What's your password personality?

What's your cybersecurity style at work? Answer a few password-related questions and get tailored recommendations to strengthen your cybersecurity habits.

1. Where are your passwords stored?

A: In a spreadsheet or physical notebook.

B: My work passwords are in 1Password. My personal passwords are stored in my browser's password manager.

C: They're all in 1Password, synced across my devices.

D: My 24-character, high-entropy passwords are stored in encrypted vaults synced across devices and environments.

2. Do you reuse passwords?

A: Yes. That's how I remember them.

B: No. I make every password different by changing the number, letter, or special symbol at the end.

C: No, I don't reuse passwords. That's what password managers and password generators are for!

D: No. All of my passwords are exceptionally strong and unique, and stored securely in a password manager. I also use 2FA and passkeys wherever possible.

3. Complete this sentence: The last time I had to share a password, I…

A: Realized I couldn't remember the password and asked someone else to send it.

B: Copied and pasted the password into an email, work chat app, or text message.

C: Securely shared the password from a vault.

D: Provisioned access without exposing the underlying credential.

4. How many vaults do you use?

A: What are vaults?

B: I've been added to a couple.

C: Several. And I use shared vaults on my personal 1Password account to share logins with my family.

D: It depends. Vaults are structured around access policies and created programmatically.

5. Have you ever used 1Password to temporarily share a single item with someone, even if they don't use 1Password?

A: Full honesty: no.

B: I share items using shared vaults. I didn't realize I could share items individually!

C: Yes. That's how my organization works with freelancers. And how I share my lockbox code with the dogwalker.

D: Yes. I share access, not secrets – time-bound and tightly scoped.

The security minimalist Most likely to say: “Is that a lower-case L or a 1?” You value simplicity, you have a system, but it relies too heavily on memory and good intentions. Unfortunately, spreadsheets and sticky notes aren’t a strong security strategy. It’s time for a change. Next move: Download the 1Password browser extension. Let it generate strong passwords and do the remembering for you.

Why it’s important Reused or written-down passwords make it easy for attackers to break into work systems. Don’t be the weakest link on the team!

The copy-paste collaborator Most likely to say: “It’s fine, it’s internal!” You get things done, you use 1Password at work, but when it’s time to share access, convenience sometimes wins over control. Your teammates appreciate your responsiveness but your CISO would appreciate fewer Slack messages containing credentials. Next move: Share items through a vault instead of copying and pasting. Bonus level: use Item Sharing to send a single password securely – and revoke it when it’s no longer needed. Learn about vaults

The helpdesk operator Most likely to say: “Did you check in the vault?” You know where things live. You generate strong passwords. You share securely. At this point, you’re not just using 1Password, you’re modeling it. Next move: Make it official. Take a certification course in 1Password Academy and level up from “unofficial help desk” to recognized expert. Visit 1Password Academy

The devops defender Most likely to say: “There’s an API for that.” You don’t just use security tools, you design around them. Access is structured. Manual processes make you uneasy. If something can be automated, it should be. Next move: Sign up for 1Password’s developer newsletter and – if you haven’t already – put 1Password’s developer tools to work . Explore the 1Password SDKs, CLI, or secrets automation features to integrate credential management directly into your workflows. Get the Developer Newsletter
