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

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.

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.

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!

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).
