What it is

1Password is a password manager for individuals, teams, and businesses. Work accounts let an administrator create shared folders, decide who can open each one, help users recover access, and review security warnings without sending passwords through email or chat.

Ways to use it

Ideas from real executive operations work. Take the ones that fit.

  • Create separate shared folders for executive, finance, people, travel, and vendor accounts.
  • Give a contractor access only to the logins required for the assignment.
  • Store account recovery codes and record who is allowed to use them.
  • Remove a departing team member and change any passwords they could access.
  • Review security warnings and outdated access during a quarterly audit.

Our take

1Password is a practical baseline when an executive office shares access to many services. Its value comes from clear folder ownership, limited access, and recurring reviews. Avoid one large folder that gives everyone access to every account.
