VPN feature for 1Password

harish_ravikumar

Does 1Password team have any plans to build a VPN service with the password manager app?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi @harish_ravikumar

Right now our goal is to focus on our core offering (password management), vs expanding into other areas (e.g. VPN). As such don't suspect we'll be adding VPN to/alongside 1Password in the near future. The VPN market is relatively flooded, and I'm not sure there is anything we could offer there that hasn't already been covered by another service. That said, we have partnered with Pango, which includes VPN service from Hotspot Shield, as well as a few other useful security-related services. If you're looking for 1Password + VPN that may be a good option:

Pango — a subscription service that protects you online

@Ben What does this combind offering mean? I already have a subscription for 1Password. How Pango will benefit me if I already have one of the products subscribed independently?

@harish_ravikumar

The Pango deal includes an individual 1Password membership. When you sign up for Pango you'll be given the option: I already have a 1Password account. When selecting this option your Pango subscription will 'replace' your 1Password subscription billing. Essentially going forward you'd be billed by Pango, at the deal rate, instead of by us directly. If at some point in the future you decided to discontinue Pango you could switch back to direct billing.

Hi @Ben Do you have any plans for a similar offering in the UK market? One of the features is US only, Would I still be able to do the other features? Also how does it work with a family subscription?

Hi @Zaka_7

Do you have any plans for a similar offering in the UK market?

I'm not aware of any specific plans (and if I were I wouldn't be in a position to comment on them), but it is certainly possible that we'll participate in other similar deals in the future that may have broader impact in different areas.

One of the features is US only

Robo Shield, the call-blocking aspect, is currently US and Canada-only.

Would I still be able to do the other features?

I don't see why not. :)

Also how does it work with a family subscription?

It doesn't. The promotion is for an individual membership. ;) That said, please feel free to reach out to our team at support@1password.com to see if there are any other offers that might be more applicable to your situation. I don't know that there are right now, but it doesn't hurt to ask.
