1password Enterprise Features

[Patrizia Leones]

Thisfeature has been talked about before, but it has not come up in the last year that I could see. "Templates" I assume refers to the "New Item" categories, such as "Login", "Driver License", "Medical Card", etc. What is the status of creating custom templates, and does it work in the mobile app yet? Our company would need this feature in order to make the jump to 1Password for Business.

No news to share in the area of allowing the creation of custom categories that act as templates. That said, we do currently offer those using 1Password Business access to optional beta features that can enabled. One such feature is Custom Templates. These allow you to create an entirely new category, with the appropriate field types of your choosing, or add custom fields to most existing categories.

However, it's worth noting that this feature is still in beta and hasn't seen all that much attention in the last few years. Because of this, there are some limitations and missing functionality so this specific feature is not something to extensively rely on.

If this is a major road block for adopting 1Password in your organization, I'd highly encourage you to contact our Business team. They can work with you to address any concerns and requirements for your organization. You can contact them at busi...@1password.com.

+1 for this feature. I really had to laugh when I saw "drivers license" as a category for a business item in a business account. To be honest 1password is really lacking some basic business features. It would be awesome for us as well if we could add custom categories. (since we basically do setup the same items over and over again)

To keep things simple, all item categories are available in each 1Password account type, including the "Drivers License" category. I do see the value in being able to add custom categories beyond the current capability with the beta feature in 1Password Business.

Thank you for your answer @ag_max . Yeah sure the beta things is an option but a company with a certain size does not use beta features that are marketed as "don't rely on it". So it would be nice if custom templates would get finally stable status.

You can also store and autofill time-based one-time passwords (TOTPs): that six-digit string of numbers that you enter after your username and password. Instead of relying on separate authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, all you need is 1Password.

And you have a number of ways to organize all your personal information. 1Password will automatically organize items according to their type, or you can create tags to help you organize items by theme.

Your items are stored within vaults in 1Password, each with its own permission settings. Your personal vault contains items that are just for you, and you can create shared vaults to give other 1Password users access to the contents of the vault.

1Password is available on desktop devices for Mac, Windows, and Linux, mobile devices running iOS and Android, and as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Safari. All information you store in 1Password is available on all your desktop and mobile devices, instantly.

While shared vaults are useful for long-term collaboration within a family or organization, secure item sharing is built for more granular, temporary sharing. You can share the Wi-Fi passwords with the visiting in-laws, for example, or share a password with a contractor who will only need access to it for a short while.

The Secret Key and account password are combined to create the full encryption key that encrypts all the data you store in 1Password. This approach is known as 2-Secret Key Derivation (2-SKD). Attackers would need both keys to access your 1Password vaults, which is why your 1Password data would be safe even in the unlikely event of a breach.

1Password also uses a third layer of encryption known as the Secure Remote Password (SRP) in addition to the industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS). SRP proves to the server that you know your account password and Secret Key. But, crucially, you never actually have to share them with the server, which prevents anyone from trying to steal that information in transit.

1Password Business adds enterprise-grade features like integration with identity providers to unlock 1Password with single sign-on (SSO) and automate provisioning, custom reports and customizable security policies, SIEM tool integration, and actionable insights to proactively reduce risk and prevent threats.

And LastPass, too, gives users a way to monitor their overall security health with the security dashboard. The dashboard will calculate an overall security score and let you know if you need to update weak or reused passwords.

LastPass includes the ability to share passwords with others more securely than conventional methods like messaging and email. There are several options here: one-to-one sharing, one-to-many sharing, and shared folders.

LastPass, like 1Password, utilizes zero-knowledge encryption, which means that only you know your Master Password, and LastPass does not. The encryption method involves 256-bit AES encryption, a secure hash (SHA256), and salting.

The hash ensures that the data (in this case the Master Password) is authentic. Salting adds additional value to the end of the password. Together, hashing and salting make the password cracking process more complicated. (1Password also utilizes hashing and salting to protect your data.)

LastPass offers free and premium plans for individuals and families. The free plan is limited to one user on one device type (desktop or mobile), and sharing is limited to sharing with one trusted LastPass user.

The premium plan, at $3 per month, adds one-to-many sharing and unlimited devices, among other features. The Families account includes up to six users at $4 per month, and adds a family manager dashboard and unlimited shared folders.

For businesses, LastPass Teams includes up to 50 users for $4 per user per month. That includes features like a private vault for each user, shared folders, a security dashboard, and multi-factor authentication.

LastPass Business adds SSO integration (including three SSO apps with MFA), custom security policies, and customizable user management (among other features) for unlimited users for $7 per user per month.

The 1Password security model is meaningfully different. 2-Secret Key Derivation, encrypting the entirety of your vaults, and Secure Remote Password provide protection you can feel good about. The same careful security design also applies to Unlock with SSO.

I too have a 1Password Teams account with Early Earl. That was a fantastic deal wasn't it? You'll get to keep the Early Earl pricing as well as the Pro account. Accounts that were on Pro will stay on Pro going forward unless you decide to switch to 1Password Teams or 1Password Business.

If you upgrade from the 1Password Teams Pro plan to 1Password Business each team member will have the ability to have a 1Password Families membership for them and their family at no cost so long as they remain a part of the 1Password Business membership.

Is the free 1Password Families membership included in 1Password Teams Pro (Early Earl) or just 1Password Business?

Ben's reply above is confusing (he agrees Pro plan includes personal family plan but then references Business membership)

@holgr: It really depends on the situation. The best thing to do would be to contact the business team so they can go over the options with you and answer any questions you have: busi...@1password.com :chuffed:

It had not occurred to me about asking for Early Earl's Special on 1Password Teams Pro. I would think having two accounts (Families and Teams) is overkill. Is there a feature comparison of the various subscription versions?

We don't have a comparison of 1Password Families vs 1Password Teams / 1Password Business as they are marketed to entirely different audiences, but if you have specific questions about what is included in one vs another we'd be happy to try and answer that. Again though the folks best situated to help with questions about 1Password Business are our business team, which can be reached at busi...@1password.com.

Should we email sa...@1passord.com or busi...@1password.com? We are also on Teams Pro with Early Earl and would like some of the additional reporting features and AD integration. I suppose we can stay on Teams Pro for the time being since the price is much better.

@Cartman: Either sa...@1password.com or busi...@1password.com are fine. "Sales" is slightly more general for questions about the different options, but they're all ultimately going to the same place, so we'll get you to the right folks to help based on the situation regardless. Cheers! :)

Last year, I looked at a few of the different methods enterprises could employ for a passwordless experience. One option was password vaulting, which is ideal if you use websites or older applications that lack the ability to use SAML or OAuth.

I covered some of the bigger names that offer password vaulting products, such as Okta and Google. I wanted to look at another name that most people are familiar with in the consumer space that offers password vaulting, 1Password.

Vaulting can be a way to protect your organization and get better buy-in from employees who might be disinclined to use MFA and other security features due to the poor user experience they can sometimes create.

This vendor does more than just consumer password vaulting, offering 1Password Business and Enterprise Password Manager products. Confusingly, both offer the exact same services, the latter is just for enterprise-sized organizations, which means a custom quote versus the $7.99/mo. cost of 1Password Business.

With 1Password, users and groups get access to vaults, which contain their passwords and related account information. A local copy of the vault is saved onto the device, which users can consult if they need a specific password. To speed up the process of inputting passwords into login pages, users will also need to install the browser extension (available for all major browsers) that will allow them to autofill credentials.
