About 1Password
1Password is the leading password manager that remembers all your passwords so you only need to remember one. Generate strong, unique passwords for every site and app, then autofill them instantly on any device. Your vault is protected by AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by governments.
1Password stores more than passwords — credit cards, secure notes, software licenses, identity documents, and SSH keys are all organized in your encrypted vault. The Watchtower feature alerts you to weak, reused, or compromised passwords and websites that have been breached.
Family and team sharing lets you securely share passwords with specific people. Travel Mode removes sensitive data from your device when crossing borders. The browser extension integrates seamlessly for one-click login on every website.

User Reviews
1Password has been protecting my 400+ passwords for 6 years. Watchtower has alerted me to 3 data breaches before I even heard about them in the news. The family plan means my wife and kids are secured too. Worth every penny.
The SSH key management and developer tools integration is what sets 1Password apart. I use it for API keys, database credentials, and SSH access. The CLI integration with my terminal workflow is seamless.
