More than a password manager.

Frequently asked questions

What is a password manager?

1Password makes it easy to generate, store, and autofill passwords for all your online accounts, on all your devices. Because weak and reused passwords are a leading cause of security incidents, using a password manager is an easy way to protect yourself, your family, or your business.

1Password is also much more than a password manager. It can safely store your sensitive documents, banking information, medical records, SSH keys (for developers), and many other secrets. It’s easy to share those items and collaborate securely, too. Plus, membership comes with a ton of perks, like Masked Email integration from Fastmail, signing in with other providers like Apple and Google, and actionable security recommendations from Watchtower.

Do I need to be connected to the internet to use 1Password?

You don’t need internet access to use 1Password. While 1Password uses the cloud to make your data available on each of your devices, those devices maintain a local copy for fast access, so you can use 1Password offline. If you do use 1Password without an internet connection, your data will be updated to the latest version once you’re back online.

Does 1Password store passwords in the cloud?

1Password uses the cloud to make your data available on all your devices, without compromising on security – and keeps a copy of that data on each device for fast access. Your data, including vault name and website URLs, is fully encrypted on our servers. Even if an attacker were to breach our servers, they wouldn’t be able to read your data without your account password and Secret Key – neither of which are known to or stored by us.
