Feature Request - Send me a password securely
I had a look for this feature request and couldnt see it...
I would like the ability for people that dont have 1password to share passwords securely with me. Perhaps I could send them a link to an empty 1Password item which they can then update, hit save and I get the password securely in my vault. Links expire within x days, and can only be saved once. Once its saved, the link expires immediately and the person who updated it cannot access it.
Hello TechSolvers! 👋
Thank you for the feedback! We've received a few requests over the years for a feature where you can request passwords securely from non-1Password users. While I can't make any promises, I'll let the team know that you're also interested in seeing this feature be added to a future version of 1Password.
For the time being, inviting the person to your 1Password membership as a guest would be the best option:

I want to 2nd this feature request! This would be helpful in so many scenarios! I manage a help desk and while we never ask for a password there are many instances where our users want us to work on their devices while they're in a meeting or aren't at the device. If we could securely get a password from them that'd be amazing. Obviously we'd force them to change it once they're back at their desk and we've completed the work, but they'd still be able to work from their ipad/phone in meetings while we might be working on their computer without them if we could securely get a password. There are so many other useful scenarios for this as well. This would be an amazing feature!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll pass your request along internally as well.

If your organization already uses 1Password, then you can have them share their password by moving it into a shared vault that you both have access to: Create, share, and manage vaults in your team

Would WhatsApp be considered a secure way to send the information? Not sure copying from 1Password to WhatsApp is secure....but it would be cool if it could be?

I don't recommend sending passwords using a messenger app like Whatsapp. Instead you can use 1Password's secure item sharing to send passwords and other information to others: Securely share 1Password items with anyone
If you need to request information from others then you can invite them to your 1Password account as a guest: Share with guests in 1Password Families

My company really needs this feature. We sometimes need a contractor/developer to share something like an API token, and we don't want to set them up with a whole 1password account. We literally just need ONE piece of information to be shared securely. Without this feature, employees are tempted to "give up" and send these things via email, slack, chat, etc.
