1Password is the polished option: fast autofill, a well-designed app, passkey support, and a separate secret store for API keys and credentials that are not website logins. Travel mode and breach monitoring are genuinely useful. It is paid only, with no free tier beyond a trial.
Who it is for
A small company that wants shared credentials with per-vault permissions and audit trails.
Key features
- Passkey storage and autofill
- Separate vault for API keys and secrets
- Travel Mode removes vaults from devices
- Watchtower breach monitoring
- SSO and provisioning on Business
- No free tier, trial only
Where it falls short
The subscription is per person, and the lack of a free tier makes it hard to recommend to someone who will not pay for security software.
Pricing
No free tier beyond a trial; individual plans are around $3 a month and business around $8 per user, with Secrets Automation billed separately.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on 1Password.
