I have a scenario with a family member wanting to run 1Password on a windows computer that they use in a small business. Multiple users have access to the machine via a single login. I’m not in a position where I can setup per user logins etc. Does anyone have any advice for running 1Password securely in this context?

Hi @teabot!

The only thing I could think of is to make sure to use the auto-lock settings in 1Password for Windows so it locks often. If the 1Password app is locked, any user will need to know the Master Password to unlock it.

In addition to this, you should configure this 1Password app so it uses a strong Master Password:

Using a separate user account would probably be better, but in case you cannot do this, these suggestions should help :+1:
