-in password generator to create random passwords to give your accounts an extra edge. The password generator uses a mix of cryptography, number generation, and a random number generator to create new passwords. Plus, you can adjust the settings if you need to abide by specific requirements such as length or special symbols.

What features does 1Password have?

The program does more than just store and encrypt your passwords. It has a host of features to increase your online security, useful as an independent user or part of a team.

·        Save and automatically fill in payment details like your credit card information

·        Share login details with team members or family

·        Receive instant updates of password breaches or security bugs

·        Save documents and other copies of vital information in a private vault

·        Automatically remove delicate material when traveling across borders

·        Sync passwords between devices

·        Provide two-factor authentication for websites

1Password for family and work

You can use the app with your family to share login details for shared services like Wi-Fi and Netflix. It’s also an easy way to introduce your family to the importance of security hygiene, especially for younger family members who are beginning to explore the online world. By setting yourself up as the ‘Family Organizer,’ you’ll have admin privileges giving you overall control of the family account.

For work-related tasks, 1Password Business lets companies choose which employees have access to passwords and can access items stored in a Vault, create and manage custom groups with individual permissions and generate reports to gain valuable insights into how your company is utilizing 1Password, and track breached domains and passwords.

How much does 1Password cost?

If you want to use 1Password, you’ll need to choose one of the available subscription plans. However, there’s also a free 2-week trial, so you can decide if you want to pay for the service. The Personal and Family plans are aimed towards personal use, whereas the Team and Business options are targeted towards small teams and businesses. If you’re a large enterprise, you can also request a custom quote.   

How do I use 1Password on iOS?

With 1Password for iOS, you can manage your passwords, payment info, personal data, and more. First, download the app from Apple’s App Store and create your account or sign in if you already have one. Then to start using 1Password and automatically fill in and save your login details, follow these steps.

·        From your iPhone’s home screen, tap the ‘settings’ icon

·        Tap on ‘Passwords,’ and ensure ‘AutoFill Passwords‘ is turned on

·        Tap to select 1Password as the default source

Now you can save and fill in passwords automatically without opening the 1Password app.

Has 1Password ever been hacked?

No, it has never been hacked. Even if they were, your passwords and data would remain safe. Your Master Password and Secret Key are never actually sent to or held by 1Password. If 1Password’s servers were hacked, the attackers still can’t see your password.

1Password also uses encryption, which means only you can read your data. Even if it’s intercepted, you still need your Master Password and Secret Key to decrypt the data no matter where it’s sent to or stored.

What are the alternatives?

There are a number of alternatives to 1Password such as LastPass, Dashlane, Bitwarden, and Keeper. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some tools offer free versions with limited access to features.
