These are the primary features for 1Password, but I want to highlight a few features which are unique to this particular password manager.

14-Day Free Trial: While 1Password doesn’t offer a limited free version that many other apps like Dashlane do, they still provide a 14-day trial period (down from 30 that you might see published on other reviews) where you can see if you like using the software.

As you’ll see in the next section about browser extensions, that is certainly true.

Seamlessly Integrates into Chrome, Firefox and Others: Because I don’t recommend using native browser password managers, it’s important that 1Password works well with each of these internet browsers you might use.

I’m willing to pay a few extra dollars to pay a company whose sole purpose is to do one job: secure my passwords. In addition to the fact that these only work within one specific browser only, I’m also not a big fan of trusting my password data with a company like Google whose primary source of income is building a user profile for the sake of advertising (the opposite of “privacy and security”!). You see, most internet browsers offer to store your passwords for free, such as the Google Chrome password manager.

Standalone Company: This is an interesting feature that not everybody will agree with me on.

You can use the navigation links below to jump ahead if you like: This 1Password review is broken into different section for easy reading. Obviously, 1Password falls into the latter category, which is what I’m going to explain below.

Use a password manager app: This is the easiest and, believe it or not, most secure way to manage all your online logins.

The list can get a tad unwieldy once you hit more than 50 logins to keep track of.

Write all your different passwords down: This “pen and paper” method works, but only if you’re sitting at your desk.

If somebody gets a hold of this one password, they can hack your entire online life

Use the same password for all your logins: This is one of many bad online habits you need to break.

While this is more than most, chances are that you also have more online usernames and passwords than you realize. This includes everything from banking to frequent flyer programs to my home insurance provider.
