199 TopicsAvoiding Personal-Business Use Mixups
I currently have a 1Password family account, with multiple vaults, including one for the nonprofit I lead. Now I'd like my Board of Directors to use 1Password as well. However, I'm concerned about mixups and wonder if I'm better off with a different arrangement (e.g. a different password manager for business use). My question is, how does one actually shift between personal 1Password use to business use and back again on the same device(s)? Is it like opening different vaults? Or will I need to log in and out of each separate account? Or what? Thanks!Solved46Views0likes8CommentsWhat is the procedure to transfer 1P to a new iPhone?
Hi, I will be purchasing a new iPhone and based on my searches, I believe all that I have to do is setup 1P on my new iPhone, login, and then it will be ready after it syncs. However, what I'm uncertain about, though, is that in my case, I will be backing up my old iPhone and restoring it onto my new iPhone, so that I retain the setup and apps that I have on my old iPhone. After the restore onto my new iPhone and when I boot it, what do I need to do to get 1P activated on this new iPhone (and deactivated on the old iPhone)? Thanks!Solved13Views0likes3CommentsAuto Fill Security Codes
I have an Apple McBook Air macOS 26.1 (25B78). I am using Google Chrome browser Version 142.0.7444.176 (Official Build) (arm64). I am also using 1Password for Mac 8.11.18. I want to do autofill on the Chrome browser for logins and passwords from 1Password and I also want to use autofill for security codes sent via text message to my iPhone and MacBook Air. How do I do this?Solved32Views0likes2Comments2 entries same password
Hi, is there a solution for the following scenario: i have a Windows Account and an EntraID Account that are fully synced in the background. So i have 2 entries with the same Password. Is there a way to sync this entries somehow so that i need only to change the password at 1 single point in a 1Password entry? Is this maybe a possible New Feature for 1Password?

Hello, I am planning to make use of 1Password (I have the paid Family plan) to store most of my TOTP codes - moving on from Authy. Because Authy does not allow for export of TOTP codes, I have most of the TOTP codes also backed up with a printout of the QR code used to originally add the TOTP to Authy. How can I add these TOTP codes to 1Password using the printed QR codes (ie. not on screen/in browser)? I would very much like to avoid needing to re-create all of these codes from scratch. Thank you.16Views0likes1CommentWhat’s new in 1Password Enterprise Password Manager (Q4 2025)
Hey everyone! 👋 We’ve been working closely with customers across industries this past year to understand where they need more flexibility, clarity, and control. That feedback shaped a new round of improvements that help teams deploy faster, manage more consistently, and stay secure without slowing anyone down. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new: Security without friction New App Unlock presets give admins more flexibility in how people unlock 1Password. Organizations can align unlock behavior with their existing device policies, like allowing 1Password to unlock when the device unlocks while still enforcing auto-lock where needed. Teams can decide which presets are available, override them where required, or let users choose the option that fits their workflow. Vaults remain protected by device-level encryption – this simply changes when 1Password unlocks, not how it’s secured. Get teams set up in less time A couple of updates make it easier for new users to get started confidently: The new Browser Extension policy helps guide new users to install the 1Password browser extension during setup. Guided Setup now introduces people to the essentials of using 1Password in their environment and adapts to each organization’s configuration. Together, these reduce confusion during onboarding, minimize IT overhead, and help people start saving and filling credentials right away. New policies provide more control As organizations scale, admins often need fine-grained control over how credentials are saved and submitted. New policy options now allow admins to configure: Autosave: Choose which item types (Logins, Credit Cards, Addresses, 2FA) are saved automatically. Autosubmit: Turn off automatic form submission. Sign-in Attempts: Define how many failed login attempts are allowed before an IP address is temporarily locked for that user, helping safeguard against brute-force attacks. These updates help standardize behavior across the organization while still giving teams the right amount of flexibility. Set up your 1Password instance to reflect how your organization operates Multi-tenancy introduces a new account model designed for scale that brings more clarity and consistency to large or distributed organizations. Linked Accounts let you connect a parent account to any number of child accounts within the same data region, organized by geography, department, or business unit. Policy Templates make governance easier by letting the parent account create reusable templates, decide what child accounts can override, and apply standards instantly. It’s a flexible way to maintain consistent security while letting teams operate independently when they need to. Coming in 2026 A couple of updates already in motion: Automated Provisioning hosted by 1Password connects directly to Okta and Entra ID, eliminating the need for self-hosted SCIM bridges so teams can deploy faster with less infrastructure to maintain. A redesigned Audit Log that brings all user and admin activity into a unified, human-readable view, making investigations and compliance reviews much easier. These improvements are all steps toward making enterprise deployment smoother, governance clearer, and day-to-day work less of a lift for admins and teams alike. If you’d like a closer look (including screenshots and examples) you can find the full breakdown in our latest blog post.9Views0likes0CommentsWhat is 1Password doing to simplify user access for companies using many vaults?
We follow role-based access, like many other companies would for providing the right and lowest amount of access to their users as their role requires. In order to do this with 1Password for appropriate credential sharing, we have to setup many vaults per each of our customers, as well as our own environments/projects. With us currently sitting at around 78 vaults, the UI, search and overall functionality is really starting to show a lack of scalability for the business. Sharing feature is not feasible due to expiration (nor would it be even if expiration wasn't there for the sheer point of manual process this requires) Duplicating passwords makes everything worse as credentials do not sync back to the original item. My questions are, What is 1Password doing about this? Is it something you are currently aware is an issue and working towards a solution? If you are aware, what is the priority? Do you have a timeline for any improvements? As there is no solution, either other companies are in the same boat as me or simply setting up less vaults and accepting the security risk that people get access to credentials not required for their roles.160Views1like9CommentsLogin with QR - a risk?
Hello, I have a concern on the login with QR. I’ve read how it securely sends my secret key and master password and how I need to verify on the approver device but if someone had my password manager open or even forces me (say biometric unlock) to open then they could login on their device They would go their separate way with their device disconnect from the internet so my unlink or secret key change would make no difference and view away all my content. given this is there a way I can turn that option off. I haven’t tested yet but if 2FA is on does that still need to be entered? I guess that’s a potential solution.Solved106Views0likes16CommentsWhy Do Copies of Logins Appear in Archive?
A member of my family (call them Andrea) who has a personal 1Password license forgot their main 1Password password for that account but could still authorize using biometrics. As a result of not knowing their password they could neither create new login items nor update existing ones. Per the 1Password support area, I added them to my family account and copied Andrea's items from their Private vault on the old personal license using copy and paste into their Private vault attached to the family account. I also moved all items that my partner (call them Peter) and I shared from the Shared vault attached to the family account to a new vault that was limited to the two of us. After taking these steps, the items that had been archived from the Family Shared vault were still in the archive, visible to all users when you clicked on the button that says View Archived Items; all the items from the Private vault from the former (Andrea's) personal account were visible to that formerly personal user (Andrea). My primary question is: why are all the old passwords from the personal vault appearing in Andrea's archive? My second question is: How can I hide the archived items from the Shared vault that were formerly visible to me and Peter and are now visible to Andrea as well? Do I just have to delete them??6Views0likes0CommentsSHaring a password securely with a team member VA
Hi, I have recently joined a business community, and they mentioned that they share a one off password generated in their password manager each time for their VA - I am considering getting a VA. What is the best way to manage a password when bringing on a team. I am one of your original customers in 1 password 5 so not on a plan, I paid one off for the app. It's been great!
