VERDICT

Should I use 1Password?

Protect passwords and secrets, manage app access, and secure AI tools with 1Password. Easy to adopt from growing teams to enterprise. - 1password.com

Worth it. Sources are mostly vendor-owned, so confidence is low: buy if your team shares logins or secrets and wants one polished vault with governance as you scale. Skip it as a solo user or tiny team — free, simpler tools do that job.

Confidence

Low. Based on 14 public sources; most are vendor-owned or search spam. No independent review ratings or pricing numbers found — confidence is low.
