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.

Zoho Vault

Unlimited free vault for individuals

The free plan stores unlimited passwords, notes and documents, syncs across devices and includes browser extensions, mobile apps and a password generator.

Password sharing with permissions

Paid plans share passwords with individuals and groups at several permission levels, and can share once with third parties outside the organization.

Passkeys and passwordless unlock

Stores passkeys alongside passwords, and the vault itself can be unlocked with Zoho OneAuth, Windows Hello, Touch ID, a passkey or a YubiKey.

Admin controls and audit trails

Admins assign roles, transfer password ownership, enforce password policies and review audit trails of password access, user activity and admin actions.

Access control workflow

Enterprise adds a request-release workflow in which access to critical shared passwords needs admin approval and can be limited in time.

Directory and single sign-on integrations

Standard connects to Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. Enterprise adds Active Directory, Okta and OneLogin integration and single sign-on for cloud apps.
