Every item you save in 1Password is stored in a vault. You can use vaults to organize your items and share with others. Items in a vault are available to everyone with access to that vault. Your family account includes a vault called Shared that’s available to everyone you’ve invited. You can’t recover your own account, so make sure at least two family or team members can recover accounts. That way, if you can’t sign in, someone will be able to help you. Learn how to add a family organizer or implement a recovery plan for your team.
When you recover an account for someone:
- They’ll receive a new Secret Key and create a new Master Password.
- They’ll be able to access all the data they had before.
- They’ll need to sign in again on all their devices once recovery is complete.
You can recover accounts for other people if:
