1Password Pros and Cons

We've used LastPass for years and was very happy with it until we decided to look elsewhere. 1Password's features are well and above our old product, it's easy to use, and after deploying to the whole of the company we've had very little push back / technical queries.

Onboarding was great, our onboarding rep was more than happy to spend time with us answering any question - no matter how small. We received Product demos, admin training, and because we were able to qualify, a training session for the whole company.

Using SSO has reduced friction and allowed us to implement with very little effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only one thing I dislike and that is the inability to set some defaults via a central policy, for instance it would be good to be able to set a maximum timeout on the company vaults. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i've been using 1password for a few months now as the subscription is provided by my university and i use it for all university related works. It has a great interface and having apps and extentions makes it really easy to keep my passwords secure and accesaable. It's really easy to setup and use on diffrent paltform and it was an easy process to import my passwords form other software managers for easier integration to my work flow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing really the only thing that bugs me a little bit is it keeps loging out after a while but i understand this is for security reasons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to easily store all login credentials in a single place; for the most part, 1Password intelligently autofills passwords for a variety of websites and applications and easily keeps credentials synced across multiple devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to be able to more easily distinguish "personal" accounts from "work" accounts since I am currently using 1Password for both. Occasionally (depending on the website or application in question), it is also difficult to update login information when changing passwords, but for the preponderance of websites, it's relatively easy to use.

We're using the Business edition of 1Password and it seems like it was designed by some fine folks that are using it for business as well. From recovering accounts because users lost their secret keys or forgot their passwords, to looking up who has used this company card to buy concert tickets (the user said it was accidentally and we've believed them), to sharing passwords, there is a feature that have always helped us.

Talking to business or support people has always been like talking to a friend, and I mean it, I remember once we started the call talking about our LEGO sets. Unfortunately, you don't need to talk to them very often :-) I also like that there's a free family account as part of the business account, so that employees can use the tool also to secure their own accounts, and families. That's why I like to call it "securing our people", not just "securing our employees".

It's also nice that 1Password, the company, publishes a quite detailed security whitepaper. By reading it, you can always learn about how this or that feature is implemented, how come you can actually recover an account and nerdy things like that. I think it's part of being an open company, which I've always valued being a 1Password customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really think these are the things we, or I, dislike as such, it's more of "this would be nice to have".

Sometimes it's difficult to explain to users that there are just one too many apps to install for the best experience. There's the desktop app (and if you're a Mac user, there's version 8 which is not in the app store unfortunately), then the browser extension which is very useful and I always recommend it installing but it requires the desktop app from time to time, and if you don't have the desktop app, then you end up in the web app. It took me, the administrator, a while to recognize what's on the screenshot the user sent me.

1Password can be used to share passwords with external parties, which is a very nice feature, but it would also be nice if it could be used to share passwords in the opposite direction: when we'd like the external partner to send us the password directly to a vault. Maybe it could be built with the API or something, but I'd like our users to have a feature as easy to use, as the password sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I frequently use 1password to integrate many application on daily basis, while implementing ease of use to customer. Being a part of support team it helps a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing to dislike about 1password. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to store a variety of logins and create different access vaults. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lags a bit and when passive for a certain time, it kicks you out, so have to login or re-authenticate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple Account creation on websites with super secure passwords generated. I use it constantly with any new website. Unifiys my passwords and makes it easy to change passwords over as I run into old accounts I need to secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup can be daunting and keeping your secure key for each computer takes time to set up. But when its all together it flows really well. App can only really store passwords for Mac. No autofilling like on PC but thats apple for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to integrate 1password with our dev environment through their CLI tools is amazing. Our dev teams can easily set credentials through biometric authentication (e.g. touch ID) making it easier for our teams to pull down projects and get them running locally.

Their support for non-profits like ours is appreciated. Any business that doesn't have discounted rates for non-profits in 2024 is behind the times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I just want to generate a random password without all the log in stuff. It would be nice to have that as a little feature (e.g. a password without a username).

Another feature that would be good is the ability to create credentials and add them to a colleague's personal private vault. That makes is easier and more secure to onboard new employees e.g. creating AWS creds for new people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bestest thing is we can easily store all the passwords at one place without any hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The thing is that passwords are kinda confidential so just a feedback that the 2fa part can be more secure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

its user-friendly interface and the password can be easily shared with family 9r other team members Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
