Using 1Password

Format your secure notes with Markdown

Learn how to add rich text formatting to secure notes using Markdown syntax.

When you edit a secure note or the notes field for any item in 1Password, you can use Markdown syntax to apply text styles, create lists, and more. To see your note displayed with formatted text, save the item after you’re done editing it.
