1Password review

1Password is the most guided way to move a household onto a password manager. Families includes everything in Individual plus up to 5 family members, unlimited shared vaults and simple admin controls to add, remove or recover members, which matters when someone forgets their account password. Security combines the account password with a Secret Key, and Watchtower flags weak or reused passwords and breached websites. Travel mode hides selected vaults at borders, and you can share an item with anyone, even people without an account, with expiry and history. Apps cover macOS, iOS, watchOS, Windows, Android and Linux. On pricing, the first year is promotional: Individual is $2.99 and Families $4.49 a month billed yearly, against regular prices of $3.99 and $5.99. Small teams can buy the Teams Starter Pack at $24.95 a month billed annually for up to 10 members. There is no free plan, so it costs more over time than Bitwarden.
