department segmentation

Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.

Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.

It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.

Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.

A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

The switchover from the stand-alone app to the subscription-based version was a bit difficult for me. Now I have duplicate entries that are taking me forever to delete as I check each one to make sure I have the most current info on the one I keep. If there's a convenient way to not only find duplicates but make sure to delete only the ones that are exact duplicates or show comparisons indicating the most recent one, I haven't found it yet.

I found it easier to organize when I could just make folders instead of the new keywords way, but it's not major, just a very minor annoyance.

Supports almost any OS/browser

Alerts for reused passwords

Syncs with all your devices

Everything is done well, I don't think that I would like that they improved anything

Keeps all passwords under the umbrella of one

Provides secure back up measure incase main password is forgotten

Usually requires for me to use main password every time I need to log into something even during the same day

1Password does a phenomenal job of keeping track of all your passwords!

1Password allows you to auto generate passwords with varying complexity. Since you don't have to remember these passwords, you can use 1Password's password generator to create extremely complex passwords.

1Password's overall interface can be a bit overwhelming at first - with a plethora of options and categories to choose from.

Getting used to allowing 1Password to manage all your passwords - to the point you don't have to remember them, or even know what they are - takes a fair amount of getting used to.

Wish it would not prompt to save passwords for sites I did not request.

Wish it was better integrated with the mobile browser.

Secure. 1Password is a secure encrypted repository for my passwords and other vital information (credit card and banking data, software licenses, etc.).

Simple. Once it's setup 1Password just works as you want it to and think it should.

Multi-field password entry. It still seems clunky if I have a three-field login where some piece of data beyond a user name and password are needed.

Migration from earlier versions of 1Password has been a mixed bag of work necessary to make them work on the newer platform.

Simple and secure setup

Ease in creating different vaults for different uses and sharing/permissions across vaults for family or team members

Integration across devices (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.) is seamless.

iPhone Face ID integration

The Chrome Browser add-on works very well.

The password generator is great and very customizable to meet the differing requirements of companies/sites.

It allows for a variety of different "types" of password entries, but if you want it to work as part of the integrated login functionality for a site, it must be created as a "login," which can be counterintuitive and impact the way your information is categorized.

I haven't been able to figure out how to change the type of entry once it's created. You can move entries between vaults, but can't change the type, which results in needing to recreate and delete.

Certain sites' login screens don't auto-populate, you have to go into 1Password to copy and paste.

It's possible the functionality isn't as good using a Microsoft device (I have both a Microsoft Surface as well as a Macbook Pro).

Random password generation.

Browser auto-fill forms.

Allow text fields to have more than one line (You can use notes for that but you can have a single note per item as of now).

More formats by default (SSH keys, Blockchain keypairs, etc).

Autofill of usernames and passwords including one-time passwords.

Password warnings for compromised websites, re-used passwords.

Safari extension can be somewhat buggy.

It can be confusing when updating a password and hard to know if the password you created will be saved to the correct record.

The encryption levels provided by 1Password are great. It’s a multi-tier encryption.

The graphical user interface of the application is very user friendly. The design is made for better and effective user navigation.

There is no option to reset your password manually for the user, someone authorized for the account has to approve the request for a new password.

The extension for most browsers stops working after the browser is updated. This results in uninstalling and installing again which is time-consuming.

Vault management

Elegant UI

Maybe a free version so that more people can try it.

Password Autofill , easy to use and quick.

Password Generation, flexible password generation, allows you to omit ambiguous characters (io, l, etc.)

Password Generation could allow "easy to remember passwords," but with special characters, capitals, numbers added ( which some sites require), This currently has to happen manually.

New password generation and updating for existing logins, the current process can be a little cumbersome.

The password generator is a wonderful tool.

The different types of info you can store. i.e. Credit card info, addresses, logins, etc...

I'm not sure if it exists already, but a prompt asking if 1Password would like a new login saved would be great. I did not have it installed on my browser, so maybe this was how it functioned if it did this.

It would be great if it could randomly update passwords for you on specific dates, so that you're always staying secure.

Encourages better security by not re-using passwords.

Allows easy entry of complex passwords.

Cost can be a little high for personal use.

Mac integration is still better than Windows.

Security.

Encrypted secure password generator.

If you do not remember your core password, it can be very difficult to recover your account.

Interface can always use improvement

Siloing passwords

Security

Design

User experience

Managing passwords: Create truly secure passwords or pass-phrases.

Sharing credit card information with appointed team members.

1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.

On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

Secure system and software.

Available on mobile.

Keeps all passwords in one place.

A pain to reset if you forgot your login.

Difficulty finding the Master Password if needed.

1Password does well with the encryption level.

The app and design of the user interface are friendly and easy to use.

Inexpensive family and business plans.

Multiple vaults and permissions available.

The price point for businesses could be adjusted.

Sync options may be limited. It allows for iCloud, dropbox and other folders, but does not have the ability to access Google drive.

It is a licensing service rather than a standalone.
