|Description=1Password is a secure password manager that stores and encrypts passwords, login details, and other sensitive information in a digital vault
|Logo=1Password-logo.png|ReleaseYear=2006}}1Password is a multi-platform subscription-based password manager developed by AgileBits Inc. It is often used due to the combination of a master password with a second secret key generated on-device (i.e., not in the cloud). Unlocking a user's vault therefore requires '''both''' pieces of information to decrypt and access. It also supports conventional two factor authentication using either software tokens or hardware-based tokens (e.g., Yubikey, Google Titan), which can be added to further secure a vault. 1Password is closed-source and is not self-hostable.

1Password, in addition to passwords, is capable of storing myriad site credentials including one-time codes, emails / user names, and additional notes.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Password Manager for Individuals & Families |url=https://1password.com/product/password-manager |access-date=2025-10-21 |website=1Password}}</ref>

==Consumer impact summary==

===Freedom===
<blockquote>"You can export your 1Pasword information at any time. If you discontinue payment, your account will enter a frozen (read-only) state that still allows you to retrieve and export your information. Your export will be limited to the information you saved in 1Password. We can’t guarantee that vault permissions, group structures, and other details about relationships between people and information are included."<ref name="privacy">{{Cite web |date=2025-02-27 |title=About 1Password and your privacy |url=https://support.1password.com/1password-privacy/ |access-date=2025-09-05 |work=1Password Support}}</ref></blockquote>Users can import existing passwords from other managers and export passwords and other content in formats suitable for importing into other managers. 1Password is not a walled-garden. Allowing the subscription to expire places an account in a read-only state, where the user can still download their passwords and other saved content.

===Privacy===
From "Your Rights" section of the privacy policy:<blockquote>"'''You have the right to your information.''' We'll never lock you out of your 1Password account, but we're unable to decrypt it for you."<ref name="privacy" /> </blockquote>This implies anything inside it is hidden from the company, which is great as it is a password manager.<blockquote>"'''You have the right to know what we know.''' You have the right to know what we know about you and see how we handle that information. If you make such a request, you'll receive a screenshot of what we can see about you in our systems. To protect customer privacy, these requests will be carefully authenticated beyond demonstrating control of the registered email address."<ref name="privacy" /></blockquote>Possibly, such a request will need to contain identifying information you have to provide in order to use the service such as email, name, address, and payment information.
