What makes 1Password so secure
1Password security goes far beyond end-to-end encryption. We’ve taken additional steps to limit your exposure to threats outside of 1Password. Learn about our security model.
Unique dual-key encryption
Your account is secured with two powerful layers of protection: a password – which we never store and only you know – and a 128-bit encrypted Secret Key.
Protect data in transit
Secure Remote Password authenticates your account without sending your credentials over the Internet. This prevents anyone from stealing your data while it’s in transit.
Alerts you to security breaches
Watchtower alerts you to password breaches and other security problems with your saved items.
Only works in verified browsers
1Password only fills your details after it verifies that your browser has been signed by an identified developer.
Removes secrets from your clipboard
To prevent people or clipboard tools from learning your secrets, 1Password regularly removes item details from the clipboard.
Always requires your input
To protect your data from shoulder surfers and browser-based attacks, 1Password only displays or fills data when you tell it to.
