1Password vs Google Password Manager

1Password

• Individuals and families who want one password manager on every device
• Small teams of up to 10 people on the flat-rate Teams Starter Pack
• Companies that want password management tied to their SSO provider

Google Password Manager

• People who already use Chrome or Android and do not want to install anything
• Anyone who wants a no-cost password manager tied to their Google Account
• Users starting to replace passwords with passkeys

1Password

• There is no free plan; a paid subscription is needed after the 14-day trial.
• Listed prices are for annual billing, and the $2.99 and $4.49 promotional rates apply only to a new customer's first year.
• Single sign-on integration starts at the Business plan, and Enterprise pricing is by quote only.

Google Password Manager

• There is no standalone desktop app: on a computer, passwords are filled in Chrome or viewed at passwords.google.com.
• On iPhone and iPad it depends on Chrome being set as the AutoFill provider in the device's settings.
• With standard encryption Google holds the key to saved passwords. On-device encryption is optional and cannot be removed once set up.
• If you are signed out of Chrome, saved passwords stay on that device and are not available on your other devices.

1Password

Autofill and password generator

Saves and fills passwords, two-factor codes, payment details and addresses in any major browser, and generates new passwords when you sign up.

Passkeys

Saves passkeys alongside passwords and signs in with them on sites that support passwordless login.

Watchtower

Flags compromised passwords and other security issues affecting the items you have saved.

Secure sharing

Share an item through an expiring link, even with someone who does not use 1Password, or keep shared vaults for family members and teammates.

Secret Key encryption

Data is protected by your account password plus a 128-bit Secret Key, and 1Password says it cannot see the passwords or data you store.

Team controls and single sign-on

Teams Starter Pack adds role-based permissions. Business adds sign-in through identity providers such as Okta, Entra ID, OneLogin and Duo.

Google Password Manager

Save and autofill in Chrome and Android

Chrome offers to save a password when you enter one and fills it in on every device where you are signed in. On Android it fills passwords in apps once Google is the autofill service.

Passkeys

Creates and saves passkeys to your Google Account, and can automatically create a passkey when you sign in with a password that is already saved.

Password Checkup

Identifies security issues with saved passwords, notifies you when one turns up in a data breach and helps you change it.

Strong password suggestions

Suggests strong, unique passwords for new accounts and saves them to your Google Account so you do not have to remember them.

On-device encryption

An optional setting that locks passwords and passkeys with a key only you hold, unlocked with your Google password or an eligible device's screen lock.

Import and export

Imports passwords from another manager as a CSV file at passwords.google.com, and exports them from Chrome, Android or the same site.
