After that it's cleaning up a single login entry per day with stuff like attached email, credit card, etc.

After that is effectively complete, then it's changing a single password per day to something complex and secure using their password generator. This prevents them from being overwhelmed by that initial and helps establish facilities with the app. My system was to have to input a single name, username, and password for a website or app per day. I remember it being a bit overwhelming when I first started using 1P, but Keychain was (and is) far too anemic for my needs. It's also easier for me to reset their master password remotely if they forget 🤦‍♂️ and to have shared vaults for the items that are used between one of more family members.

I have them send me $12 for the year via Apple Pay Cash and help them set it up. As the one that has to deal with everyone's technical issues anyway, I created a family account and have put pretty much everyone on my family plan. I'm fine with it and it's now less costly for me at $1 per month. Keep in mind, it isn’t uncommon for me to hear people complain about paying $1 a month for 50GB of iCloud storage, so $3 is just crazy talk to them. Now that 1Password needs a monthly payment people balk even more, especially since Keychain does the job for most people. Once I showed them how it worked for me it became easier but not always. It was a little bit of a tough sell because many didn’t want to shell out $50 for, well, any software. I used to recommend 1Password to people all the time. I wish they hadn’t gone the subscription route. Not a huge deal, but still a level of inconvenience, and breaking them all out individually for that Secure Note would clutter up that section too much. I buy add new vehicles and other pertinent data in Secure Notes that require listed a lot of detail, but they keep being placed below one another further down which adds time to find the newer items. I'd also like to be able to move Sections around, not just the label and items within a section.

I've made my own detailed system in the Secure Notes section, but a pre-set category would made this easier. I've made countless recommendations over the years that have been implemented (I'm sure I wasn't neither the only one or first to make the suggestion), but one thing they haven't implemented is an areas for recording your health in detail with expiry dates that let you know from the app with a notification and/or a calendar entry.įor example, keeping a detailed list of a tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis shot, which will remind me when 10 years is about to expire. Now I essentially have 2 parallel password files. Up until Apple allowed password managers to better integrate with iOS I was using keychain more often simply because it worked so much better with my iPad and iPhone. I wish it would coordinate better with Keychain though. It’s a great program and much more powerful than keychain.

I started using 1Password years ago when Apple ditched MobileMe keychain syncing.
