1Password is by default, the best password manager anyone can have, be it a regular joe using it to manage personal accounts or a CEO managing credentials on the enterprise level.
It's easy to use, idiot proof and the systems integration is top notch. I have never went a day without using 1Password since more than 10 years ago.
The only issue is that it's not the cheapest password manager around, and the fact that I'm paying for this says a lot about the service.

I like that it's integrated with all my devices. By "integrated", I mean that every time there's a password field to fill, 1Password will automatically trigger and prompt which account to use (I have multiple), even on my Android phone. I find this amazing. When I hear people's (negative) experience with competitors' solutions, I'm always recommending them to use 1Password instead :)
I've been a user for many years now, and the software is continuously improving, so I can't think of anything that is negative about 1Password!

I have been looking for a software which can handle my numerous passwords securely. 1Password has done it for me. Now, there are no issues of me forgetting any important passwords, whether personally or professionally.
1Password has just solved all my concerns and worries. It is capable of retaining all my passwords securely. It helps me to quickly switch between various devices and machines remotely without worrying to enter passwords again and again. Given its two-factor authentication feature, one's passwords are totally secure.
The pricing of the software can be considered, given other competitors in the market. Also, its user interface can be improved a bit. Otherwise, it is a great software.

Overall I have no bad experience really I mean aside from the erasing my all my data and having to sing things constantly sometimes but I do think it's overpriced because it's basically not functional for everything you wanted to do and needed to do if you don't pay them because the free version really is not worth anything I mean it's okay but it you can't sync it you know there's a whole bunch of things but overall I mean it's okay and okay password program it's definitely not the greatest but it's not the worst I've tried either
I like the different tabs for your ID and your documents I like the way you can set everything up to for your contacts and for your passwords. It's easy enough to use once you understand what you're doing and it sinks well.
I don't like how you have to go through and manually those sink and re-add information sometimes and I don't like how the fact it erases everything if you somehow lose your key or something like that your password it'll erase all your data which I mean keeps it safe but it's a hassle and it's really annoying sometimes

I appreciate the security and convenience that 1Password provides in managing my passwords. It saves me the hassle of having to remember all my passwords, and it allows me to create strong, individual passwords for each account. Furthermore, its two-factor authentication, auto-fill and password sharing features increase its security and make it even more user-friendly.
The least liked thing about 1Password is that it can be difficult to set up and configure depending on the user’s level of technical expertise. It also requires users to remember a master password, which can be difficult for some people. Additionally, the cost for the premium version can be prohibitive for some users.

I Simply loves using 1Password, very convenient, easy-to-use, reliable and strong hold in security. What else we need? I get to enjoy more features and my PC runs smooth if there's a password leak I'll be notified immediately if not responded swift action taken by security measures which you can set what to do, cool right? Yes, best one among the paid products. I suggest you to go claim it.
I love 1Password for it's ability to share password easily, strong encryption to protect your credentials, cross- platform synchronization and cloud sync , password generation can save your time and store them for you. I have been using 1Password since last 4 months and I never felt bad in-fact the web UI is sleek and very modern and don't consume pc resources more.
The price seems bit over when compared to other password managers out there but hey, you get more than what you pays for, dark web monitoring for credentials leak, premium class customer support and much more

1Password is a very helpful and strong tool that helps me manage my passwords.
The synchronization and integration with other apps. The iPhone app is especially good. I like the security aspects as well as the expansive 2FA options.
The cost can be a little high, and the free version is fairly limited. I think synchronization between devices should be a standard feature.

1Password has been great so far with my limited use. It helps keeps my passwords in one place and I never have to worry about forgetting my passwords.
I can keep all of my passwords in one place and generate unique passwords for every account I make on different platforms
I haven't explored much using 1Password but if I had to say something, as a user who was recommended by a family member it works well but because it is on a cloud system I would I have to notify them when a password is not uploaded e.g. wifi passwords

We often need to share passwords between users or exchange sensitive documents and 1Password allows us to do that.
The UI can be overbearing at times. It forces you to add a chrome extension and then covers up form fields with the 1Password UI.

This is a difficult question to answer, as up until recently my overall experience with 1Password has been extremely positive. However, as a result of the questionable business decisions listed above, my experience has become increasingly soured. I simply cannot and will not recommend 1Password to anyone at this point.
1Password is hands down the best password manager on the market. It has an attractive interface, multiple sync options, a flexible password generator, and a plethora of features beyond simple password management - such as secure notes, the ability to store credit card and bank account info. In addition, it is fully cross platform, with clients for the Mac, Windows, iOS, Android and even Linux. Unfortunately, no matter how good 1Password is as a password manager, due to recent changes (see below), these Pros are largely moot.
AgileBits, the owner of 1Password, has made a number of very questionable decisions over the past couple of months, making it nearly impossible for me to recommend it, despite how good the software maybe. The long and short of it is a little over a year ago, AgileBits accepted a fair amount of venture capital money, and ever since their business model has changed drastically - going from a customer...

The features I paid for in 1Password became free in it’s competitors and they had more features. As a single user, finding the free version of another product beating the paid version of the product I am using was galling. I switched (even when offered the free subscription with another bundled product). For small teams, this product was lacking so many of the features I needed
This was the clear (to me) leader in the field when I chose to replace the old solution I had fallen into many years back (when I was only concerned with windows desktop/laptops), and looked to a solution for Mac and mobile. As a single user it had all the features I needed.
It didn’t scale well to the use cases I had for multiple users or sharing. It didn’t get updated at the speed of other apps on mobile devices. It made it very hard to get my data back out of, to try competitors.

I have loved using 1Password! It has been one of the most functional resources I have used in my line of work.
1Password has been a lifesaver for me. My memory sucks, and 1 Password saves so much important information for me and has been incredibly secure through the process of protecting my passwords. I love the iOS sharing between devices, and it is amazing to have all your passwords in one place!
I hate to pay for it, but it's worth it. It isn't much for the subscription, but this is literally the only con.

Very efficient and easy to use. Saves an enormous about of time. Works well across platforms. Having a web interface with all sites you use regularly has a lot of value in addition to the password management.
1Password is very easy to use with both Windows and Android. You can also login in from the web and see a dashboard overview of all the web sites that you use and have passwords for. Passwords are easy to pop in and 1Password uses biometric login on Android phone which is quite handy.
Some apps are beginning to want to use biometric logins of their own which can be irritating since I prefer to limit this to 1Password. On occasion with the Android app, I need to enter 1Paaword app and copy a password and then go back to app where I need it (a few apps won't allow autofill.

Overall, 1Password Business is the 1Password we know and love, but it's for business. Additionally, everyone gets a 1Password Families which is a fantastic value. Plus, their support is fast and helpful.
First of all, the base product (1Password Personal) that facilitates password management, is terrific. Everything is made as easy as it can be, without sacrificing even one bit of security. It's easy to use, relatively easy to introduce into your life and then you can't live without it. The 1Password for Families is even better, because not only you can securely share passwords, but each member has...
The only drawback I can think of, is the occasional feature that the competition may have (for example, automatic changing of your weak passwords) which 1Password refuses to implement, unless there's a 100% safe way for them to do it. So, they might miss one or two smaller features, but their security is absolutely uncompromising.

I love the design. The software interface makes it a joy to use. Having the option to create multiple vaults for different areas of your life, and then enable or disable them based on the browser instance you're in is super handy for keeping logins seperate, but in the same account. Another great feature is the in-built two factor authentication. When I log into an application, it fills in the 2FA along with the username and password and saves me a heap of time - without compromising my security. Finally, the biometrics login (using your fingerprint, Face ID, Apple Watch etc.) to login to 1password is super handy. Makes for a quick and simple accessing experience.
Couple of things. I came from LastPass, which had two features I miss. Firstly, it's hard to share logins in 1password. It sorta forces you to either send a one-use clunky link via text or email, or setup a (paid) shared vault. LastPass just allowed you to invite someone and it would drop into their account. The other thing is saving logins the first time you signup for account, or access an account...

Overall, this is a kick-ass product! You pay for it though so you expect that level of premium upgrades and security. At $36/yr it's a reasonable expense at about $0.75/week to keep all your data in one place, secured. Again, with all of the ways, they allow you to access your information they really provide the most flexibility possible while keeping your information safe.
I'm still waiting for the horrible headline - "1Password Hacked". Thankfully, that day hasn't come and hopefully never will. The software is easy to use in either browser extension or full-application mode. I was able to make all of my passwords random 8-16 characters and different for every service I use. I feel much more secure than I did just a few months ago. It's easy to access across many devices once authorized. I have it on my computers, phone, and even watch. It not only allows passwords but some payment information, so that pesky credit card number you can't remember is always at hand.
Sometimes, I think it has to do with the site's form submission, you are not prompted to save the password you just entered or created. In that case, if it was generated with 1P, you can pretty easily find it in your password list and add the site domain and username. In other cases, where you created the password, 1P does not know it and you do need to manually add it yourself. These scenarios are maybe every 1-in-10 sites you create an account on.

1Password is great to work with and their support team is responsive and honest. The product works smoothly and meets or exceeds our password management needs.
I really enjoy using 1Password. It is an integral part of my workflow. My colleagues have adopted it eagerly as well and it makes day to day logins into various systems much easier. As an manager of a team of system administrators across security, cloud, and IT, one of the biggest wins 1Password gives me is a major reduction is password reset help tickets. That alone pays for the product. Combine the user experience and reduction in workload with the awareness aspect of WatchTower and it makes 1Password an obvious choice for me and an easy recommendation for my peers in the industry.
As someone who has many accounts for the same service for different purposes, the lack of ability for the browser plugin to recognize which account is in the login form for auto-filling is a bit of a nuisance. Fixing this would be a major improvement to my workflow in the day.

I LOVE 1Password, and use it everyday, for both my personal and my team (120 ppl). One other team feature I love is that with a business account every member get a free personal licence for their families. It encourages them to bring good password management habits to their homes, which is great!
First, everyone should use a password manager! It must be promoted to anyone using the internet at all. Then, among the few serious choices available, it comes down to personal preference, usability, a few functionalities that may differ. I personally selected 1Password for my team because of: - ease of use (great UI, good extensions with Chrome etc., the Mac app is great too) - user-friendly dashboard that makes the onboarding easy for new users. it was a key criteria for a team where you can met some pushback at first - some nice features like the overview of risky passwords, potential leaks, etc.
Some team management features could be added, like a better overview of logs. It would be great also to have a way to share logins 1-to-1 with another team member. I must be a design decision, but the alternative is creating a new vault shared with the co-worker, but you end up with hundreds of vaults which isn't ideal.

I use 1Password on a daily basis — at least a half-dozen times a day. Unfortunately not all websites make it easy to create accounts, and sometimes you have to use more than one login for an account. So 1Password’s easy accessibility on my Mac makes it easier to manage logins and security information.
I have been using 1Password for about a decade now, and I prefer it over Apple's Keychain application, because 1Password allows me to easily access my logins from the menu bar of my Mac or in the toolbar of my Safari web browser. 1Password is very useful for creating complicated passwords, and I could trigger a keyboard shortcut to quickly input login information when it website requires it. I also...
I would like to see 1Password include some specific features for handling data after the user has passed away or in case of emergency. For example, it would be great to have a category in which users can write out step-by-step instructions for accessing specified documents and logins, and maybe even a way for specified people to access the application on behalf of the user.

Great password management for anyone.
1Password is a great way to manage and generate strong passwords. It is available as a stand alone application for Windows, Mac and Linux, as a browser plugin for most of the popular browsers out there (like Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Brave, etc) and it has native mobile apps for iOS and Android users. Besides generating and storing passwords, it can also store secure notes, credit/debit cards,...
There is no major issue to mention here. I do have to say that pricing is a bit on the up side of things. They moved to a subscription model which it’s a bit expensive from my point of view. The good thing about their pricing structure is that you can buy a stand alone license for the current major version. This gives you lifetime access to this version and all the incremental updates that come along with it. They are pushing really hard for subscriptions and it’s harder to actually find how to purchase the stand alone license.

Very positive experience with 1Password in all the time I've used it. It's allowed me to really know and feel that my accounts are as safe as they can be, and much safer than the average person's. I like the idea of, at the very least, making myself a very difficult and undesirable target for account hacking because of this, and at most, making someone really have to work for it if they ever wanted to try to get into one of my accounts.
Before 1Password, I *know* that my accounts weren't nearly as safe. Maybe not safe at all. The fact is, there are SO many places that I have log-ins, and there is no way for me to remember unique, complicated passwords for the dozens and dozens of places I need them. The safest, most secure way to handle passwords is to have unique ones for every site (so if one site gets compromised, you don't inadvertently compromise every other site that you use that same password for). 1Password makes it actually possible for me to have strong passwords across the board in a way that I would NEVER be able to without this program.
It took me a while to figure out just how to properly use 1Password on the cloud, so that my passwords synced across devices. For a while, I had a situation where I'd have added a password to the app while using it on my phone and the password wouldn't sync to the app on my computer, for example. I did figure this out and ever since, things run smoothly. But it wasn't super intuitive. Also, for better...

I've long had a theory that website's attempts to beef up their security by requiring increasingly more complex passwords has led to a DECREASE in security. There is no way the average human can remember 50+ complex passwords, so they instead do stupid things like writing passwords on sticky notes and/or using the same password across every website they use (meaning that if one is breached, which is...
Honestly, I'm stuggling to think of anything. I work on multiple computers and therefore need things to effortlessly sync between them, and one pain point used to be a sort of fiddly and unreliable sync using Dropbox as a bridge. The syncing is now rock solid (using iCloud, Dropbox, etc.), so is no longer a problem.

I use 1Password multiples times every day for both business and personal reasons. When I first started using 1Password, I had to store my passwords in Dropbox and sync it with the application. I'm much more comfortable using 1Password now that all of my encrypted password information is only stored on 1Password's servers. Having too many locations storing and using even encrypted information can get dangerous. The features and dependability of 1Password definitely make the membership price well worth the expense. I couldn't imagine how I would keep all of my login credentials safe and up-to-date without 1Password! It's a life saver time and time again!
My absolute favorite feature is the syncing across devices. This makes it so I don't have to worry if the device I'm currently using has the most updated password stored. The password is automatically updated across all my devices instantaneously. Another feature that I like is the password generator. It saves me tons of time of not having to create a unique password for each account. I also like that you can adjust the settings on the password generator to fit the requirements for each site.
The one thing that I feel could be improved is the process of loading and accessing 1Password on a new device. It's pretty cumbersome and it's not really something you can do on the fly since you need the master code for the account. However, I do understand why it's difficult to add a new device. I don't want just anybody accessing my information on any device without my knowledge. I still think this process could be improved while still keeping it secure.

I have been using 1Password for many years and it's a software I will continue using! I appreciate that the team constantly is updating both their stable public versions of their software and allow easy access to their betas. I use 1Password on MacOS and iOS, it's easy for me to keep track of important sensitive information as well.
I wish that there was a bit more parity between the non-Silicon Chip Mac versions. It's a little confusing with the differences interfaces.
