1Password: Password Manager

What 1Password is and who it suits

1Password is a password manager for Android that stores logins, passkeys and other sensitive details in vaults. Its main job is keeping a separate, strong password for every account and filling it in when you need it.

It suits people with many online accounts who want their passwords, payment cards and personal records in one place. The listing also describes plans for businesses and families.

Generating and autofilling passwords

The built-in generator creates random passwords with a tap, and the app saves them to your vault. Autofill then fills in your username and password in Chrome and other browsers, and in apps that sign you in.

The listing says the same vault also works as a browser extension and a desktop app on other operating systems. You can store Google and other provider sign-ins from your Android device there too, so those logins autofill the same way.

Two-factor codes and passkeys

1Password creates and autofills the one-time codes that services use for two-factor authentication. You do not need a separate authenticator app for those sites, and you do not copy the code across by hand.

For sites that support passkeys, the app can generate and save one in place of a password. You can also use a passkey to unlock 1Password itself.

Storing cards, notes and personal records

Beyond logins, the vault holds credit cards, secure notes, banking details and medical records. The listing says you can store anything else you want to protect there as well.

Everything in the vault is available on any device where you have the app, according to the listing.

Sharing, breach alerts and Travel Mode

You can share items from the vault with people who do not use 1Password, for a set time. The listing gives Wi-Fi details and financial information as examples, so they stay out of email and messaging apps.

Biometric unlock is available, and Watchtower sends real-time alerts when one of your accounts shows up in a data breach. Travel Mode temporarily hides chosen vaults and restores them when you return. The developer says it cannot see the contents of your vault.

The listing offers a 14-day free trial, after which you pick a paid plan for yourself or your business.
