If your toolbar icon looks like this: 1pw-browser-iconone-pw-browser-icon please click it and unlock 1Password with your password or biometric auth.


Step 6: Install Complete - but we're not done!

1Password should now work for autofilling login information.

There are two tabs you will need to change settings in:

  • Autofill & save
  • Accounts & vaults
Autofill & save

Click on the Autofill & save tab, and then disable "Offer to save and sign in with passkeys" because we currently do not use passkeys.

Make sure the vault selected next to "New items get saved in:" is set to your named vault e.g. John Doe. It should not be set to "Employee" or "Private" or anything else.

Accounts & vaults

Click on the Accounts & Vaults tab on the left. 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 of 1Password. Please continue to leave the Employee vault empty.


Step 8: Proceed to Section 5

You're done!... at least with this part. Please proceed to Section 5 to install 1Password on your phone or other mobile device. Note that Section 4 is optional. If you have any questions, contact IT for help.
