Suspend an account temporarily
To temporarily revoke a family member’s access to vaults and items, suspend their account:
- Click the name of the person you want to suspend.
- On their details page, click More Actions and choose Suspend.
Remove a family member’s account permanently
After you remove a family member’s account, they can’t sign in to 1Password, which means:
- They lose all the items in their Private vault. Because the items weren’t shared with any other family members, no one will be able to access them.
- They lose access to all shared items, including those in the Shared vault. This won’t affect other family members’ access to shared items.
To permanently remove a family member’s account:
- Click People in the sidebar.
- Click the name of the person you want to remove.
- On their details page, click More Actions and choose Delete.

Get help
If a family member needs to transfer 1Password data from a former account after accepting their invitation to join the family account, ask them to follow these steps:
- Make sure they’re signed in to both accounts in one of the 1Password apps.
- Use the app to move or copy items from their former account into their new account.
- Sign out of their former account in the app.
After they transfer their 1Password data into their new account, they can cancel the subscription for their former account or choose to delete it.
If you need to change a family member’s name, click People in the sidebar, then click their name and click Edit Details.
