What 1Password does

1Password stores your passwords, passkeys, payment cards, and secure notes in an encrypted vault, then autofills them when you log in to a site. It's built around shared vaults, so families or teams can give each other controlled access to specific logins without exposing an entire account.

1Password free vs paid

1Password doesn't offer a permanent free plan; instead, it provides a limited-time free trial before requiring a paid subscription. Plans are available for individuals, families, and teams or businesses, with family and team tiers adding shared vaults and administrative controls.

Is 1Password safe?

1Password needs access to page content and authentication fields to autofill your saved logins, which is standard for any password manager. Your vault is encrypted, and only you (or people you explicitly share a vault with) can access its contents through the app or extension.
