Use Travel Mode to remove vaults from your devices when you travel

Travel Mode removes vaults from your computers and mobile devices, except those you mark as safe for travel.

Travel Mode is included with every 1Password subscription. If you’re stopped for inspection while traveling, the only vaults on your devices will be the ones you’ve marked as safe for travel.

With 1Password Business, you can also turn Travel Mode on and off for your team members.

To get started, sign in to your account on 1Password.com.

Use Travel Mode

Right before you travel, turn on Travel Mode:

  1. Click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.
  2. Turn on Travel Mode.
  3. On the devices you’re traveling with, open and unlock 1Password. Vaults that haven’t been marked as safe for travel will be removed from the app.

When you’re done traveling, return to My Profile and click to turn off Travel Mode.

Whenever you turn Travel Mode on or off, you’ll need to open 1Password on your devices while connected to the internet for the change to take effect.

To mark vaults as safe for travel

Before your trip, you can choose to mark some vaults as safe for travel. These vaults will remain on your devices while Travel Mode is on.

To mark a vault as safe for travel, click Vaults in the sidebar, then click the name of the vault you want and select Safe for Travel.

If you don't see Vaults in the sidebar, click on a vault on the Home screen. If you don't see on the vault, make sure you have the permission to manage that vault.

If you don’t already have a vault you want to travel with, you can create a vault and move items to it.

Safe for Travel. Turn off to remove this vault from devices during travel.
