1Password
Encrypted vaults for passwords, passkeys and secrets, for people and teams


1/31Password is a password manager that keeps credentials, passkeys, card details, documents and other secrets in end-to-end encrypted vaults, and fills them across desktop apps, mobile and the browser. Watchtower audits what is stored and flags vulnerable, weak and reused passwords along with sites where two-factor authentication or a passkey is available. Business plans add shared vaults with role-based permissions, provisioning through Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo, a developer toolkit and command-line tool for keeping secrets out of code, and Device Trust for checking device health before granting access. Larger organisations are sold SaaS Manager and Privileged Access alongside it, quoted rather than priced publicly.

Experiences vary; while some users report that the software works flawlessly, others describe performance issues including high memory usage in Firefox, freezing during biometric authentication, and delays when opening the unlock dialog.

How does 1Password compare to Bitwarden in terms of pricing and features?
Some users note that Bitwarden is significantly less expensive, with some suggesting it costs roughly half as much as 1Password. While some users find 1Password more polished and appreciate features like the Secret Key, which has no exact equivalent in Bitwarden, others argue that Bitwarden's robust free tier and lower cost make it a more justifiable choice for their needs.

What are the concerns regarding the use of 1Password with AI tools and CLI?
Users have expressed concerns about the security of the CLI, specifically regarding the level of access it requires. However, others point out that the CLI allows for secure secret injection where the AI does not see the secret itself, as the process requires explicit user authentication and keeps secrets out of memory and environment variables.

What people are saying about 1Password
38% negative“Basically, sometimes when I log in to a website using 1Password, the extension (both Firefox extension on windows and iOs on Safari) offer to update my log in info. I accept but next time I go to log in to that website, not all the information is auto loaded. It sometimes creates second or third log ins within the app.”
“If you have been using 1Password, you also have the “Password History” it keeps. I use 1Password for Business at work, and it has the history of all the passwords I have used on my accounts there for the last 4 years, and I have to change them every 70 days, so it has my last 20-25 in the history.”
“Granted, you’re posting in 1Password which has its Watchtower feature (I can’t remember which services it uses behind the scenes).”
“Funnily it's one of the headline AI features in Apple's own Passwords app in the recent release (not sure if ios or macos), so I suspect that 1Password will soon add it, in order "to compete". I am planning to promptly disable it if/when they do.”
“Doesn’t help me, as use 1Password for password management.”
“watchtower can show you where you’re reusing a password, but 1password can’t bulk-change it across sites, so you’ll have to update each login manually with the generator”
“You can run down the list in 1Password, go to each site in turn, and have it generate a new password. There’s no way I’d risk anything that did more than that.”
“That startup setting is weirdly named, but disabling it is the correct fix since 1Password still starts in the tray and only asks to unlock when you actually use it.”
“I have been using 1Password for years and I have no complaints about the product itself. The price is the reason that makes me consider other options.”
“Search for the password in 1Password. See which sites you currently use it on.”
“I would like it to help me find all the places where I use a particular password and, if possible, automaticaly change the pasword on those sites to something else.”
“I'm new to 1Password. I moved from paid Bitwarden to 1Password 5-6 months ago. I took the monthly plan and still haven't decided whether I should stay with 1Password.”
“Funny how 1 password has: Inconsistent Autofill: Frequent complaints on public forums cite persistent issues with browser extension inline prompts failing to trigger, failing to detect custom multi-step login forms, or aggressively cluttering non-password form fields.”
“yeah, 1password generally matches the hostname and ignores the port, so separate entries on the same server won’t reliably get picked based on which port you’re on; different subdomains is the least”
“I haven't treid 1pass, but if someone told me it had a better UI, richer features and more stable behavior, I wouldn't be suprised.”
“Back to 1password”
“1password takes control of those for you and provides you with documentation and support.”
“When you cancel your subscription they don’t delete your data. It should still be available in a read-only format. If you did in fact delete it vs canceling, they still keep a restorable copy for 30 days.”
“I was trying to downgrade my Family plan to Individual. Removed all other members so I was the only one left, but the downgrade option still wasn't showing up. So I went into Settings and clicked "Delete Family Account," thinking that would unlock the Individual downgrade option. Instead it deleted my entire account, vault data and all.”
“The startup setting in the 1Password app should be labeled better (it is not the same setting as the Windows startup setting as the wording implies). I thought it was a bug.”
“I would prefer 1Password on Windows to open minimised to the notification area instead of appearing and prompting me to unlock it, I will open it and unlock it when I need to use it. This is how it already works on macOS, it opens to the menu bar and doesn't appear as a window until you click it.”
“I don't want 1Password to go down the Proton route, doing too many things half-assed.”
“The "secure notes" feature inside 1 password been working amazing for me.”
“1Password (and Asterex) has a feature "nearby" where it presents passwords or anything used upon location, You can adjust the distance.”
“if it’s a company-managed device, assume cortex xdr can see anything available to the system while 1password is unlocked, regardless of the vault file itself staying encrypted”
