    I am unable to download the app or extension at work. Is there a way to login and utilize the features without doing so?

    Am I correct in assuming that you have 1PW at home, and need to access it at work?

    If so, sync your home version with Dropbox, and then you can use your web browser at work to see your passwords using 1Password Anywhere. Look at https://support.1password.com/1passwordanywhere/

    If you don't have your own personal version, and you aren't allowed to download 1PW at work, then you just can't use it.

    Hello @Question,

    It does sound like work has the work machines bolted down pretty tight. Given some of the horror stories out there I can't blame them. For every responsible and knowledgeable user it's sad but there will be somebody that downloads every toolbar and can get a machine jammed up with malware faster than you can ask "why did you click yes?"

    danco's suggestion of 1PasswordAnywhere might work for you as it only requires the ability to log into a Dropbox account. Other than that, if you have a mobile device you might find using 1Password there is a better option. At least in 1Password for iOS we have a Large Type option which would help (a bit) for typing complex passwords on your desktop when they're visible on a mobile device. Neither are as good as being able to run the actual application on the right machine but it does sound like that won't be possible for you.

    This helps, thank you. I am not so tech savvy but I'm trying to figure it out.
