Hi there @timjo

If you're trying to use 1Password in an environment like that, your best bet will be to use 1Password.com in a tab in your browser.

1Password needs to be installed in a specific path, so if you can't install it to drive C:\, it won't work. You mentioned a USB stick – my suggestion would be to save your Emergency Kit to it so that you have easy access to your account details to sign in with.

In many cases like this, IT departments are keen to avoid "shadow IT" – employees using apps and services that aren't approved – so my personal advice would be to speak to your IT department to see if they can approve 1Password for your use. If they have any questions or concerns, they can come and talk to us via email at support@1password.com and we'll be happy to help out. :)

Please let me know if you have any questions, or would like any further help.
