Everything you need to know about 1Password

1Password is a password manager designed to keep you safe online. It's for everyone who uses the internet—from individuals and families to businesses and developers. You want to use different, strong passwords for every website, but it can be hard to keep track of them all. With 1Password, you only ever need to memorize one password: your Master Password. All your other passwords, credit cards, secure notes, and other important information are protected behind that one password only you know.

The 1Password browser extension is officially available for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. You can install it directly from the respective browser's extension store.

Installing 1Password is simple and only takes a few moments:

1. Choose your browser from the options below.
2. Click the "Add to [Browser Name]" button, which will take you to the official browser extension store.
3. On the store page, click the "Add to [Browser Name]" or "Install" button.
4. The extension will be added to your browser. You may need to pin it to your toolbar for easy access.
5. Follow the on-screen prompts to sign in or create your 1Password account.

After installation, you can start using 1Password right away to save and fill your passwords.

Using 1Password in your browser is designed to be seamless and intuitive:

• Save Logins: When you log in to a website for the first time, 1Password will ask if you want to save your username and password. Just click "Save."
• Fill Logins: When you return to a site, click the 1Password icon in your browser toolbar and select the login you want to use. Your information will be filled in automatically.
• Generate Passwords: On sign-up pages, click the 1Password icon and choose "Generate Password" to create a strong, unique password and save it to your vault.
• Fill Forms: 1Password can also fill in your personal information, like your name, address, and credit card details, on forms across the web.

1Password requires specific permissions to function as a powerful password manager. These permissions are essential for features like auto-filling, password generation, and security auditing. The permissions include:

• Access to all websites (<all_urls>): This allows 1Password to detect login forms on any website so it can offer to save or fill your credentials.
• Read and write to the clipboard: This enables 1Password to copy one-time passwords (OTPs) or other information to your clipboard for easy pasting.
• Context menus: This adds 1Password options to your browser's right-click menu for quick access to passwords and password generation.
• Storage: This is used to cache your data locally for faster access and to keep your extension settings.
• Scripting: This allows 1Password to interact with web pages to fill forms and detect login fields accurately.
• Native Messaging: This secure communication channel is used to connect the browser extension with the 1Password app on your computer for a seamless experience.
• Web requests: This is necessary to help detect and monitor for data breaches and provide security alerts.

We request only the permissions that are absolutely necessary to provide the features you rely on. We are committed to transparency and security, and you can review our privacy policy for more details.

At 1Password, your privacy is our top priority. We believe your data is yours, and we don't want to know anything about it. This is a fundamental belief our company was built on.

Encryption: All the data you save in 1Password is encrypted using strong, industry-standard encryption. Your information is inaccessible to us—only you can access it with your unique Master Password.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture: We operate on a zero-knowledge model. This means we don't have access to your decryption key and therefore cannot read your data. We can't see your passwords, credit card numbers, or any other sensitive information you store.

Data Collection: We collect only the information necessary to provide our services and assist with troubleshooting. This includes your email address (for your account), usage information (such as when you log in), and details about your connected devices. This personally identifiable information is never shared with third parties and is only used to provide you with service and support.

Our Promise: Our privacy policy is simple: your data is your data. We don't use it, we don't share it, and we don't sell it. You're our customer, not our product.
