# 1Password

> Password manager for individuals, families and businesses

1Password stores passwords, passkeys, financial details and other sensitive items in encrypted vaults and autofills them in any major web browser. Personal plans cover one person or a family of five, while team and business plans add shared vaults, role-based permissions and single sign-on. The company now also sells a broader access-management platform for businesses, but the password manager remains available on its own plans.
