Luckily my password is not lost. I thought it a good idea to have my stuff in order should the password ever fail. I have my secret key and I have my recovery key (which I didn't know was a thoing until I went to ensure I jad my recovery kit and secret key. Please clear up the diff btwn and uses of the secret key vs. recovery key. Also please let me know the steps to reset a password if it just won't work but I have my key and code. Thank you!17Views0likes7CommentsStoring Smart Home Codes
I store a lot in 1password to keep everything together. I am starting to get into Smart Home and devices. Most come with a code or a QR Code. Depending on where you put the device, It may not be convenient to access the code if I need to re-pair the device. Does anyone have a suggestion to add the QR codes, the text codes and identifiable information like a location into 1password? The only option I see is to create a(or multiple) secure note and add a photo of the QR code and type in other relavent information. Once I start to get dozens or even hundreds of individual devices, this could get unweildy to manage or use effectively. Would like to see 1password add a new catagory for adding Smart Home codes and device information. I think there is an IOS app called Homebase for Homekit that does this, but don't want yet another subscription or tool to manage my information.

Hi, Since the change to the new web interface for some unknown reason a decision was made to not be able to edit the icon of an entry and change it with another .png icon. All of my items have custom icons which was made from the previous interface. This was over a year ago maybe more and i have contacted support twice with an answer "we know, we will implement" When this will happen ? i don't want to become that guy but i know a few about dev and i'm positive that it is not a mega-feature, it was there, but you remove it. Why ? When it is coming back ? yes i know i can do it from my iPhone but that is not a solution. I will appreciate any insight on that.

What happens to a vault of items being shared between two people if the vault's owner should suddenly stop using 1Password for Families? (in the case of stroke, death, cognitive decline, switch to a competitor, change from family to personal plan, etc.) What if the owner or their heirs don't know how or want to continue with 1Password after payments cease? If the owner or its heirs decide to close out the 1Password account and request data to be removed, are other vault participants notified with an advance directive? I tried searching the forum for the answer, but didn't find what I was looking for. Sorry to be macabre, but I'm always thinking about contingency plans, rights of survivorship, digital legacy, etc. As a real-world scenario example, I share a vault with a friend for the purposes of managing a shared project. My friend owns the vault and has shared it with me from their 1Password for Families account. I'm wondering what is the protocol for retaining or taking ownership of the items in that shared vault should my friend no longer be able to administrate their family account?Solved46Views1like3Commentsmissing Features from PasswordSafe
How can I open Application (Win11 / Linux) from 1PW? I use many tools which run as local applications on my Laptop Sure I can open them first and then copy/paste login+password from 1PW, but it would be much easier to open Application directly from 1PW and get login+password fields Autofilled.. So fare 1PW only opens web-based Login with Standard Browser : ( I miss cool Features from PasswordSafe PWS eg each Login Entry can be customized in PWS where as 1PW has no big choise. - add “[alt]” in front of URL an Webpage will open in Alternate http://browser..if/if you click "Browse to URL" - double click Action can be preset for each Login Entry individually eg Browse to URL (default) or Browse to URL + AutoType - Application can be started from PWS too Change "Double Click Action" to "Run Command" and store Path of Application "C:\Program Files\xyz.exe" in field "Run Cmd". PWS will start Application and with Button "Perform Auto Type" login/pw will be entered in one go. That avoids copy/paste15Views0likes1Commentwinget install , is it safe

I'm new for 1password. I imported my passwords from Bitwarden and my Google account and now I have dozen of duplicated entries. I tried to use a Watchtower but it doesn't see any duplicates at all. The duplicated items are different in tags and time of editing and might that is the problem. Any way to delete the duplicates despite of the differences? Can I define to the Watchtower search the fields that are relevant for comparison (or event better the fields that aren't relevant)? Thanks ahead for the help!45Views0likes6CommentsSecurity incident Postmark and 1P ?
Can 1P management give us a clear statement / view on The Register news article Monday 29th Sept 2025 relating to the "Postmark" email fiasco. When ever 1Password is mentioned in an article, clarification and comment is absolutely essential. Quote: "While we don't know how many organizations were affected by this security incident, Postmark boasts "thousands" of customers, including Ikea, Asana, Minecraft, and 1Password, on its website."Solved26Views0likes2Comments
