How do I use 1Password on a work or shared computer (like at the library) or someone else’s computer if I am traveling? If i setup a strong password and I need to use a website and I need to access my 1 PW account to get the password. How do I do this simply? Thanks.

    Hi @jb60202!

    You can login to a 1Password.com account in a browser on that shared device, and access your data that way, if you trust the computer.

    Do you have to have the secret key and all of that each time you log in?

    @jb60202:

    Yes, that is correct.

    I would never log in on a public or even a friends computer. An idea is, use Words option to make passwords for accounts you want to login on other computers. This way they are easy to type, and you’re not putting your whole password vault on an untrusted computer.

    That's right, this is very personal. Only you can choose how much you trust somebody else's computer.
