Overview

What is 1Password?

Daily use across devices

Once set up, 1Password feels quickest in the browser: unlock the extension, fill a login, and continue working. The desktop and mobile apps handle secure notes, payment cards, identities, documents, software licenses, and custom fields without forcing everything into a password-shaped record.

Its account design adds a Secret Key alongside the account password. This strengthens protection but makes the Emergency Kit worth storing carefully. Recovery is easier in family and workplace accounts, where an organizer or administrator can help restore access.

Plans and account model

There is no permanent free plan. Personal subscriptions cover one user, while Families adds shared access and recovery tools. Business tiers introduce policy controls, activity reporting, identity-provider connections, and employee provisioning. The service is built around hosted accounts, so people wanting local-only vaults or a one-time license will need another option.
