According to 1Password research, 48% of companies use a shared document or spreadsheet to store and manage enterprise secrets. 76 percent of families reported sharing passwords insecurely by writing them down or sharing them in a chat or spreadsheet, for example.Īt work, the problem is compounded by the vast amounts of data at stake, but insecure sharing remains common.
We know that at home and at work, people are sharing secrets like passwords and API keys through insecure methods. Second: People are going to use channels like email, spreadsheets, and chat to share sensitive info. Not everyone in the world uses 1Password (we’re working on that too!), so Psst! simply ensures that you can safely share items in your 1Password vault with anyone, whether they’re a customer or not. We’ve been busy knocking out long-requested features this year, and this is one of them.
Why does all this matter? Why build the option to securely share a 1Password item with anyone? There are two answers to that question.įirst: because you asked for it. Making the secure thing to do the easy thing to do The IP addresses of the recipients who viewed the itemĪs always, admins and owners are in complete control.How many times each recipient viewed the shared item (if shared with specific people).The email addresses of each recipient (if shared with specific people).Who shared the item (along with their IP address).When you open the Sharing Details section for an individual shared item, you’ll see: When you open the Activity Log as an admin or owner, you’ll see shared items alongside all other account activity. So when your team shares a 1Password item with an external contractor, or when Marketing shares a login with Finance, you get the same visibility into those shared items that you get with anything else that happens inside 1Password. We know that when it comes to security, visibility is critical. Starting today, you can share virtually anything you have stored in 1Password with anyone. Of course, doing so dramatically increases the risk that that data will be compromised in a breach. Or I could screenshot and send it as an image. Sure, I could copy those items from my 1Password vault and paste them somewhere: in an email, in a chat message. What if my in-laws came to visit and needed the Wi-Fi password? (They’re not 1Password customers, but rest assured, I’m working on that.) What if I needed to share a login with a contractor for a temporary project at work? I shared the Netflix login with my kids, I shared secure notes about doctor’s visits and grocery lists with my wife, and I shared all kinds of things with my colleagues to get our work done securely.īut sharing with anyone who doesn’t use 1Password wasn’t as easy. Back then, I often shared items in my 1Password vault with friends and family who also use 1Password. Before I was Chief Product Officer at 1Password, I was a 1Password customer.
