Do you often use password manager programs but feel that none meet your expectations? That's because you probably still haven't tried 1Password, undoubtedly one of the best in this field. Yes, this is the same service that, for some time, could only be used by Mac users but that, for some time now, can also be installed on Windows computers.

As we were saying, 1Password is nothing more than a paid platform for managing all our passwords, an ideal solution for those users who have problems remembering their passwords to access sites or software installed on their computers. The advantage of having this application is that instead of having to remember hundreds of passwords, you will only have to consider one, thanks to which you will be able to access this tool.

How it works

1Password has also been developed to answer those tired of constantly filling out forms on different websites since it will give you a hand by doing it automatically. Yes, just as you read it, it is not only about password management, but you will also be able to see the different fields of the most common web forms filled in, saving you work and time.

Another feature of 1Password that we liked is the one that has to do with the generation of passwords by the program itself, a perfect alternative in case you are not very inventive or do not know how to create secure passwords. All you have to do is use the section of this utility to do so, and that way, you will be sure that nobody will access your sites, with the advantage of not having to remember that complicated password.

1Password also has some other very exciting functions, such as Security Notes , which its developers have called the one that allows us to store all kinds of essential data, even when they are not passwords. To give you an idea, if you have to add some specific field in the login form, or some internal number, you will be able to save it here, so you don't have to be remembering it.

Of course, the creators of 1Password explain that all the content we upload to this service is adequately protected and away from the prying eyes of third parties, which will prevent you from worrying about your security. All the information is correctly encrypted so that only those who know the master password can see it if you have given it to them for any reason.

What browsers is it compatible with? Practically all the most popular browsers of these times, which undoubtedly embodies another of the significant advantages that 1Password has over most of its competitors. Indeed, you will be able to take advantage of its autofill functions whether you usually browse through Google Chrome or prefer some of its more common alternatives, in the cases of Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer or Safari.

1Password's user interface is undoubtedly one of the best in its category. It demonstrates how no matter what kind of software we are talking about, you can consistently achieve a design that is as beautiful as it is functional.

To take into account

As we mentioned before, 1Password is not a free program but a paid one that allows us to have a first approach to its functions without having to pay, although with certain limitations. The funny thing is that these restrictions are not on the use time, but on the number of items, up to 20 at most, so if you need less than that, you will not even need to purchase the service.

The Best

1Password has many positive features, but if we have to dwell on the main ones, we will undoubtedly have to talk about its ease of use and the possibility of generating secure passwords automatically. In the same way, the form filling that runs on its own, and the option of adding plugins for the most important browsers, are impossible to avoid.

The worst

Although we have not found too many weaknesses in this first approach to 1Password, we must say that it is a service with a couple of shortcomings that it is impossible not to miss, mainly because they appear in some of its rivals. We are talking in the first instance about the impossibility of having attachments, something almost essential, and we would have also liked it to offer keyboard shortcuts.

Rating

Beyond these minor final criticisms, we do not doubt that 1Password is one of the best password managers you can install on your PC, even though it is a paid application when others are completely free.
