How to Get the Most Out of 1Password

By Thorin Klosowski

Everyone needs a password manager , but that doesn’t mean getting started with one isn’t intimidating. 1Password has long been one of our favorite password managers , but it can be a bit baffling to use at first. And even if you’ve been using it for years, as I have, you may have never bothered to find uses for all the other little features it offers, including secure notes and documents.

The research

How to set up 1password on your computer, browser, and phone, start browsing and fix your crummy passwords, memorize the quick access keyboard shortcut, make the most out of watchtower, use tags to organize (and get rid of the two-factor authentication warning), don’t forget about secure notes, memberships, documents, and software licenses, other extra features worth exploring.

Installing 1Password works differently than for most software, and its security features mean you have to take a couple more steps than usual. But once you’ve set it up, every password for every online account you have will be unique and nearly impossible to guess, making your online life more secure.

Step 1: Create a 1Password account with a strong master password

Before you do anything else, you need to create a 1Password account . 1Password isn’t free; it’s $36 a year, but it’s worth that investment if you can afford it. Some of the tips we’re including below are applicable to other password managers, such as Bitwarden , which is free, but in those cases you’ll have to poke around to find some of their different options.

When you create your account, take some time to create a good strong password. As 1Password’s name suggests, this is the only password you’ll need to remember from here on out. We have some tips for creating a strong password .

1Password gives you an Emergency Kit that includes a place to write down your password as well as your “secret key,” which you use to link your account to the 1Password applications (more on that below). Print this out and store it somewhere secure in your house, such as a fireproof safe . If you don’t have a printer, write down the secret key number and password and store that note in a secure place. As tempting as it may be to store the information online in a service like Dropbox or Google Drive, doing so would defeat the purpose of a secure emergency kit since your information is at risk if that service gets hacked.

Step 2: Install the desktop app and browser extensions on Windows or Mac

Unlike most password managers, 1Password has both a desktop application and browser extensions. You should install both.

• Download and install the Windows or Mac application.
• In your web browser, head to the 1Password website and log in to your account. Click Get the Apps and then the Add your account directly button. If prompted, select the 1Password app.
• Enter your master password. The desktop app is now set up and ready to use.
• Head back to the “Get the Apps” screen in your browser, and you’ll see a link to the browser extension for the browser you’re using (if you use Safari on Mac, you can skip this step ). Click the link to download and install the extension. If you use several browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, you’ll need to repeat this process for each browser.

You now have access to 1Password both in your browser and through the desktop application.

Step 3: Install the mobile app and enable password form filling

Finally, it’s time to get 1Password running on your phone or tablet. To make the most of it, you need to take one more step beyond just installing the app.

• Download the Android or iPhone app.
• Log in to your account. Then, either use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code on the Emergency Kit or manually type in the secret key.
• Finally, enable autofill passwords so that your phone can pull up the password manager. On Android, open 1Password and then tap Settings > Autofill and enable it. On iPhone, you do this in the operating system’s Settings app. Tap Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Autofill Passwords, and on the 1Password entry, enable Allow filling from . You should also disable Keychain if it’s enabled. On iPad, consider enabling the Safari extension instead of Autofill for a more desktop-like experience.

From now on, when you need to log in to an account in a browser or app, you’ll see a password prompt pop up when you tap the login details.

Now that you’ve set up 1Password, you can start browsing. Each time you sign in to an account, take an extra couple of minutes to find the site’s “change password” page and use 1Password to make your password stronger.

As an example, here’s how this works for a Google account:

• Log in to your Google account using your current password.
• Head to the Google account page and select the Security tab.
• Click Password and enter your password again.
• On the new-password page, 1Password should pop up with a suggested password. Click on this, and it’ll populate and save the password. If the window doesn’t pop up, you can click the 1Password icon in the browser, click the + button, and select Password generator.

That’s it—now you have a strong, unique password that’s saved in 1Password so you don’t have to remember it. This process is tedious for the first week or so of using a password manager. But trust me, it’s worth the hassle. The process not only makes your online accounts much more secure but also saves time in the long run, as you won’t have to type out passwords as often. We suggest starting by strengthening the passwords on your most important accounts, including platform-specific accounts (such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft), your email, every social media account you have, and bank accounts.

Some websites have specific password rules, like requiring “one number, one capital letter, and one symbol,” and for these you may have to tweak the password generator (1Password attempts to automatically understand these rules, but it doesn’t always work). Instead of using the autofill recommended when creating a new account, click the 1Password browser extension icon, then the “+” sign, and select Password Generator. Select the Random Password dropdown and you can change different factors to create a password that meets a site’s requirements.

With the release of 1Password 8, the company introduced a new keyboard shortcut to its desktop app that pulls up Quick Access, a floating panel that suggests login details no matter what window you have open, including web browsers and desktop apps (like Steam or the Mac App Store). Through this feature, 1Password can now fill passwords everywhere on your computer just as it does on your phone.

• On Windows, the default keyboard shortcut is Control + Shift + Space.
• On Mac, the default keyboard shortcut is Command + Shift + Space.

Filling passwords in desktop apps is useful enough on its own, but Quick Access can also function as a “launcher” of sorts, too. Press the keyboard shortcut, type the name of a website where you have a login, and you can then open it in a new tab and log right in.

Watchtower is 1Password’s password-auditing feature, and it’s worth keeping an eye on after you’ve gone through the meticulous process of strengthening all your passwords. You can find it in the sidebar of the 1Password desktop app.

Start by making sure you have no weak and reused passwords. If you didn’t change your passwords in the step above and instead added passwords for all your accounts, you may find some passwords listed here. If you do, change those passwords.

You’ll also get a Watchtower score, which is meant to help guide you toward improving passwords through various means . This includes a list of any accounts stored in 1Password that support two-factor authentication. As the name suggests, two-factor authentication sets up an online account so that logging in requires two forms of identification. In most cases, those two forms include your password and a separate code that’s generated either in an app like Authy , a physical security key , an email, or an SMS message. Take the time to set up two-factor authentication for any accounts 1Password lists in this window. We strongly recommend setting up two-factor authentication for your 1Password account as well.

Even if all your passwords are strong and unique, and you’ve enabled two-factor authentication everywhere you can, Watchtower serves yet another purpose: alerting you to compromised accounts. 1Password searches for known security breaches and on Have I Been Pwned , a service that checks for account details in data breaches. If any account details show up here, change your password.

Initially, I didn’t find the tagging system in 1Password useful, instead relying on its automatically generated tags and using the search to find what I needed. But over the years I’ve found that tags have helped my workflow in a few ways.

For example, I tag anything related to work accounts as “work” and any service I’m trying as “trial.” This setup makes it easy for me to go back and delete the passwords or accounts later.

I also tag anything that’s subscription-based with the credit card attached to that subscription. This way, when the card expires, I can easily see which services use that card so that I can update them.

Aside from passwords, I also use 1Password as a repository for any other personally identifiable information I’ve needed on the go. 1Password encrypts everything, which means it’s a much more secure place to store information than, say, a notes app or Dropbox. If you have a family plan, it’s also a great way to share certain details with family members.

I use 1Password for everything I may need to access remotely in an emergency and anything I’m not comfortable storing in cloud storage. This list includes:

• TSA PreCheck and airline miles numbers
• copies of important documents from a safe, including powers of attorney, insurance policies, and the like
• automobile information, such as the VIN and license plate numbers
• scans of passports or IDs
• passcodes for lockboxes or combination locks
• serial numbers for devices, music gear, bikes, and other equipment
• gift card numbers

I also use 1Password to store the handful of software licenses I have, plus server access details and any specific setup information I might have for apps, such as email login setup instructions. You can store any of these details in a shared vault.

Set up correctly, 1Password can be a repository of not just your passwords but your entire digital identity. With its shared vaults, it’s also a secure and simple way to share private documents with other members of your household.

1Password has a handful of niche features that are useful in certain situations, including online shopping, crossing international borders, or integration for Mac (and Apple Watch):

• Privacy.com integration : 1Password includes optional support for Privacy.com credit cards. Privacy cards are virtual credit cards you can generate for free, and are useful for recurring subscriptions that are potentially difficult to cancel, or when you’re ordering from a web store that feels sketchy. You can set up a virtual card so it’s one-time use or has a limited amount of cash on it, like a gift card. You need to make an account at Privacy first, then through Privacy, click Your name > Account and scroll down to the Integrations section to set up 1Password. Once you set up your Privacy account and integrate it with 1Password, you’ll find autofill options to generate cards any time you’re in a card number field of an online shopping cart.
• Biometric unlock with Windows Hello, Touch ID, or an Apple Watch: If you have a computer that has some sort of biometric login, such as Touch ID on a Mac or Windows Hello on a Windows computer, you can use that to log in to 1Password without typing in your password every time. In the Windows app, click 1Password > Settings, select Security, and click Allow Windows Hello to Unlock 1Password. In the Mac version, click 1Password > Preferences and select the Security tab; here you can choose Touch ID or Set up Apple Watch.
• Learn when to use Travel Mode : 1Password includes a Travel Mode that removes login information from your devices unless you mark them to do otherwise. This is useful if you’re facing a potential device inspection while traveling. Before you travel, log into your 1Password account from a web browser, click your name, then click My Profile . Click the Travel Mode toggle to enable it, and any accounts not marked as safe for travel will be removed temporarily from all your devices. When you’ve arrived safely at your destination, disable Travel Mode and your accounts will return to your devices.

You might not think to explore the settings and other options inside a password manager, but they can hide a number of new features or fix annoyances you might have, so it’s worth poking through them occasionally.

Safari 13 is awesome, but 1Password 6 users need to upgrade to enjoy it

On Monday, Apple released the macOS Catalina public beta that includes a preview of Safari 13, which is set for release this fall. We’ve discovered there’s lots to love about Safari 13, but we’ve also learned that it will no longer work for customers using 1Password 6.

Those already using 1Password 7 are all set; 1Password 7 is ready for Safari 13, so you won’t miss a beat.

If you’re still using 1Password 6 in Safari, you don’t have to do anything immediately, but you’ll need to take action soon to prevent interruptions to your workflow when Safari 13 arrives.

1Password 7 supports Safari 13

The best way to experience Safari 13 is by using 1Password 7.

1Password 7 is included with every 1Password membership , and contains a ton of new features to help you organize and secure your life. A few highlights:

• Watchtower can now tell you when items you’ve saved in 1Password – like credit cards, driver licenses, and passports – are about to expire. Plus, it can tell you what sites support two-factor authentication, and whether or not you’ve enabled it.
• 1Password mini is smarter, faster, and more helpful than ever. It suggests passwords for the apps on your Mac, not just when you’re browsing the web.
• Everything has been entirely redesigned since 1Password 6, and that doesn’t just mean it looks fresh. The new sidebar makes it easier to switch between vaults and investigate security issues with your logins, and items now display the most important information front and center.

With a whole bunch of new ways to organize your life, 1Password 7 is the perfect companion to the speedy and secure Safari 13. 🙂

For those with a 1Password 6 license, we’re offering you your first 3 months of 1Password Families for free so you can test drive a 1Password membership before Safari 13 lands on your Mac this fall.

Soldiering on with 1Password 6

1Password 6 will continue to work with other browsers. Safari lovers like myself won’t want to hear this one, but if you’re stuck and really can’t upgrade, you can still use 1Password 6 in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi.

What’s changing

In previous versions of Safari, extensions were installed via the Safari Extensions Gallery. In Safari 13, the Safari Extensions Gallery is being replaced with Safari App Extensions.

It’s great Apple is doing this as Safari App Extensions are faster, lighter and more secure. They run through native Mac apps, meaning they put much less strain on memory and CPU performance. Plus, they’re less vulnerable to security exploits like man-in-the-middle attacks. And, as the extensions are bundled right in with the apps you download, you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues or downloading the wrong extension by mistake.

1Password 6 was retired over a year ago and, as an older app, it still relies on an extension from the Safari Extensions Gallery. Safari 13 offers a better browsing experience all around, but to embrace the new, we have to let go of the old.

In addition to its inclusion in macOS Catalina, we expect Safari 13 to also be released as an update for everyone using macOS High Sierra and Mojave, so we’d recommend making plans now as this is very likely to affect you.

We’ll be discussing this change over on our forum , so be sure to join us if you’d like to learn more!

Getting Started with 1Password at Brown

Q. is 1password mandatory.

A. 1Password is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. If you are unable to remember strong, unique passwords for every online account, then we strongly encourage the use of a password manager and our recommendation is 1Password due to its excellent security and helpful features. In today's technical environments, it's likely you have more passwords than you can remember. If this is you, then you should be using a password manager that can create and track complex passwords.

Q. Is there a risk to putting all your passwords in one place?

A. While leveraging a password manager does "put all of your eggs in one basket", the reward outweighs the risk. 1Password never has a decrypted version of any data. The only place the passwords are accessible in a usable form is on your machine. In order to gain this access, we require a Master Password, two-step authentication, and your account Secret Key when logging in on a new device. Brown performs an annual security review of the vendor to make sure that their security meets Brown requirements. Here's what 1Password says about their security model .

Q. How do I set up my 1Password Enterprise account?

A. Faculty and staff will be automatically enrolled in 1Password Enterprise and will receive an invitation email to set up their account. 1Password Enterprise is not available for students, clinical faculty, medical residents, or alumni at this time. Follow the instructions in the email to set up your account. At the end of the setup process, you will be presented with a digital Emergency Recovery Kit.

It is important for you to save the Emergency Recovery Kit in a secure location. 1Password suggests that you store your Emergency Recovery Kit in physical and digital storage. Examples of physical storage include printing out the Emergency Recovery Kit and storing it with other important documents, such as your passport or birth certificate. Regarding digital storage, 1Password suggests storing your Emergency Recovery Kit in a password-protected folder and storing that folder on a flash drive. For more information on securely storing your Emergency Recovery Kit, please refer to Where to store your 1Password Emergency Kit .

Q. How does the 1Password Families benefit work, and with whom can I share it with? Can I keep it after I leave Brown?

A. Brown has partnered with 1Password to provide 1Password Families at no cost for faculty and staff. This is a personal 1Password account granted to you that also includes five (5) additional 1Password licenses. Once set up as a Family Manager, you can invite up to 5 additional family members or friends to join your plan through your family Dashboard so they can also use 1Password to keep their digital lives safe.

If you leave Brown, you have a few options with regard to keeping your family account. You can either transfer ownership of the family account to another member of the family or downgrade the account to an individual plan. If you choose to downgrade to an individual plan, any members you previously invited to the family account will lose access to the shared vaults and other family features. You would need to either create your own individual accounts or join another family account if invited.

For more information on how to take advantage of 1Password Families please reference the article Activate 1Password Families  

Q. How does 1Password Enterprise compare to 1Password Families?

1Password Enterprise Account

Available to currently employed faculty and staff.

Brown controls minimum security requirements, i.e. required two-step authentication.

Brown provides support, i.e., Master Password recovery.

You lose access to your Enterprise account when your employment with Brown ends.

To be used for Brown-related passwords and secrets (see 1Password Families for accounts appropriate to use for personal passwords and secrets).

1Password Families Account

Available to currently employed Faculty and Staff. For more information, please refer to the article Activate 1Password Families .

Can be used to store personal passwords.

Brown cannot see nor recover these passwords.

1Password provides support.

Upon the end of your employment with Brown, you get to keep your passwords and can purchase yearly renewals if desired. Refer to 1Password's website for pricing.

Q. What data does Brown have access to in 1Password Enterprise?

A. Neither 1Password nor Brown can access any passwords found in your employee vault. Administrators only have access if they are added as members to a shared vault. 

Q. How do I keep my work (Enterprise) and my personal (Families) 1Password vaults separate?

A. Create two 1Password accounts with separate emails: one for work, the other for personal use. Your personal 1Password Families account provides a 1Password vault where you can store all your personal accounts, passwords, credit card information, and more.

One way to maintain separation between 1Password Families/personal and 1Password Enterprise/work accounts is to use different browsers for each account. You can also do this with different browser profiles (within the same browser) to manage different accounts with different email addresses. Here are instructions for the three top browsers:

Chrome: Add a person or profile in Chrome

Firefox: Multiple Profiles

Edge: Sign in and create multiple profiles in Microsoft Edge

For instructions on how to set up a 1Password Families Account, please refer to the “ Activate 1Password Families ” article. 

Read more about your Families account at Claiming your 1Password Families as a perk account .      

Q. Can Brown clinical faculty use 1Password? How about medical residents?

A. Clinical faculty and medical residents do not have access to 1Password Enterprise at this time.

Q. What if I already have a personal 1Password account with my Brown email?

A. If you already have a 1Password account using your Brown email address, it's very important that you migrate all your personal items out of your personal account before setting up your 1Password Enterprise account. If you set up your 1Password Enterprise account without migrating your personal items out of the personal account, several scenarios could unfold:

Duplicate Accounts: You may end up with two separate 1Password accounts - your personal account and the organizational account linked to your Brown email address. This can lead to confusion as you'll need to manage two separate sets of passwords and data.

Loss of Data Access: Without migrating the content of your personal vault, you risk losing access to any passwords or sensitive information stored exclusively there. This could be problematic if you rely on that information regularly.

Lengthy Manual Transfer: You may still be able to manually transfer the data from your personal vault to your Brown 1Password Enterprise account after joining the organization. However, this process can be time-consuming and might require careful attention to ensure all important data is transferred accurately.

Q. What happens to my 1Password account when I leave Brown?

A. Faculty and staff will lose access to their Enterprise Account, but will still have access to their Families Account if they decide to pay for the service.

You can find more information and help articles about Families accounts at 1Password support .  

Q. I’m leaving Brown University and want to hand off some passwords. What should I do?

A. If you are leaving Brown University and have important passwords saved that pertain to your role, it’s very important that they are handed off before leaving Brown. The process of handing over passwords to a coworker is easy. 1Password suggests you create a shared vault with whoever you will hand over the necessary passwords to. Once you’ve created the shared vault you can move the item from your employee vault into the shared vault. To do this on the desktop app, you can click and drag the item from your employee vault to the desired shared vault. To move an item in the web browser, navigate to the item and under the item title click the Share button. Within the share menu click Move/Copy and select the vault you would like to move the items to. For more information on sharing items please refer to the Move or copy items article.

Q. What do I need to do to maintain my 1Password Families account after leaving Brown?

A. Faculty and staff can renew their 1Password Families account after leaving Brown. Please refer to 1Password's website for pricing .

1Password Basics

Q. i'm trying to activate my new account, but i think i lost the email. what should i be looking for what if i can't find it or it has lapsed.

A. Your invitation will have been sent by 1Password with the subject "Activate your 1Password account." 

If you cannot find your invitation, or you've tried and it has expired, contact the OIT Service Center by submitting a ticket or emailing us at [email protected] .

Q. How do I change/reset my Master Password?

A. You can reset your Master Password by navigating to your 1Password profile and following the steps below: 

Log into brownuniversity.1password.com .

Click on your name in the top right-hand corner, then click My Profile.

Select Change Password on the left-hand sidebar and follow the on-screen instructions.

A new Emergency Recovery Kit will be generated. Download the Emergency Recovery Kit, open it, fill out the relevant information, and save it to a secure location.

A congratulatory message will be displayed after you have successfully completed the changes.

Since you have changed your password, you will now need to log back into the 1Password desktop app with the newly created password.

Lastly, since 1Password is protected with two-step authentication, you will be prompted by Duo to complete authentication and login.

Q. How can I set up a browser extension, desktop application, and mobile app?

A.  For the most seamless experience, it is highly recommended that you install and log in to the 1Password web browser extension and desktop application . Read the article Get to know 1Password in your browser for information on the browser extension. Read the article Get to know 1Password for Windows or Get to know 1Password for Mac for information on downloading the desktop application. Read the article Get to know 1Password for iOS/iPadOS or Get to know 1Password for Android for information on downloading the mobile application. 

Q. How do I import passwords from LastPass?

A. If you are coming to 1Password from another password manager, you may already have spent a considerable amount of time storing your user names, passwords, and other data within that program or web browser. To assist with this transition, you have the ability to import your stored data seamlessly into 1Password through their desktop app. The article Transfer Items from LastPass to 1Password outlines how to export your passwords from LastPass into 1Password. You can also reference their video Import your LastPass data using 1Password's in-app importer .

Q. What happens if I forget my Master Password?

A. If you forget your Master Password for your 1Password Enterprise account, you can reach out to the OIT Service Center for assistance. If you forget your Master Password for your 1Password Families account, you can recover it using your Emergency Recovery Kit .

Q. In what ways does 1Password provide accessible functionality?

A. 1Password has enabled some common accessibility features available in both the web and desktop apps:

Keyboard Navigation: Users can navigate through the application and access its features using only the keyboard without relying on a mouse. This includes using keyboard shortcuts for various actions.

Screen Reader Support: The application is compatible with screen reader software, enabling users with visual impairments to navigate and interact with the interface using screen reader commands.

High Contrast Mode: The application offers a high contrast mode, making it easier for users with low vision to distinguish elements on the screen.

Accessible Form Fields: Form fields and other interactive elements are properly labeled and structured, ensuring they are accessible to users who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation.

Resizable Text and UI Elements: Users can adjust the size of text and UI elements within the application to better suit their preferences and needs.

Color Customization: Users can customize the color scheme or contrast settings of the application to improve readability and usability based on their individual preferences or accessibility needs.

Accessible Error Handling: Error messages and alerts are presented in a clear and accessible manner, providing guidance to users in resolving issues or completing tasks successfully.

Focus Management: Focus is appropriately managed within the application, ensuring that keyboard users can easily identify and navigate to interactive elements.

ARIA Roles and Attributes: The application utilizes ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and attributes to enhance accessibility for screen reader users and assistive technologies.

Responsive Design: The application is designed to be responsive and adaptable to different screen sizes and devices, providing a consistent user experience across desktop and mobile platforms.

For more information regarding accessibility features, please refer to 1Password Commitment Statement regarding accessibility.

Q. What is the Watchtower feature?

A. The Watchtower dashboard serves as your security headquarters, automatically summarizing known breaches or other vulnerabilities. You can also find Watchtower alerts on individual items if there's an issue that you need to address. Within the dashboard, you can:

Update weak and reused passwords.

Assess and improve your overall Security Score.

Monitor your email addresses for involvement in data breaches and get alerts when your sensitive information is compromised.

Access the Security Dashboard and your Security Score by opening your vault, then clicking on Watchtower in the left margin menu of your employee vault. For more information visit watchtower.1password.com .

Q. How do I manage my vault?

A. See the document Get to know 1Password in your browser for information on how to manage your vault.

Q. How can I generate secure passwords?

A. 1Password can be used to both store and generate secure passwords. Generate a secure password by doing any of the following:

Using the in-field icon – Click the Generate Password icon in the Password field.

Using the web browser extension – Click the 1Password icon then click the Menu icon next to "+ New Item", then select Password Generator.

For step-by-step instructions, read Generate a Secure Password.

Q. What is a passkey, and how do I use it? 

A. While passkeys are not currently supported by Brown for Shibboleth authentication, some other websites do support them. Passkeys allow you to create and sign in to online accounts without a password. Unlike traditional passwords, passkeys utilize technology similar to when you visit a secure website. That means every passkey has two parts: a public key and a private key. Together, they keep your accounts secure by allowing websites and apps to check that you are who you say you are.

To use a passkey, find an existing login that now supports passkeys using Watchtower or create a new account on a passkey-supported website . Depending on the website, you may need to create an account with a username and password before creating a passkey. When you choose the option to create a passkey, 1Password will offer to save it. After creating a passkey, the next time you go to a website where you set up the passkey, you will see a prompt in the top right corner asking if you would like to sign in with a passkey. After clicking Sign In, you will immediately sign in to your account without typing a password.   If you would like to read more on passkeys, please refer to the following articles:

The passwordless experience you deserve

Q. How do I securely share a password?

A. You can share a password or other item (e.g., username or Secure Note) with another Brown 1Password user in one of two ways. The first method is through the item itself. This method will only allow you to share a single item, which can only be shared for a set amount of time. More information on this method can be found in the Securely share 1Password items with anyone article. The second method is through a shared vault, information on this method can be found in the Create and share vaults article.

Q. What are shared vaults, and how can I use them with my group to share passwords?

A. A shared vault is a special vault that you can use to securely and easily share site password entries and secure notes with other Brown 1Password users. Shared vaults use the same technology to encrypt and decrypt data that a regular 1Password account uses but are designed to accommodate multiple users for the same folder. See How to create and manage shared vaults for your team for full details.

Q. What are some best security practices for using 1Password to ensure I get the most out of it?

A. The short answer is to ensure that all of your passwords are at least 16 characters in length and unique. For specific steps you can take, review the 1Password article How to keep your 1Password account secure .

Troubleshooting

Q. what if i forget my master password.

A. The Office of Information Technology can reset your Master Password for your Enterprise account. Open a ticket with [email protected] to reset your enterprise master password. Brown cannot assist in the recovery of your Family account, but you can do so using your Emergency Kit .

Q. Why am I not able to see my team's shared folders?

A. You won't be able to access your team’s shared vault unless someone with sharing permissions to that vault adds you as a member. Please reference Share a vault for more information.

Q. Why does the password field not auto-populate when using desktop applications such as Microsoft Office or the VPN client (Big-IP/F5)?

A. 1Password can auto-populate log-in info on desktop apps through Universal Autofill for Mac. To enable Universal Autofill you will need to go into your Macs system settings and enable the feature. Please visit the article Use Universal Autofill in apps and browsers on your Mac for instructions on how to enable the feature. Unfortunately this feature isn’t available for Windows so to solve this issue, 1Password recommends using Quick Access. Quick Access is a feature found in the 1Password desktop application that allows you to find any item without leaving the app you’re working in. To open Quick Access on Windows/Linux, press Ctrl + Shift + Space and Mac  Shift-Command-Space. For more information on the feature, visit their Quick Access documentation .

Autofill: What It Is & How To Use It On Your Android Device

Eliminates typos and stress from typing

If you’re not a fan of filling out time-consuming forms, or get frustrated with apps that require you to, here’s some good news: you don’t have to anymore thanks to autofill . Autofill is a dedicated framework introduced by Google that manages communication between the autofill service and apps on your Android device .

The service works much like password managers , which take the stress out of forgetting passwords and fills out information in other apps using your data. This improves the user experience because you’ll spend less time filling in form fields, and minimize typos especially when using mobile devices.

The autofill framework is composed of the services such as password managers, autofill clients or apps that hold your data, and the Android OS that offers the platform on which everything works together.

Autofill came with Android Oreo (8.0) as one of the under-the-hood improvements designed to make Android devices run smoother, faster and cooler. For users and developers, it’s a godsend because it makes it easier to enter login credentials in supported apps like Netflix and others.

Initially, whenever you signed into a supported app, Google’s autofill service would appear and used Google’s password management service to enter your login credentials.

Today though, it works with other password manager apps like LastPass, 1Password or Dashlane, which prior to Oreo, had their own system of automatically filling in your usernames and passwords with a few hacks. This is no longer necessary.

If you have any of these apps installed, you’ll be prompted to securely and automatically enter your login details when a web page prompts for authentication, or when opening apps.

Another great aspect of autofill is if you have new logins that you’ve not used in your password manager, when you do so the first time, it should prompt you to save the data to your default manager app.

How To Use Autofill With Your Google Account

Your Google account is useful when signing up for almost every service available online. In fact, it’s probably Facebook’s biggest rival in this area, though there are other services that still require you to sign up for an account to use them.

Most online services give users the preferred option of signing up and logging in using their Facebook or Google account.

Each time you visit a sign up page on a website, your information is automatically filled in when you sign up using your Google account. This is made possible because of Chrome’s autofill feature that saves your login credentials to your Google account.

With autofill now available on Android apps and devices, you can store your logins for online services like Netflix , for example, and Google will autofill the data on any Android device you log in to.

In order to enable Google autofill for apps and your Android device, take the steps below.

Go to Settings on your Android device.

Scroll down and find System or General Management.

Tap Language and Time ( this may or may not appear depending on your Android version. If it isn’t available, go to the next step).

Select Language & Input.

Tap the Advanced settings section (Input Assistance) at the bottom to expand the list (depending on your Android version).

Tap Autofill service .

Next, tap Google to select it (as default).

Select Autofill with Google.

Go back to Autofill Service. Tap Settings next to the Google app you selected. You should get a prompt that shows you the kind of information Google can see if it’s your default autofill service.

Click OK to confirm. Select the default email address you want to use with autofill service. Click Continue.

Test the service by opening an app and trying to sign in when prompted, to send your credentials to your Google account.

How To Use Autofill With a Password Manager

Built-in browser password managers like those in Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Opera help save time and make password management convenient. However, they offer a false sense of security, which doesn’t hold up, especially when there’s a browser breach.

With a separate and dedicated password manager, you can create and keep better and stronger passwords, knowing they’ll be more secure than they would in your browser. Currently, the password manager apps that support Google autofill include LastPass (Google-certified), Enpass, 1Password, Keeper and Dashlane.

If you want to set up autofill to work with your password manager, you’ll need to download the manager app first. If you already have one in your Android device, use the steps below to set up autofill service.

Download and install a Google-supported password manager.

Go to Settings > System. Tap Language & Input.

Tap the Advanced section to expand it. Select Autofill service and choose your password manager. If it isn’t on the list, tap Add Service.

Open an app and when prompted, tap Autofill with [password manager] . For example, if your default app is LastPass, tap Autofill with LastPass.

Authenticate using a password or fingerprint to confirm the action. Log into the app you want and use it.

You can now use autofill to enter your login credentials using your Google account or your password manager. Whenever you tap sign in on any app, your email address will appear as a suggestion, much like autofill for Chrome in the signin field.

With third party apps, however, you’ll be prompted to unlock your password manager and choose your credentials without leaving the sign in screen.

Ratings and Reviews

Can no longer recommend.

Used this for years. Used to feel really integrated into the system on both Mac and iPhone, now feels counterintuitive, slow, and clunky, making the ability to sign in to sites harder rather than easier for the end user. It's so disappointing when a great product - which should be almost invisible and seamless (and it was) - is overengineered to feel so bloated, cumbersome, and difficult to use.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear you're not enjoying 1Password for Safari, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. If you reach out to our team at [email protected], we'd be happy to work through your concerns and answer any questions you have.

Much Improved Recently

I am happy to write that this piece of software has greatly improved in recent weeks. In the past I left a 1 star review for this application due to the fact it rarely worked and was unable to add my usernames and passwords to websites. Given that was the application's only real function it was far from great. With recent updates things have taken a big turn for the better. It now reliably adds my details to websites and it is much better about remembering my credentials between sessions so that I am not having to sign back in on a continual basis. I have recently deleted my 1 star review as I no longer felt that it was appropriate for a piece of software which has genuinely improved. I hope I am able to leave this far more positive review here for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for taking the time to leave an updated review. We're so glad to hear that things are working as expected for you now, and we appreciate you letting us know!

An absolute embarrassment!

If I could give this zero stars I would, it's an absolute joke and more trouble than it's worth. When it comes to the Safari extension it always has been and all its myriad of faults and problems are well documented in all the previous reviews that have resulted in it having (a very generous in my opinion) rating of 2.3. The latest V8 is clearly just as horrendous. It's quicker and more efficiently reliable to manually copy and paste from the desktop app, which is absolutely laughable in this day and age. Contact support and they're so patronisingly condescending it's beyond belief. Such a huge let down and complete disappointment considering the reliability and functionality of the other platform apps. If it wasn't for the fact I spent literally hours one Sunday afternoon transferring everything into 1Password, I'd get rid of it in a heartbeat, in favour of one of its competitors whose Safari plugin works 100% reliably 100% of the time!

Thanks for leaving a review. This can be fixed by quitting Safari, opening 1Password for Mac and clicking Help > Troubleshooting > Fix Missing Safari Extension. If that doesn’t work, email [email protected] and someone will reach out to help and get everything up and running as it should.
