1Password is a password manager developed by AgileBits Inc. It provides a place for users to store various passwords, software licenses, and other sensitive information in a virtual vault that is locked with a PBKDF2-guarded[7] master password.

Password file syncing

1Password can be set up to only store password files locally, and not sync with remote servers. It can also be set up so that files are synchronized through Dropbox[8] (all platforms), local Wi-Fi,[9] and iCloud,[10] and more recently, through 1Password.com, a subscription based server sync service maintained by the developers. Local Wi-Fi and iCloud sync are only available on the Mac and iOS.[11][12]

A more recent feature is Travel Mode, which enables omission of password entries not tagged as safe for travel from the local storage on a particular device, reducing the impact of being obliged to unlock access at, for instance, China or other country border entry.[13]

Browser Extensions

1Password integrates with all popular browsers including Brave, Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari.[14] The extension allows you to fill logins automatically, and remember logins for new websites that don't already have a password saved. The browser extension can generate random passwords for new websites.[15]

To use browser extensions, you must have administrative rights on the computer you're using. This has been an issue with users on a PC assigned by a workplace without admin rights. To address this issue, 1Password offers a family plan for a monthly subscription fee that allows web access to your usernames and passwords which can be copied and pasted into login screens.[16]
