Hey 1Password community!

We’re thrilled to announce the release of our streamlined sign-in experience, now available to all users. This update makes signing into 1Password on a new device faster and easier than ever, without sacrificing security. 🎉

You can now scan a QR code via 1Password using your iOS or Android mobile device, confirm the new device, and you’re instantly signed in – no need to type in your account password, Secret Key, or other info.

After listening to your feedback, we’ve fine-tuned the sign-in process to make it more convenient:

  • The QR code flow works whether you’re adding 1Password to a new desktop or mobile device. Already signed in on your phone and want to sign in on your desktop? Easy! Or if you're signed in on your desktop and want to add your phone, the same process applies.

  • If you’re using Single Sign-On (SSO) on your 1Password Business account, you’ll still complete your IdP verification.

  • This isn’t just about convenience, it’s about security too. The QR code creates a secure, encrypted connection between devices, ensuring your credentials stay private. Plus, the code itself doesn’t contain sensitive info, making it safe from screenshots or shoulder surfers. 🛡️ Find more info about the security behind it here.

💡 Still prefer your current sign-in process? No problem! Existing manual sign-in options are still available, so you can choose the method that works best for you.

This enhanced experience is now live across all desktop and mobile apps, for both personal and business users, so make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of 1Password.

Give it a try today! 🙌

    It's a shame it does not work on browsers.

    👋 Hey everyone, I wanted to share that with the latest 1Password apps for Android and iOS, you can now use this new QR code to sign-in to a new mobile or tablet device using your existing mobile device - no desktop computer necessary!

    To access this feature, open the top-left account menu on either mobile app, and tapSetup Another Device. Scan the QR code from another mobile device or tablet to sign-in instantly - no need to type out your password or Secret Key anymore 😎

    Give it a try today and let me know what you think!
