Welcome to 1Password.
Let's get you set up.

IT has already connected 1Password to Magasin Du Nord's identity provider (Microsoft Entra ID). That means you'll sign in with the same username and password you already use for your PC, email and other work apps — not a new password to remember.

Step-by-step

1. Look for an email from 1Password titled something like "You've been invited to join Magasin Du Nord on 1Password."
2. Open the email and select Create Account or Sign In.
3. Enter your work email address when prompted.
4. You'll be redirected to Magasin Du Nord's sign-in page. Select Sign in with SSO with Microsoft and enter your usual work credentials.
5. If you're already signed in to your identity provider elsewhere on your device, this step may complete automatically with no typing at all.

If it asks for an account password and Secret Key instead

Occasionally, if you're accepting the invite right after IT sets things up, 1Password may briefly show the old-style sign-in screen (asking for an account password and a Secret Key) instead of the SSO button.

1Password works best when it's installed on every device and browser you use — that's what makes autofill and password saving feel effortless.

Desktop apps

The badge shows which download matches the computer you're on right now.

Mobile apps

Browser extensions

Each button below links straight to that browser's own official store. The badge shows which one matches the browser you're using right now.

Once 1Password is installed, open it and sign in the same way you did in Step 1 — with your company SSO. The first app or browser you sign into becomes your "linked" device, which you'll use to approve any new ones.

Adding a new device after your first sign-in

1. Open 1Password on the new device and select Sign In.
2. Enter your work email and sign in with your identity provider again.
3. On your original device (the one you signed into first), you'll see a prompt: "New app or browser found." Select Transfer Key.
4. A short verification code appears on your original device. Type that code into the new device to finish linking it.

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, and Safari all have their own free, built-in password manager — and it doesn't know 1Password exists. Left running side-by-side, both will try to save and autofill the same login at the same time, so you end up with two competing pop-ups fighting for the same field.

Step 1: turn off the setting (do this first, on every browser you use)

1. Chrome, Edge, or Brave: open Settings → Autofill and passwords → Google Password Manager (Chrome) or Passwords (Edge/Brave) → Settings → turn off Offer to save passwords and passkeys.
2. Firefox: open Settings → Privacy & Security → scroll to Logins and Passwords → uncheck Ask to save logins and passwords for websites.
3. Safari: open Safari → Settings → AutoFill → turn off Usernames and passwords.

This clears the way for new logins going forward. Now deal with the passwords the browser already has saved, using one of the three methods below.

Three ways to move your existing browser passwords out

Pick one. They all end with the browser's saved passwords deleted and 1Password as your single source of truth — they just differ in how much manual clean-up you're willing to do.

Method 1 — Clean slate: back up, then start fresh ★ Recommended

1. Export your browser's saved passwords as a one-time backup. In Chrome: Settings → Autofill and passwords → Google Password Manager → Settings → Download file (under "Export passwords"), then confirm with your computer password. Edge and Firefox have an equivalent "Export Passwords" option in their password settings.
2. Save that exported file somewhere private and temporary — it's unencrypted, plain-text, readable by anyone who opens it. Keep it only as an emergency backup.
3. Delete all saved passwords from the browser's password manager (there's usually a "Delete all" or select-all option, or you can remove them individually).
4. From now on, just use the web normally. When you land on a site you used to have saved, select Forgot password, reset it, and let 1Password generate a new strong password and save it automatically. Done — that login now lives only in 1Password.

Method 2 — Gradual manual migration

1. Open your browser's password manager in its own tab (in Chrome, go to chrome://password-manager/passwords) and keep it pinned or nearby while you work.
2. Go about your day as normal. When you log in to a site, let 1Password fill or save the login as usual.
3. Once you can see 1Password has it saved, switch to that password-manager tab, find the same site, and delete it from the browser.
4. Repeat each time you run into a "leftover" saved site, until the browser's list is empty.

Method 3 — Bulk export and import Not recommended unless you'll clean up after

1. Export all saved passwords from your browser to a CSV file (same as Method 1, step 1).
2. In the 1Password app, select File → Import (Mac/Windows) or the ⋯ menu → Import (1Password.com), choose your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.), select the CSV file, choose the destination vault, and select Import.
3. Delete the CSV file immediately afterward — it's unencrypted plain text.
4. Still go back and delete the saved passwords from the browser (Method 1, step 3). Importing into 1Password does not remove them from the browser or stop the double pop-up on its own.
5. Set aside time to go through your newly-imported items and delete anything you don't actually use — old accounts, duplicates, long-abandoned trials, and weak or reused passwords.

Saving a new login (the easy way)

The simplest way to save a login is to just log in to a website normally — 1Password does the rest.

1. Go to a site and enter your username and password like you normally would.
2. Select Sign In on the website.
3. 1Password's browser extension will pop up and ask "Save login for this website?"
4. Choose the right vault (see Step 8 for which one), then select Save.

Saving a login manually (inside the app)

Useful for accounts you already have, or ones you're not signing into from a browser right now (like an app-only service).

1. Open the 1Password app and select + New Item.
2. Choose Login.
3. Fill in the website, username, and password (or select the key icon to generate a strong one).
4. Choose the correct vault, then select Save.

Updating an existing login

1. Change your password on the actual website first, the way you normally would.
2. 1Password will usually detect the change and prompt "Update login?" — select Update.
3. If it doesn't prompt automatically, open the item in 1Password, select Edit, update the password field, then Save.

Moving or copying items between vaults

1. Open the item you want to move.
2. Select the ⋯ (more options) menu.
3. Choose Move to Another Vault (moves it) or Duplicate and then move the copy (keeps the original in place too).
4. Pick the destination vault and confirm.

Beyond logins: other item types worth using

1Password stores far more than passwords. Three item types are especially useful for day-to-day work:

• 💳 Credit cards — save a company card once and autofill the card number, expiry date, and security code at checkout instead of digging through a wallet or a group chat for the numbers. Useful for shared team subscriptions, travel bookings, or ad accounts. Select + New Item → Credit Card to add one.
• 📝 Secure notes — a private, encrypted place for text that doesn't fit a login: Wi-Fi setup instructions, a server's root access procedure, license keys, or a passphrase for an encrypted drive. Anything you'd hesitate to paste into a chat message is a good candidate for a note. Select + New Item → Secure Note.
• 📎 Documents and files — attach a file directly to any item, or save a standalone document. Great for a scanned ID, a signed contract, a software license PDF, or an SSH key file. It stays encrypted alongside everything else, and — like every item — it can be shared with someone outside your account if needed (see Step 9). Select + New Item → Document, or drag a file onto an existing item to attach it.

1Password can also act as your authenticator app — generating the six-digit one-time codes that many websites ask for as a second factor, right alongside the saved password. This means one app for both, and codes that fill in automatically instead of being copied from your phone by hand.

Add 2FA in the desktop app (Mac, Windows, or Linux)

1. On the website you want to protect, go to its security settings and turn on two-factor authentication / an authenticator app. It will show you a QR code (or a text-based setup key if it can't display one).
2. Open 1Password and find (or create) the Login item for that website.
3. Select Edit.
4. Select Add More, then choose One-Time Password.
5. Select the QR code icon, then choose From My Screen and drag the scanner over the QR code shown on the website. (You can also choose From Image File or From Clipboard if that's where the code lives — or paste in the setup key by hand if there's no QR code at all.)
6. 1Password will immediately start generating a live six-digit code. Select Save.
7. Return to the website and enter the current code from 1Password to confirm the setup.

Add 2FA in the mobile app (iOS or Android)

1. On the website, start turning on two-factor authentication and get to the screen showing a QR code.
2. Open the 1Password app and find (or create) the Login item for that site.
3. Tap the item, then tap the pencil / Edit icon.
4. Tap Add More (or the field labeled One-Time Password).
5. Tap the QR code icon to scan the code with your camera — point your phone at the code shown on your other device or screen. If only a text setup key is offered, paste that instead.
6. Tap Save once the six-digit code appears.
7. Enter the code back on the website to confirm.

See it in action

Once a login has a one-time password saved, signing in takes seconds — 1Password fills your email, your password, and finally your 2FA code, one after another, with no typing at all.

Watchtower quietly scans everything saved in 1Password and flags anything risky — all checks run locally on your device, so your actual passwords are never sent anywhere to be scanned.

What each category means

• Compromised websites — a site you use had a known data breach, and you haven't changed the password since. Change it now.
• Vulnerable / breached passwords — your exact password has appeared in a leaked-password database somewhere. Change it, even if you don't recognize the source.
• Reused passwords — the same password is protecting more than one login. If one account is compromised, all of them are at risk. Give each a unique password.
• Weak passwords — short or easily-guessed passwords. Let 1Password generate a strong replacement.
• Missing two-factor authentication (2FA) — the site supports an extra layer of login security, but you haven't turned it on yet.
• Unsecured websites — the site doesn't use a secure (HTTPS) connection, so data you type could be intercepted.

How to act on an alert

1. Open Watchtower in the sidebar of the app.
2. Select a category to see the affected items.
3. Select an item, then Change Password on Website (or Set Up 2FA) and follow the prompts.
4. Save the new password back into 1Password when asked.

Every item in 1Password lives in a vault — think of vaults as labeled folders that control who can see what. As a 1Password Enterprise user, you'll typically see two kinds:

Employee vault (formerly called "Private vault")

• Every team member automatically gets one — it can't be renamed or deleted.
• Only you can normally see the items in it. Even your manager and coworkers cannot.
• In rare cases — like an account recovery, an offboarding process, or a security investigation — 1Password administrators can access or run reports on Employee vault items. This is a company account, not a personal one, so treat it accordingly.
• What belongs here: logins and items that relate to your job, but that only you personally need — things like a personal bookmark of an internal tool, a one-off vendor portal only you use, or notes tied to a work task.

Shared vaults

• Created and managed by your team or IT, and shared with everyone who needs access.
• Anyone added to the vault can see (and, depending on permissions, edit) everything inside it.
• What belongs here: team or department logins — a shared social media account, a SaaS tool your whole team uses, a shared service account, Wi-Fi credentials for the office, and so on.

"Where should I save this?" — quick decision guide

Sometimes a supplier, contractor, or partner needs a password or a file from you — and they don't use 1Password at all. Instead of emailing it in plain text or pasting it into a chat, use item sharing to send a secure, expiring link. It works for any item type, including logins, credit cards, secure notes, and documents.

1. Open and unlock 1Password. Find the item you want to share — for example, a login or an attached file — and select it.
2. Select Share.
3. Choose when the link expires: 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or set it to expire the moment it's viewed once.
4. Choose who can open the link: anyone with the link, or only specific people. For the latter, add their email address(es) — they'll need to verify their email with a one-time code before they can view the item.
5. Select Copy Link (or Share Link to send it directly through email, chat, or another app).
6. Send the link to your supplier or partner through whatever channel you'd normally use — the link itself is what's secure, not the channel.

Because Magasin uses 1Password Business, you personally get a free 1Password Families membership — a completely separate, personal account for you and your household, at no cost to you, for as long as you're with the company.

• Covers up to 5 people total — you plus up to 4 family members or trusted people.
• It's entirely separate from your work account. Your employer cannot see anything stored in it — not your items, not your vaults, not even how many you have. Only whether the linked subscription is active is shared with your work account.
• Use it for everything personal: banking, personal email, streaming, shopping, family Wi-Fi, kids' accounts, and more.

How to redeem it

1. Sign in to your work 1Password account on https://magasindunord.1password.eu/
2. Select your name in the top-right corner, then Manage Account (or your profile page).
3. Look for the "Claim your free Families account" section and select Redeem Now.
4. Create your Families account using your personal email address — not your work email.
5. If you already have a personal 1Password account, you can link that existing account instead of creating a new one.
6. Invite up to 4 family members from within your new Families account.

Using both accounts side by side

You don't need two separate apps. Add both accounts to the same 1Password app and browser extension, and switch between them with the account picker. When saving or filling a login, just double check which account is selected — work items stay in Magasin Du Nord, personal items stay in your Families account.

Good habits worth building

• Let 1Password generate passwords instead of making up your own — longer and more random is safer, and you'll never need to remember it.
• Keep the browser extension turned on so you're prompted to save new logins as you create them, rather than leaving them out of 1Password entirely.
• Keep your browser's built-in password manager turned off (Step 4) — a browser update or a reset can quietly turn it back on, which is the most common reason the double pop-up creeps back in later.
• Review Watchtower monthly, not just when something breaks.
• Double-check the destination vault every time you save a new item — a five-second habit that keeps work and personal life cleanly separated.
• Turn on biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) on your devices for faster day-to-day access.
• Never share your verification codes, Emergency Kit, or account details with anyone — including people claiming to be from IT or 1Password support.
