1Password - Password Manager and Secure Wallet App Reviews

TWO FACTOR+

First of all, Ive seen all your arguments about why you dont want to support two-factor, but the bottom line is that its not about the security of my password alone, but about authenticating myself to the service Im trying to log into - which they cant do from their end with only a password. If for example, Google were breached, anyone with their database would potentially have my password - so no matter how secure my password was, it wouldnt provide authentication to Google. But if Google saw that this was a new device and asked for a one-time token, my account would still be secure! I plan to use two-factor authentication wherever its offered, and a time-based, one-time token is the most secure way to do this right now. That means I have to use a separate app in order to generate the code. WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT EASIER, AND PUT THAT FUNCTIONALITY INTO THE APP I USE TO RETRIEVE MY PASSWORD! It seems that almost every tenth review is asking for this functionality, and you want to give us everything EXCEPT what we asked for! Also, I LIKE the idea of having an app that allows ME to INDEPENDENTLY control my passwords (with all the responsibility that brings) without allowing for ANY outside recovery, backup or recourse - because thats the most secure way to do it. You guys used to allow us to buy the app once, and manage our own security from then on. Now you seem to be marketing to the lowest common denominator. How about making it easier for those of us who actually care about real security to use your tool to secure our own stuff? I wouldnt mind features like two-factor that allow me to more easily add security to my accounts, but the last thing I want is more ways to share my passwords, or store my passwords online. Also, paying a third party a subscription fee for access to my passwords is wrong on SO many levels - but if you really want to do that, theres always LastPass... For the sake of clarity, 1Password was the first app I paid for on iOS in about 2008, and right now I still have 1Password 3.7.2 and 1Password Pro 3.7.2 on my device alongside the current ones, and I had been using it on the Mac before iOS from about version 1.4.2. However, it seems that over the last 2 years or so, youve been gearing up toward a subscription model, and now that its here, you want to discourage everyone from going standalone. I wouldnt be at all surprised if two years from now, you were subscription only - I see a parallel in the way LogMeIn discontinued Ignition in favor of their new app - which left a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths. But now I may end up with them since they purchased LastPass, and if I end up having to have a subscription-based password manager, I guess Ill just pay the $12 per year for LastPass rather than 5 times as much for essentially the same thing here. At least with them I wont have to beg for two-factor...

The BEST!!

Ive been using this app for a couple of years. Its been a lifesaver on many occasions in not only helping me remember my passwords but for also generating passwords for new apps or when I need to change a password in apps I currently have. I also like that you can save notes etc in it and everything is secure!

Dunno how I lived without it

The app is easy to use, but remains highly flexible. The devs are responsive and thoughtful, caring about accessibility on top of security. Its saved me more than one headache.

No subscriptions

Would be nice if I could just use it to write down all the passwords I already have, for free. No free level at all. I will NEVER use a subscription based app. I dont want all those features. I just want to write down my log in info!

Lousy service

Very confusing and tech advice was convoluted. No way to talk to some who could walk you though as opposed to going in circles. There has to be a better way.

Extremely slow to respond to emails

Have an issue with the app that makes it unusable. Tried to email support. No response for months. Not impressed with the support. Update: I received support via email and they helped me fix the issues I had with the app. Raising star rating to 3.

A must have!

Great password manager. I cant run my office (nor life) without 1Password.

Simply the best

I have used 1Password for several years, on Mac and iOS devices, and it is simply the best way to keep passwords and other sensitive data private and secure. There are several imitators, but nothing like 1Password.

The more you use it...

The more I use this app, the less at risk I feel, and the more secure I am in knowing I have access to my secure passwords from anywhere I have an internet connection. I was a big idiot with One password for EVERYTHING, and this app helped change that. Thank you so much.

Poor decision for users to remove parental controls from browser

The decision to remove the support of parental controls in the current version of 1Password has resulted in the application being disabled on all of my own devices and my familys devices. We all enable blocking of explicit content even on the adult devices. I now have to find an alternative.

Love it but disappointed

I love the app but disappointed that now its a 17+ app. On purpose I have restricted my phone from entering unwanted sites and because of the age restriction on this app Ive cannot download it. Now I have to find another app. Ive looked at some of the reviews on this app and a considerable amount of subscribers are also disappointed with this 17+ restriction. Please reconsider and appeal to the demand of your customers.

So great.

My outboard brain is so much better with 1Password. Constantly and consistently improved with each release, I hope I never have to live without it again.

Great app and so much more

1 Password is an amazing app that can work across all your devices to help you "remember" passwords. You will never actually remembers all but the 1 password and you know you have good security when other people look at your passwords and ask how you remember them - simple I dont. 1 password does and they also generate the random tough to guess and crack passwords. It cant promise to keep you from ever being hacked or having your password guessed but it makes it a lot more difficult and this making you a less likely target.

Makes life so easy and secure

Its been 2 years since I started using 1Password. This is incredible. All of my accounts are secure with random passwords. Everything syncs between my devices. I even convinced my family to start using it instead of keeping their passwords on post-its.

Disappointed

This is a Canadian Company offering prices in USD only. This is for they do not lose out on currency differences but you the user do. You wouldnt walk into a Canadian store and pay USD. They even tax Canadians in USD. Say what you want 1Password this is still wrong.

Great until phone upgrade

I upgraded my phone and now I can not log in. There is no way to retrieve "Your Secret Key". Now I have to start all over. I am happy it is secure, but there should be an easier way.

A Ture Necessity

I dont typically write app reviews, but 1Password deserves it. I have been using the standalone app for at least 2 years now. And joined their affordable yearly subscription program recently so I can access my passwords anywhere. Ive never had a problem with their applications, and have invested my trust that my data is secure, and it is. One feature I like to use is the password generator. It creates completely random character strings that are unguessable even if you know about me deeply. This way I can guarantee that my accounts are safe. It also gives me warning when its been a while since I have updated my password for a certain account. The setup process is extremely easy, and you get started right away. I wish I had developed 1Password myself. This definitely is an essential app to have on your phone, tablet, and computer.

One App To Rule Them All

I dont do reviews, but this app is that critical. Its the one app if had to choose just one at gunpoint it would be 1 PASSWORD. So do yourself a favor and read why this app is a heavyweight and worth every penny and much more. Tired of recording, updating, and losing your username and passwords? Have a free app you use that solves that for you? Using paper and pen heaven forbid. BIG MISTAKE! you are missing out on loads of features that once realized you would never relinquish. 1 PASSWORD solves a world where family members, friends, members of a team, co-workers etc are forced to access secure sites, locks, safes.... In an age where our lives revolve around logins and passwords you need a true password Mgr. 1 PASSWORD has a large team with dedicated employees that exclusively update and improve this app that I have used for years. Seamlessly and securely organize and sync across all your devices including laptops, tablets, and Apple Watch automatically. With a single tap of your finger your browser opens, navigates to the site where your username and password are automatically populated and bingo you dont even hit enter and you are in. Organize your logins however you please. Folders, tags, categories. PAYING BILLS IS A BREEZE with a bills folder or tag. Ever lose your wallet or purse and need to cancel credit cards, replace insurance cards and licenses, etc. Tag these items with wallet and lose your wallet worry free. Select your "wallet tag" and all your credit cards with phone numbers are at your fingertips with phone numbers to cancel them, insurance cards, licenses, etc all listed so you know what to replace. Segment by work, home, family member, co worker or dont and use keyword search. Customize each login with categories of information from phone numbers to account numbers, log in questions with answers. A section for notes to record whatever you deem relevant. For example you have a credit card and want easy access to reward benefit info or the date a promotional rate ends. Record it here. These features and many many many more. I use it every day. 1 PASSWORD IS WHATEVER YOU AND A SPOUSE, etc NEED IT TO BE. ITS INFINITELY CUSTOMIZABLE, RELIABLE, AND AVAILABLE WHEREVER YOU NEED IT ON ANY DEVICE YOU NEED IT. MOST IMPORTANTLY ... ITS 100 PERCENT SECURE.

indispensible tool

Id be lost without having my 1Password data available to me on all my devices.

17+ rating will not work

Loved this product until you changed rating to 17+. Cant use because I dont have my phone set that way. Will have to consider something else soon unless you fix real quick. I have been recommending this but this will be the end of that I guess. You guys talk about using this with families... well.. make it family friendly then. Just make it available without the browser. I seldom used it anyway.
