(Please note, improvements to this section are welcome by Android users.)

## **Step 4: Enter account info**

Two ways to do this: 1) Manually. Use all the URL, Secret Key, Username, and Password to fill in as needed on your phone. After initial setup only the password will ever be needed. 2) Scan the setup code.

  

Setup code:

• Prep by loading this website on your desktop machine:

[https://lanepds.1password.com/apps](https://lanepds.1password.com/apps)

• Click `Show` on the Setup Code. (Looks very similar to a QR code.)

• Back on your phone, either as part of the guided assistant or by going to Settings ➝ `Add Existing Account` ➝ Scan Setup Code. Now use the camera to capture the setup code on your screen.

• Type in your password and finish adding the account.

  

Note: Do **not** select `Move Data` if that option pops up.

  

## **Step 5: Configuration (required!)**

\- Settings ➝ Security.

*   Turn off `Lock on Exit` - it is super annoying when you're trying to edit things or copy and paste on the rare unsupported site, even if it is more secure. (This setting not required.)
*   Set Auto-Lock to 2 minutes or less.
*   Turn on biometric auth, if available.

  

\- Settings ➝ Vaults

• At the top of this page, tap `Vault for Saving` and **change it to your named vault.**

• Tap `All Vaults` and uncheck Employee.

> 📌
>
> As of May 1, 2024 the name of the "Private" vault has been changed to "Employee" for 1Password business accounts. This change was not made by us but [by the developers](https://blog.1password.com/employee-vault/) of 1Password. Please continue to leave the Employee vault empty.

## **Done!**

Pat yourself on the back, you're all done!... at least with installation.
