1Password vs. Google Cloud Identity

1Password is a great tool when it comes to data security and managing your passwords. It is perfect for daily work that requires accessing a lot of different login credentials to different softwares, servers etc., so it is a great tool for all web developers and programmers, but also to project managers and other employees that have to login to multiple different services regularly.

For example, if the system you are building is a general application service that does not primarily focus on ID management, it would be wise to use a service like Google's rather than developing your own IDaaS. While there may be cases where an IDaaS other than Google's is acceptable, Google is likely one of the best solutions when considering user recognition and ease of use. On the other hand, Gmail addresses are commonly used for other purposes, and users may not pay much attention to password management, so you should avoid using them for systems that require security. To strengthen security, you should consider making multi-factor authentication mandatory, etc.

• Convenient secure access to my passwords anywhere.
• Auto-generates secure long random passwords I would never be able to remember with so many I have to keep track of.
• It's a small thing, but the numbers and punctuation are shown in different colors so you never need to wonder if it's a zero or a capital O.
• Keywords let me organize my passwords however I want, by client, by function, whatever, the choice is up to me.
• A handy place to keep contacts and all kinds of other data besides just passwords. Can add any fields I want, even attach files in the secure vault.

• Two-factor authentication available.
• The Google authentication method is familiar to many users.
• It is expected that it will also support authentication methods that will become common in the future.

• 1Password is so secure, that it lacks a self-managed "forget your password" functionality which means that as a manager, I have to approve password resets which may slow down some users.
• On Chrome, the extension sometimes stops working when the browser is updated.

• This time, I investigated it in advance, and it worked as expected, so I don't have any specific ideas for improvement.
• Additionally, if we were using another IDAAS, it would have been beneficial to have knowledge on how to integrate it with Google tools, along with some relevant case studies.

1Password is a great password manager and it helps us a lot in our every day duties at the company. Since implementing this solution we also feel way more secure when it comes to our own data or the data of our Clients.

The 1Password app design is top notch, much better than a couple other password managers I've looked at. The app and service are very flexible, allowing for many different types of data storage. The browser extensions generally work very well, allowing for easy access to login information while using pretty much any modern web browser.

I chose Google because I thought it would be the best fit, but I didn't fully consider other cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.), so I rated it 8. We assume that current Japanese users are familiar with Google, because we feel that there are far more people with Google email addresses than those with IDs on other cloud services.

I have never had any issues with 1Password and they have always been able to answer my questions adequately resolve my issues. Furthermore, they have a robust peer forum that can be accessed. They have helpful "Get to know Apps", videos and many articles to assist in the process of using the product.

1Password and LastPass are presently quite comparable in terms of the feature set they offer to their users. Unfortunately, it is their pricing models that differ, and is the only reason we felt the need to switch to LastPass from 1Password. LastPass simply offered better pricing for their business tier k(cheaper by $1/user/month.)

We adopted Google Cloud Identity as an additional feature because it allowed us to integrate with it using multi-factor authentication. The IBM Cloud platform remains valid, and we have no plans to discontinue its use for identity management. From the user's perspective, we simply added more authentication options. This also ensures we are prepared for future use when multi-factor authentication becomes available for user apps on the IBM Cloud.

• It saves time, and time is a very expensive resource.
• The account details and the sensitive business information in safe behind the 1Password encoding, while staying accessible to stakeholders
• The password generation is a secure and quick way to help employees register new services on their own.

• From a business perspective, there were two steps.
• First, we switched from our in-house ID management system to a cloud service. This allowed us to focus our development resources on application development.
• At the same time, we were able to localize the handling of personal information, which resulted in increased efficiency in management aspects, including handling external inquiries, and in the development of encryption.
• The second step was adding Google Cloud Identity as an option.
• This allows more users to easily use our services. It can be said that this has improved user convenience.
• I expect Google to accommodate future changes in authentication requirements, such as biometric authentication.
