Is it the right pick for you, though? I took a long, hard look at 1Password to see how it works and if it stands up to the competition.<\/p>\n<p>The short answer is that 1Password is one of the best password managers out there, maybe even the best. Though it could be a smidge cheaper and there are some small usability issues, overall it\u2019s a solid password manager and is almost guaranteed to keep your online accounts safe.

However, since most of those issues exist because they\u2019re part of 1Password\u2019s security systems, they\u2019re an unavoidable evil; all password managers have these issues to some extent.

The desktop and web clients are practically the same and serve as a kind of nerve center for 1Password. It\u2019s here where you get an overview of all the passwords you have, for example, and where you can organize them to your liking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-872429\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1password-web-client.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"1Password web client\" width=\"1000\" height=\"572\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This may actually be 1Password\u2019s biggest strength, the ability to organize and file all your accounts. For example, since I review a <i>lot<\/i> of software, I have accounts coming out my ears; I even have multiple accounts for some providers. With 1Password, I can tag all of them as relevant to my business or another entity and leave everything else as personal, entertainment, or whatever. It\u2019s a good system.<\/p>\n<p>That said, as nice as having everything organized, actually doing it is another matter. For example, to delete an entry, you need to first open up the edit screen and then find the delete button. To add or remove tags, you need to type the name out, which feels pretty outdated.<\/p>\n<p>It gets annoying when you have more than one or two entries you want to edit and it feels like an issue that would be pretty easy to fix. That said, the tags 1Password assigns automatically do work quite well, so you\u2019ll be doing less tweaking than you think.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saving_and_Filling_Out_Passwords\"><\/span>Saving and Filling Out Passwords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>However, the web client is probably where you\u2019ll spend the least amount of your time. You\u2019ll interact with 1Password mainly through the web extension, where you can quickly access your passwords while browsing. Opening up the extension is as simple as clicking the icon at the top of your browser\u2019s screen or hitting a hotkey combination.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-872423\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1password-extension-view.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"1Password's browser extension\" width=\"599\" height=\"449\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This is a much simpler view and won\u2019t allow you to edit or alter any entries. Just add them and fill them out. This is where another small crease appears in 1Password\u2019s otherwise ironed exterior: The automatic saving and filling out of passwords doesn\u2019t work great.<\/p>\n<p>For example, to save a password you just entered in a site, you need to have already unlocked 1Password. More than once, while creating a new account somewhere, I realized I had to access 1Password or not have its password generator show up. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/240255\/password-managers-compared-lastpass-vs-keepass-vs-dashlane-vs-1password\/\">Compared to other password managers and how smoothly they handle this, it gets a little tiring, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>Filling out passwords is a bit smoother: if you\u2019re on a site 1Password recognizes, you\u2019ll get a prompt to have 1Password fill in your credentials. You\u2019ll have to unlock it first, and the program takes it from there. On mobile, you\u2019ll have to first activate the 1Password app before it prompts you, so keep that in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Though I understand that this cumbersome process exists to keep your accounts safe, I can\u2019t escape the nagging feeling it could be smoothed out a little. For example, when you start a browser session, you could get a reminder that you should unlock 1Password. While I appreciate 1Password\u2019s dedication to security, I doubt most of us will lose control over our laptop mid-session.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the overall experience using 1Password is good: most of the issues described above are no more than minor irritants, and I\u2019d rather have an overzealous password manager than one that sacrifices security for comfort\u2014LastPass once again springs to mind. And while not recommended, you can go into the password manager\u2019s settings and extend how long the app or extension will stay unlocked.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_1Password_Cost\"><\/span>How Much Does 1Password Cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A slightly more serious issue is 1Password\u2019s price, which is a bit higher than the rest of the market. It\u2019s not a grievous amount, but considering you can also use a free password manager like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/718270\/bitwarden-vs.-keepass-which-is-the-best-open-source-password-manager\/\">KeePass or Bitwarden, it feels a bit high. 1Password is one of the few services not to have a free plan, but all its offerings come with a free 14-day trial, so you\u2019re not jumping in blind.<\/p>\n<p>You have a few plans to choose from. For regular users, there\u2019s the Personal and Family plans. At $36 per year, the Personal plan is a bit pricey. For example, Keeper is only $30 per year, and Dashlane is only a few dollars more than that. Still, it\u2019s not a huge difference, and a few bucks per year isn\u2019t enough to balk at.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-872427\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1password-pricing-personal.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"1Password pricing for personal plans\" width=\"1000\" height=\"483\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Family plan, however, is priced a lot better. At just $60 per year for five people, it shares its price with most major password managers while offering a better product. Since it links all the accounts used by the people that are on the plan, you may not want to share it with just anybody, but it\u2019s a great way to keep track of everybody\u2019s accounts,especially for families with kids.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1Password_Business_Plans\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">1Password Business Plans<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>1Password also offers plans for businesses, which operate on the same principle as the Family plan, but just for much larger groups of people and likely without any Netflix logins and the like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-872422\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1password-business-pricing.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"1Password business plans pricing\" width=\"1000\" height=\"509\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Teams Starter Pack is a great option here: at $240 per year for 10 people, it\u2019s one of the cheapest options on the market. The regular Business plan, though, doesn\u2019t seem as great value at $96 per year per user. Still, its advanced features may be just the ticket for the right business.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_1Password_Safe\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Is 1Password Safe?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Security-wise, 1Password seems like it has its act together. It has a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=e7eab128eb8d1c53e14db14f4c632447&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2F1password.com%2Fsecurity%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">full page on its site<\/a> dedicated to explaining how its security works, but the upshot is that it uses advanced encryption to keep hackers away from your passwords.<\/p>\n<p>However, this wouldn\u2019t really set 1Password apart since any service worth its salt promises this type of security. In fact, you could go so far as to say the real danger isn\u2019t hackers trying to bruteforce a password vault, but rather the access points for those vaults. In other words, you and I are the ones more likely to foul up than 1Password.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent this, 1Password has a few failsafes in place. For one, your master password, the one you use to access 1Password itself, isn\u2019t stored anywhere. Every time you need 1Password, you will have to enter it again\u2014or every few hours at least; my experience says it\u2019s 1-2 hours before you need to enter it again.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned earlier, this can get a little annoying, but that\u2019s the price of safety. Many other password managers or built-in system keyrings will let you log in automatically, negating the safety password managers offer. After all, if the system is wide open like that, anybody who steals your laptop or phone will automatically have access to your passwords.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_It_Secret_Keep_It_Safe\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Keep It Secret, Keep It Safe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The second measure 1Password has in place is a so-called secret key. This key is an extra password that you need whenever you install 1Password on a new device. You\u2019re given this on signup in an official looking document that you need to store somewhere safely; you may even consider printing it out and hiding it somewhere.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you can look up your secret key in an existing 1Password install at any time, so as long as you never wipe all your devices at the same time, you should be okay. For example, when I installed 1Password on a new laptop, I got the secret key from my Android app.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watchtower\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Watchtower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another nifty feature is Watchtower, which tracks your accounts to see if any have been breached, which is nice, as well as alerting you to any weak or vulnerable passwords you may have. This is what my report looks like:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-872428\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/1password-watchtower.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"1Password Watchtower report\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Before, I had two passwords in the red, which I quickly fixed. Though other password managers offer something along the same lines, I like how 1Password presents this information. It makes it much easier to see the issues and which need dealing with first.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Sign_Up_for_1Password\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">Should You Sign Up for 1Password?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>1Password is a solid password manager for just about anybody. Though it\u2019s not perfect, it\u2019s small annoyances are exactly that\u2014small. For a reasonable amount of money you get a reliable piece of software that\u2019s pretty easy to use. I recommend anybody in the market for a password manager to check out 1Password\u2019s 14-day free trial.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\n<div class=\"rating\">\nRating: <strong><br \/>9\/10<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"more-info-hover\" data-nosnippet=\"\">?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong class=\"rating-info\" data-nosnippet=\"\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 &#8211; Does not work<\/li>\n<li>2 &#8211; Barely functional<\/li>\n<li>3 &#8211; Severely lacking in most areas<\/li>\n<li>4 &#8211; Functions, but has numerous issues<\/li>\n<li>5 &#8211; Fine yet leaves a lot to be desired<\/li>\n<li>6 &#8211; Good enough to buy on sale<\/li>\n<li>7 &#8211; Great and worth purchasing<\/li>\n<li>8 &#8211; Fantastic, approaching best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>9 &#8211; Best-in-class<\/li>\n<li>10 &#8211; Borderline perfection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<p>Price: <strong><br \/><small class=\"price_starting_at\">Starting At<\/small> $36 per year<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to use<\/li>\n<li>High-end security<\/li>\n<li>Family plan is fantastic value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Some issues with navigation<\/li>\n<li>Personal plan is a bit pricey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
