- Hey, if you've watched my
previous comparison video where we took a look at all
the popular password managers head-to-head against each other, then you already know that
I kind of crowned 1Password and also a BitTitan as
the overall winners. So in this video, I thought
to go a little bit deeper into one in particular, and that is with 1Password families to
like really get into the guts of this offering and talk through
my likes and dislikes and, and also finish off
with a special discount which will be in the description below if you just want that. This isn't a sponsored video, they haven't paid me to say any of this,
but just very selfishly. Number one, I genuinely
do like this product. And number two, my last video was by far one of my best
performing here on this channel. So, so if you are looking for what motive I have
to make this video, well that's basically it. If this is your first time
here, then hi, my name is Pete. And on this channel, you
can find videos around tech, business, finance, basically, just anything I'm in to. So if you are looking for
more reviews like this one, then please subscribe. So, 1Password is one of
many family offerings when it comes to password managers. And getting straight into this,
I will say that personally, I found 1Password to be
one of the best out there. I tested quite a few of them last year, from like LastPass, Keeper,
Dashlane and a few others, and if you wanna watch some of that then click up here and down below. So first up, what is the one
password family subscription? Well, it's basically just like the standard 1Password subscription, but does let up to five people store and share all of their
own passwords at just a fraction of the cost of what
it would cost to, you know, have five separate personal subscriptions. Those five people don't
even have to officially be in the same household. It could be, you know,
friends or roommates or, or housemates, or perhaps, yes, family. You'll be able to share
logins with individuals or groups of individuals
within that subscription. And if there are more than five of you then you can just add
additional users for like a, I think it's like $1 extra per month. The way at 1Password works
with families is with vaults. So you have a personal vault which stores your own passwords. And then you have a shared vault, which is created by default when you sign up for a subscription and by default, everybody in the family will just have access to these
passwords in these vaults. You can also go ahead
and create other vaults that you want to separate maybe your data or share with only specific people. And you can then move
passwords between them like effortlessly, super
clean, easy, quick, just, just no issues there whatsoever. When it comes down to device support it basically runs on just everything. I mean, Mac, Windows, Linux,
Chrome, iPhone, Android. And there are also browser plug-ins for Safari, Chrome,
Firefox and Microsoft Edge. - Oh, it's actually Microsoft Edge now, I've had a bit of an upgrade! - But one thing that's tripped me up in the past is that there are
two kinds of browser plugins. There is the 1Password browser extension, which comes with like Safari and then there is 1Password X, which works in like all of the others and basically, go with 1Password X. It's so much more functionality in there. You can do a lot more with it. So my recommendation is outside of Safari, go with 1Password X. Onto the features, And some of the features that I love about this are that you can
show passwords in large type, which basically pops the password up, out of the password
manager and it floats it on top of the other window,
so it doesn't get lost. And it also gives you the number of the characters underneath, you know when you're on the phone to like a bank. And it says like, can you
read out character three and seven from your password? Well, this makes it super
easy to quickly pick out character three and seven. And I absolutely love this. It's not something I've come
across with many other apps. Maybe any other apps. You do also get one gig
of encrypted cloud storage for your documents which again you can share. But, to be honest, I don't
personally use this as I share that within my own Google and
Microsoft Cloud subscriptions. Speaking of which, video
that compares all of those, here and here. But there storage is geared
more towards say, I dunno, if you want to store a copy of your driver's licence, or your passport, maybe bank finance or
like investment paperwork. You can use 1Password as the 2FA generator for those websites that need 2FA access. And with 1Password family subscription, you can also share that 2FA access, which is really unique actually, but it makes it really, really easy and Quick and really, really super fast to log into a website, even with 2FA, because it just automatically
fills in that 2FA code. Then in terms of the data you
can store in one password, you can store like payments and card details kinda
much like Safari does, but because 1Password
sits outside of Safari. This means you can easily
get your 1Password app on your phone. If you've got your card
pin, and it will also, also feel card details in
other browsers as well. And then lastly, in features, you can also save pretty much any data
that you want to in 1Password. Again, this is why I love it so much. Custom fields are just a
case of hitting like edit, typing in the field name and entering basically
whatever you want to store. You can also add tags, notes,
linked passwords to others and upload attachments. Just all of the things. When it does come to security, it's basically the same as personal plans. But with 1Password, you have
a feature called Watchtower which basically just looks for
leaked passwords online and, and warns you if they have been leaked. But it also prompts you if
you're reusing passwords on various different websites, or if you're using any weak
passwords, which again, all good reminders to make sure that you're being a bit more secure and careful with your passwords. Now, something I do kind
of secretly like here is that I like that one
password isn't trying to make this service sound more than it is by adding those words, dark web. - Dark web. - Dark web. - The dark internet. - Dark net. - The dark web. - Into the description, like
most other companies are doing so extra brownie points for that too. And following on from security. There is a feature with other
password apps that I reviewed that allow people to gain access to your account in the event
that you are incapacitated. So like dead, or seriously injured. The way it works for those other apps are that you nominate someone
who should have access and then specify a delay of how quickly they can take access, which then gives you a chance
to reject their request, if in fact you aren't dead. But with 1Password,
they believe this method is not secure itself because, well, to give others access to your account, they'd need to have access to your account to be able to give others
access to your account. If that makes sense,
which is a fair point. Now, 1Password deals with this in a more like old school fashioned way
by issuing with a rescue kit which essentially is a piece
of paper where you write down the secret token, username, password which you then store away in a safe or give someone you trust. Then to gain access,
this person just enter those encryption keys and
details and they're in. There is definitely a whole like security versus
convenience thing here and it's definitely not as convenient as the other apps. But I can't really argue, it
definitely is more secure. And we move on to backup and recovery, because have you ever
been in those situations where you maybe like change your password and then fast forward a month or two, try to log in and they realised that the password change
didn't actually work, but your password software
only has the newest version which means you're now locked out. Well, this happens to me more times than I'd be willing to admit. But, with 1Password, you
can see previous versions and recover deleted passwords
for up a whole year. So that is a really handy feature, as you can just go pull that
old password back out again and get back into things. And then finally, we come on to support and on
1Password's own website, it States they have unrivalled support. So I sent a fake email into
one password support to see how quick they could come back? Email sent at 3:27 PM on
Monday the 8th of February. Response and the fix came back on, wait for it, Monday the 8th of February at 3:42 PM, a huge 15 minutes later, which is just fantastic. I then also replied back to that email to ask for more information and then another 30 minutes
later, another reply. And this has been consistent
with every interaction I've had with 1Password over the years. I'm never left waiting and something I'm actually really, really, really looking forward to, to testing when I do my next round
of password comparisons. Pricing wise, you are
looking at £4.99 per month, for a family of five, but
before shooting this video I did contact 1Password to
ask if there was like any form of discount that I could
get for people watching. And they happily provide
a link that gets you 25% off a family subscription. So just click on the link
down below for that one, or, if you are looking for a personal
subscription, then, again, I'll include the link down below for, I think it's 25% off of that one as well. And so pricing wise, that £4.99 price, pre discount, puts you kind of in line with the likes of other password
management tools out there. Some may be slightly cheaper,
some slightly more, but it's in the ballpark and certainly
with a discount code I think it is well-worth it. You can also get a 14 day free
trial using that same link, so if you wanna give it a try first before using that discount,
then absolutely go nuts. But yeah, pretty good pricing. And with that discount, I
think it makes it like just really good value. Thanks for watching. Like the video if you did and subscribe for more
of this kind of content. And I'll see in the next video Bye-bye.
