Using 1Password

Saving information:

• If you want to add existing login credentials to your private vault on 1Password, make sure you have navigated to your private vault.
• Click the plus sign at the top and choose the login option

• Fill in the user credentials of your account.

Note: You can save credit card information in 1Password but it is not recommended.

Editing saved information:

To edit an existing login such as username, password, and website, click on the edit for the account you want to edit.

• By clicking on the cogwheel next to the password, you can generate a new and stronger password than the existing one. If you do this, make sure to update your password on the accounts with the one generated.

Warning: Don’t click the cogwheel again as it resets the password, which is really annoying.

• You can configure the password generator to suit the password requirements of certain websites like in the image below. Once you click Edit, click the cogwheel to update a password after which you can choose the desired length, number of digits, symbols, and letters. Then, click the re-generate password button.
