Included with the license for 1Password Business accounts, a free family account is available. This allows each associate to separate work and personal account information while still keeping it secure and easy to access. If a Business account is no longer available due to a change in work status with the University, the personal account remains active. However, it may no longer be free.

 

IT Services encourages all of our associates to take advantage of this benefit as it encourages good cybersecurity habits.
