    Tool: Enterprise Password Manager/Personal Password Manager
    Platform: Web
    Tip: While bookmarks and auto-completion in the address bar work well for opening a page only in the current tab - often requiring opening a new tab before starting, doing the same in the plugin automagically opens the site in a new tab or a current new tab (and replaces the "new tab" as the first page in the tab history).

    Tool: Enterprise Password Manager/Personal Password Manager
    Platform: Web
    Tip: Update the website field from the URL captured during a sign up or registration to that of a login page so that the Open and fill function from the browser plugin will open a new tab and sign you in to the (well-behaved) site.

    Tool: Enterprise Password Manager/Personal Password Manager
    Platform: Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: Export your data directly to secure storage periodically. Click⁝, Export > (or platform equivalent), choose your Account, enter your password, select each of 1PUX and CSV, and click Export Data. Choose your accessible secure storage location for the unencrypted text file containing your secrets. Ensure that you access to this secure storage does not require secrets stored only in 1Password.

    Tool: Enterprise Password Manager/Personal Password Manager
    Platform: Web, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: Use another trusted password manager. 1Password may always be the best quality and value, the service be available every time you need it, every version of the software run on every version of every platform on which you need it, and will never en**bleep**ify... but a really easy way to back up your data is to import the 1PUX into another tool; a bonus feature being able to use it directly.

    Platform: Linux
    Tip: Don't worry that 1Password is one of the last desktop applications to not work natively with Wayland and with the ongoing deprecation of X11 will soon be unusable, as either 1Password will release a working client, or we can easily migrate to another trusted password manager with a working client.

    As they say at the office, strive for five ;) Lets lead by example and get this show on the road!

    Tool: Personal Password Manager / +Engagement
    Platform: Web, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: Never underestimate the power of the complementary Family account for Teams/Business/Enterprise accounts. As long as you are a member of the organisation your family is tagging along. (Pro-tip, if you add your existing subscription - the already payed fee remains at 1Password site until your organisation (or you) stops using their account). I can't recommend organisations and admins enough to encourage the family accounts, your colleagues working with it at home guarantees them working with it at the office.

    Platform: iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: When a website isn't picking up some field, check its label. Chances are high if you use the visible label it will auto-fill properly. Example, some organisations website you log in has an e-mail and password field that work as expected, they redirect you to a "one-time-password/2FA/MFA/the-6-digit-generated-numbers" but 1Password doesn't seem to understand it. Above the field it states 'Verification number'. Change the 'label' in 1password to match the website; i.e. from one-time-password to 'Verification number' and next time auto-fill will work properly.

    Tool: Generic
    Platform: Web
    Tip: Caught up somewhere and need an impromptu password and you don't have 1Password ready? https://1password.com/password-generator will serve you straight away!

    Tool: Personal Password Manager / Enterprise Password Manager
    Platform: Web or iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: You should have discovered the 'share password' option for individual passwords but did you know you can also create a limited number of (temporary) guest accounts to your family or business? Check out https://support.1password.com/guests/ or https://support.1password.com/guests-teams/ Highly beneficial if you need to share a few passwords!

    Tool: Device Trust
    Platform: iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux
    Tip: Ever need your passwords when you're out of range? The apps got you covered! Even if you have a company account (and the administrators allow it) you can use the apps offline using your biometrics (Face recognition, Fingerprint, etc.) up to (default) 14 days. Highly convenient, as of recent experience and thoughtful sharing - the set amount of days is as of you last login to 1password on that device and requires not closing the app (or shutting down your laptop).
