Why 1Password?

Your Master Password

This is the ONE password you need to memorize. Make it:

  • Long — 4+ random words (e.g., "correct-horse-battery-staple")
  • Unique — Never used anywhere else
  • Memorable — You'll type it daily

Adding Your First Login

  2. Log in normally
  3. 1Password will prompt to save
  4. Click "Save in 1Password"

That's it — next time, 1Password fills it automatically.
