1Password Password Manager

The 1Password password manager allows users to easily organize all of their work passwords in one secure, central location; and with the 1Password app available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Chrome, Firefox, and more, the passwords are always right at their fingertips!

Features/Benefits

  • Password reuse can be a thing of the past with the built-in password generator that enables the user create unique and complex passwords for all their accounts!
  • Sharing passwords across a team is simple thanks to the ability to use 1Password Groups and Shared Vaults.
  • The challenge of keeping work and personal passwords separate is simplified with the included 1Password Family account that enables users to create password Vaults that can be shared with up to 5 family members.

Enduser Enrollment

To aid in the process of getting started with 1Password, a new AD3 Managed Group has already been setup for each CAES Department that gives the department IT Lead/Manager the ability to onboard their users to the service via uInform Group Management [1].

Once a user is added to the AD3 Managed Group, and the change is synced to 1Password, the user will receive an invitation email from 1Password to activate their account.

Vault Management

1Password Vault permissions are controlled using 1Password Groups named "CAES-<DEPT>: <Use Case>".

Please submit a CAES - 1Password Vault or Group Request if you need any of the following:

  • Create a new 1Password Vault
  • Create a new 1Password Group [2]
  • Share a 1Password Vault with a 1Password Group
