Get a Free Year of 1Password Families and Never Forget Your Passwords Again

Online security has never been more important, and using strong, unique and private passwords is vital. But a good password is also hard to remember, and that’s how people wind up using the same password for everything. That’s bad because it means that anyone who guesses one password then has access to everything. Saving all of your strong passwords in a password manager is the best way to make sure you don’t fall into that trap. Right now, you can get a full year’s access to one of our favorite password managers for free — and your family can get in on the act, too. 1Password Family is free for your first year, but be quick — this deal won’t last for long.

Keep in mind that you’ll be charged for 1Password’s family plan once the first year is up, so you’ll need to cancel if you decide that it isn’t for you. Not that we expect that to happen, especially once your whole family gets used to what it has to offer.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

1Password Families offers access to all of the best 1Password features for up to five people, so nobody gets left behind. You’ll also be able to manage the whole family’s access using simple admin controls, too.

The 1Password app can also do more than just safely store your passwords. Not only will it recommend strong passwords when you need to sign up for a new service, but you can also save important documents like your driver’s license, passport and more. And with the option to save notes securely, you really can store anything.

1Password syncs between all of your devices, with apps available for all of the major platforms across desktop and mobile. And there’s even a website for those times when you just need quick access, too.

An annual 1Password Families plan normally costs around $60, so this deal is definitely worth taking advantage of while you still can.

Why this deal matters

It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of using easy-to-remember passwords, especially across multiple services and websites. But that makes them easier for the bad guys to guess, too. Apps like 1Password help you use strong and unique passwords without having to remember them, and this deal makes it free for a full year.
