Save your Emergency Kit
After you create your account, download your Emergency Kit. It contains your Secret Key, which you’ll need to sign in to your account on new devices.
Your Emergency Kit is a PDF document with your account details and a place to write your 1Password account password.

Get to know your vaults
On your Home page, you’ll see your vaults. Vaults are containers for items like your passwords and documents. You’ll also use them to share information with other people on your team.
You’ll start with at least one vault:
- Your Private vault is where you’ll keep work-related items that don’t need to be shared with your team, like your password for your work email account.
You can also use shared vaults to share information with other team members. If you have permission, you can create and share vaults. Otherwise, ask your administrator to create a new vault.
