What is 1Password and why is it the most-loved password manager?
1Password allows users to remember only one master password. That’s it. You won’t believe the time you’ll save! And it’s all available to you for less than the cost of a monthly Starbucks drink (more on that in a bit). Plus, I love that they offer a browser extension and a phone app so no matter which device you use, you have all your secured information at your fingertips!
As a user, the 1Password system stores all of my other passwords for me in my own personal vault – bank passwords, credit cards, utility accounts, you name it. When I go to log in to one of those accounts, the 1Password browser extension automatically auto-fills the right password for me. It’s pretty awesome how fast I can sign in now! 💻
I used 1Password for an entire year. It saved me time AND a headache!
Here are the top 1Password benefits I found most useful:
1. You can customize your storage & organization with easy-to-use ‘vaults’.
I signed up for a family trial so I could create multiple “vaults”. These are where I can organize and store an unlimited amount of passwords and a total of up to 1GB of personal documents!
I have four vaults and each has different access rights. Some vaults are for my personal and work-related passwords and files, and only I have access to them. Another one is a vault we share, with the passwords to our utility accounts and streaming services.
2. Sharing capabilities with family & friends is easy for them and safe for me.
1Password allows users to share documents or passwords. If I want to share a password with my sister, I can send her a direct link to access the information. The link expires after 7 days (or up to 30 days based on my settings).
The link she receives is just a web copy of my information as of the time I sent it to her. That means if I update my password in the future, she will not see the change and will need to re-request access. 😎
3. And, my favorite benefit of all is their heavily-encrypted security! Even 1Password can’t see my unique key!
Perhaps the biggest benefit of 1Password is its devotion to security. The 1Password team works with the best security experts to make sure their system and its coding are foolproof. All of my information is secure using 256-bit AES encryption.
In fact, my information is end-to-end encrypted. In simple terms, that means my data is turned into a code which makes it difficult for anyone to understand. And because I only interact with the genuine 1Password server, my password can’t be intercepted.
And, all information entered into my 1Password vault is heavily encrypted and only I have the key to decrypt it. Not even 1Password can see my data which means they can’t use, share, or sell it!
Who should use 1Password?
There are various 1Password plans available to fit your needs. They offer plans for individuals, families, teams, and businesses. Pretty much anyone who has several passwords and requires a safe place to store their information can benefit from 1Password!
Plus, families with minor children will appreciate being able to limit access to certain information, like legal documents or credit card numbers, while sharing other data, like the Netflix password.
I’ve only tested out the family trial, however, I can see how this password management system would be excellent for businesses, too. Big or small, any companies that share sensitive information and need various permission levels can do so with ease using 1Password.
And I’m not the only one who thinks so! See what experienced readers have to say about 1Password…
We love one password. We each have a separate vault and then we have a shared vault for joint accounts or things we might need to access for some reason (health insurance for example). Works great on iphones too and is seamless between computer and device. I resisted using it for years because I didn’t understand how easy it would make life. My husband is an IT professional and is a diehard 1pass user. – Annika, Hip Reader
Everyone needs a password keeper!! 1Password is so helpful. We’ve had it for a few years and I couldn’t live without it. All our accounts now have unique passwords and I don’t have to remember them. The best part is both my husband and I have access to them at any time. –Melissa, Hip Reader
Our family has used 1Password for more than four years. We love it! Highly recommend. – Jill, Hip Reader
All in all, would I recommend 1Password?
I definitely think it’s worth the try! Depending on your amount of passwords and your level of encrypted internet activity, some may get more use out of it than others. That’s why they offer it 14 days for FREE so you can test it out to determine if you’d want to continue using this security service.
