The 1Password Story
1Password began in 2006 as a simple tool to solve a universal problem: the sheer number of passwords we need to remember. Our founder, Dave Teare, was frustrated with the options available and set out to create something better—something secure, simple, and beautiful.
From its early days as a Mac app, 1Password has grown into a comprehensive security platform trusted by millions of individuals, families, and businesses worldwide. Our journey has been driven by a single, powerful belief: technology should empower you, not expose you.
Today, 1Password is a global team of privacy advocates, designers, and engineers dedicated to building products that put you in control of your digital life. We continue to innovate, adding new features like passkeys and security monitoring, while staying true to our core mission: to make the best security tools accessible to everyone.
