1Password Best Practices and Support Expectations
What credentials should be saved to my 1Password Business account?
Any login credentials, identity information, or other item type offered by 1Password that is being used to do work associated with your position at Concordia University, Nebraska should be stored in 1Password. It is recommended that a family account be set up to store non-Institutional information.
Does IT Services support my 1Password Family account?
IT Services does not provide support services for family accounts nor has any visibility into your family account or personal data. Please be sure to save any recovery
tools for your family account in a secure location at home.
May I put the 1Password app on my personal device and use it
to access my 1Password Business account?
You may access this service from a
personal device, such as a cell phone, tablet, or personal computer.
May I add my
personal credentials to my 1Password Business account?
It is recommended that you use a 1Password Family account and keep these items separate. Both accounts can be used on a single device simultaneously.
When should a Team Vault be created?
Anytime there is a
login, account number, or other secure information shared between multiple
individuals on a regular basis, a Team Vault should be requested in order to securely maintain
this information.

How can I protect Institutional data in my Vaults
while I'm away from work?
There is a feature called Travel Mode which can lock you out of your Institutional Vaults from your devices. This protects shared vaults while you are away from work, such as vacation or medical leave. This feature makes Institutional vaults inaccessible from your account should a device become lost or compromised. This feature is only available on your business account. IT Services can enable this mode for you.
Can the Helpdesk unlock my 1Password Business account?
Your 1Password Business account authenticates using your Microsoft credentials. You may use the Microsoft Self-Service Password Reset tool to reset this password. The Helpdesk
is also able to assist if necessary.
