Article summary

This guide will walk you through how to set up 1Password.

NOTE: As part of your plan, BlackCloak currently offers a code for a 1Password subscription that lasts for one year. Once your subscription expires, BlackCloak can offer you a gift card for the second year of your 1Password subscription. If you were to enter your credit card information instead, you will be personally charged for the next year of 1Password. Instead, leave the credit card field blank and contact BlackCloak to receive the gift card.

If you enter your credit card information, you will be charged and would not be able to secure a refund, nor would you be able to use the gift card. Please reach out to BlackCloak, and we will help you both with receiving the gift card and to answer any questions about your subscription.

1. First, you need to pick your plan. Go to www.1password.com. We recommend doing this on a computer, simply for the bigger screen. Here, you can pick either a family or an individual plan.

2. Create your account.

3. Input the six digit code that was sent your email.

4. Add a credit card.

5. Pick your master password. Make sure it is long and complicated.

6. Download and print your emergency kit. It's the only means of recovering 1Password account if you are locked out.

7. You can use your emergency kit to register devices. At the sign-in screen of the app, select the option for already using 1Password.com. Scan the kit to prefill the sign-in details.

After the account has been created, you’ll receive an email prompting you to confirm each account which was invited.
