Most businesses create and use a lot of passwords to keep their confidential information secure. They’re used to protect the office Wi-Fi network, as well as access important work accounts, encrypted files, software licenses, employee IDs, and more. With 1Password Teams and 1Password Business, you can safely store and organize all of your business’s passwords, as well as protect them from potential cyber threats. 1Password is flexible enough to support your business as it grows and evolves, and simple enough for any member of your team to use, regardless of how tech-savvy they are.

How can 1Password protect my business?

Every team member has access to personal vaults to store their passwords and other valuable information, like:

Credit and debit card numbers
Documents
Secure notes
Software licenses Alarm or door codes
SSH private keys

The contents of these vaults are never visible to anyone else, including 1Password. Employees can also choose to share vaults with other team members and grant read-only or full editing access to those they’re sharing with.

Everything in 1Password is protected by a robust security model. Team members can protect their 1Password account with two-factor authentication (2FA), which will send special one-time passwords to an authenticator app like Authy or Microsoft Authenticator. Staff can also use 1Password as a quick and secure authenticator for any saved account that supports 2FA.

Sharing passwords and other sensitive information via text, email, or a messaging app can put your business at risk. So, what happens when you need to work with an independent contractor, or another external party? That’s where our Password Secure Sharing Tool (Psst!) comes in. 1Password’s secure sharing is a convenient way to share nearly any vault item with anyone, even those who don’t use 1Password.

How does Psst! work?

Psst! gives you complete control over who has access to your information, and for how long. The tool lets you generate a link to the item that can be shared anywhere. Crucially, you can choose whether anyone with the link can see what’s inside, or restrict it to people with specific email addresses. You can also choose when the link expires, so you can feel safe knowing that only a verified party has permission to view your information.

Use a password manager to organize your team

With 1Password Teams and 1Password Business, you can split team members into groups and manage which credentials they can access. Managers and IT administrators can add, remove, and transfer group members at any time, and drill-down to manage what individual people are able to see and use. You can also restrict access to specific IP addresses, controlling who is able to retrieve credentials outside the office and preventing leaks from unsecured sources.

1Password makes it simple to both onboard employees and securely revoke access if they leave. When someone joins your company, you can give them access to the passwords they need by adding them to one or many appropriate groups. If they leave, you can easily close their 1Password account and change any shared passwords they had access to. The rest of your team will immediately have access to the updated credentials, and may not even notice they’ve changed because 1Password will simply autofill the new versions the next time they log in.

Make logins secure without slowing your team down

1Password takes care of your team’s password frustrations altogether, sparing precious company time for more productive activities. The human-centric design allows anyone to generate and reset passwords in minutes, rather than struggling to come up with a new unique password they may end up forgetting.

1Password will also autofill saved credentials wherever they’re needed. That means your team members won’t waste time typing or searching for a specific business password. 1Password is available on all of your team members’ devices and keeps information in sync, ensuring critical information can always be reached easily. An enterprise password manager also means fewer password-related calls to IT, which will allow everyone to focus on other more pressing issues.

Stay secure and productive

With 1Password Teams and 1Password Business, users don’t have to rely on scraps of paper and old spreadsheets to remember their credentials. Instead, they can embrace a password manager that makes it fast and convenient to store, retrieve, and securely share credentials with team members and other trusted partners.
