Overall Satisfaction with 1Password
I use 1Password personally and across our team. It helps maintain security while also allowing the sharing of the passwords across the team. We tried different solutions before with previous companies and it was always a nightmare.
- It makes the storing and creating of the passwords super simple. You don't need to login to the website and input them or track them manually, it sees you are at a login page and asks you if you want to store it/create a new password/auto fill from the already stored data.
- The chrome extension makes life so easy. Everything happens automatically. But of course, if you have separate chrome profiles for different purposes, you have to install the chrome extensions for each and setup.
- Being able to login to 1Password and "reveal" passwords, or directly copy them is hugely important. And 1Password is great at that. Sleek.
- Having different "vaults" is also awesome. Especially if you're storing passwords for different needs.
- With some pop-ups, 1Password won't' show up at all. So you can't use the system to log in. And it gets downhill from there, especially if you have used 1Password to generate passwords for you and you have no idea what your password actually is. You need to login to the website of 1passwords and copy/paste your password. It gets incredibly frustrating if you're on your mobile OR if you're in a rush/need to login asap.
- I have a 1password account for myself personally and we also use it companywide. I am not sure how to be logged in to them both at the same time. So I had google chrome to remember the password for most work related stuff so I don't have to juggle between accounts.
- Maybe have a way to carry over/copy passwords from one account to another?
- I can't say 1Password has monetary ROI directly, but it definitely keeps things organized and people sane, so indirectly the ROI is huge.
At my previous company, we developed our own software, which was an utterly bad idea. Why re-invent the wheel, and do a bad job at it? We also tried saving things on chrome (Google) individually. We also tried Atlassian's Confluence at some point. That didn't work well either.
