Tip
If you’re a 1Password administrator, learn how to configure Unlock 1Password with Okta for your team.
If your team’s 1Password Business account has Unlock with SSO turned on, you can use single sign-on (SSO) authentication to unlock 1Password with Okta instead of your account password and Secret Key.
If you’re new to 1Password, learn how to join your team. If you already use 1Password and are asked to sign in with Okta, learn how to switch from an account password and Secret Key to Unlock with Okta.
Before you begin
Before you can unlock 1Password with Okta, you’ll need to install the latest version of 1Password:
- 1Password extension
- 1Password 8 for iOS or Android

When you have these prerequisites, follow the steps below.
