It's a long time ago, but when I tried using the password management application "1Password", it was really convenient!

It's a must-have item for careless people like me.

How do you manage passwords, everyone? Since I was a kid, I haven't been very careful, so I made three passwords that combined numbers and alphabets related to myself in the past, and used them roughly according to "important", "a little important", and "don't care". I did. Of course, the storage place is in my head. In other words, I was memorizing it.

However, when the iPhone broke down and I changed the model during this time, the login information of all services was reset once, and I had no choice but to log in again, but all the passwords were flipped. The combination of numbers and alphabets was different from what I expected, and the password for the old service was completely different ... I had a lot of trouble.

That's why I really thought. You can't just remember it in your brain. Therefore, "1Password" was recommended by the editorial staff.

Password is entered with a single tap

Developed by his Canadian Agile Bits Inc, 1Password is an app that saves and automatically fills in the ID and password required to log in to web services.

If you remember one "master password" to log in to 1Password and register the ID and password of each service in 1Password, you are ready to go. After that, touch the password input field of the application or web service → touch 1Password displayed on the keyboard → biometric authentication, the registered ID and wasword will be entered with a pop. What was the difficulty of typing passwords that are hidden character by character?

Of course, there is no need to worry about the stored information being provided to a third party, and security is assured. It can be used on iPhone and Android devices as well as Mac and Windows PCs, and it can also be used as an extension of Google Chrome.

"Automatic password generation function" that does not require you to think about passwords

In addition, 1Password also has an automatic password generation function. If you don't want to reuse your password, but can't think of it anymore, you may be a savior.

In addition, the security monitoring function "Watchtower" will notify you when there is a risk of password leakage on a specific website or service. So you don't have to worry about "Your password was leaked without your knowledge!"

Just be careful about managing the master password and Emergency Kit!

The first thing to keep in mind when using 1Password is to remember your master password. The security of 1Password is so robust that you can only log in with your master password and biometrics.

In case you forget your master password, you will receive a PDF documented "Emergency Kit" of login information such as "master password, secret code, QR code". 1Password recommends storing this offline, so it's a good idea to print it out.

There is a 14-day free trial period.

There are two types of 1Password, "1Password" for individuals and "1Password family" that can be shared by up to 5 family members. Subscription-based, priced at $ 2.99 and $ 4.99, respectively (for annual plans). Both have a 14-day free trial period, so you can try out the usability. Moreover, you don't have to register your credit card information during the free period, so you inadvertently passed the free period and got a subscription fee! There is no need to worry.

There are also password management apps other than 1password

In addition to "1password", password management apps have famous features such as "Lastpass" and "Bitwarden", and recently password management functions have been added to existing services such as Dropbox and Microsoft Authenticater. There are more choices, such as being done.

If you don't have password management yourself, give it a try!
