1Password
Store and share credentials, passkeys and sensitive work data in encrypted team vaults.
Strong encrypted vault, passkey, shared access, admin/security alert and SSH/developer workflows across devices.
Broad client coverage and polished daily workflows; secure onboarding and recovery processes still demand care.
Rates and 10-seat math are explicit but costly for sub-10-person teams and larger Business deployments.
Two-key security design, audits, business governance, MFA, identity-provider support and recovery documentation are credible, not a guarantee of perfect security.

About 1Password
1Password is a cross-platform password manager for individual and business credentials. A person can create, save and autofill logins, store passkeys, payment details, secure notes and documents, and use organization-owned vaults to share access with coworkers without sending plaintext passwords. The company describes end-to-end encryption using an account password combined with a distinct Secret Key, with authorized devices holding the information needed to decrypt a user's vault. Account onboarding and recovery therefore require deliberate handling: administrators can use approved business recovery paths but cannot simply decrypt any employee's secrets through a vendor support request. Browser extensions, desktop apps and mobile apps cover common operating systems. Business features include shared vault roles, secure links with expiration controls, guest access, credential-health alerts and developer-oriented SSH signing, CLI and tool integrations. The official US pricing page lists Teams Starter Pack at a $24.95 per month-equivalent minimum ($299.40 annually), covering up to ten users. It may display as $2.49/user/month only because the initial ten-seat package is billed as a unit; a one-person team cannot buy just one $2.49 seat under this package. Eleven through twenty users incur $4.99 per additional seat per month-equivalent with annual billing. Business costs $8.99 per person per month-equivalent when billed annually ($107.88 per user/year), with a one-user minimum, and adds broader identity-provider, provisioning, governance and monitoring options. Both products advertise a 14-day free trial without requiring a credit card for signup. The broader 1Password corporate portfolio also contains SaaS/identity/privileged-access products; do not assume those separate products are included with the standard password manager subscription. Vendor support says cancellation of a self-managed paid subscription normally keeps the account active until the paid term ends, then freezes it; previous payments and unused time are not ordinarily refunded. Business contracts managed by a representative require contract specific terms. Adoption requires the user to move passwords, install extensions and learn how vault sharing, device authorization and recovery work; it does not remove the need for phishing-resistant MFA or staff training. G2's exact 1Password review page shows 4.6/5 from about 1,820 reviews. Capterra's 1Password reviews page shows 4.7/5 from 2,129 reviews as of its October snapshot. Toollers has not stored a live secret, performed a recovery, checked tenant settings or run a security audit.
Best for
Small companies sharing account credentials, agencies managing shared logins, IT/security administrators, and developer teams requiring vault policies and SSH/CLI workflows.
1Password pros and cons
Pros
- Secure account/password storage, passkeys, autofill and shared vaults across major operating systems.
- Secret Key plus account password adds a distinct secret to the end-to-end encryption architecture.
- Ten-seat Teams Starter Pack offers a predictable annual minimum and up to ten included members.
- Business includes stronger identity-provider integration and centralized role/permission management.
- Guest vaults and expiring share links help share access with external collaborators when configured correctly.
- Developer SSH/Git signing, CLI and SDK tooling can reduce secrets pasted into engineering workflows.
- 14-day free business trial and published US prices make a small deployment easy to cost out.
- Watchtower and admin reporting on eligible tiers surface compromised, weak or reused credentials.
Cons
- −No ongoing free password manager plan is available for business use; the free access is time limited.
- −Teams Starter Pack bills a ten-seat minimum even if fewer employees need it.
- −Users 11–20 on Teams Starter Pack cost extra per seat and the package cannot extend past 20.
- −Business's $8.99 per-user annual rate adds up for larger organizations.
- −Identity-provider provisioning and advanced monitoring differ by plan and product; do not infer every portfolio product is bundled.
- −Secret Key handling, recovery setup, device verification and vault permissions require employee training.
- −Password autofill behavior can differ across browsers, device controls and unusual websites.
- −Ordinary self-serve cancellations do not entitle customers to a prorated refund of annual charges.
