Children without email addresses

I would like to set my daughter up with her own vault to save her school program passwords, mindcraft, etc. However, she is too young to have her own email account. How do I "invite" someone without an email?

    Hi, @opiecras.

    Great question! For that case, you can simply send an invitation to an email address of your own. You can't have two people with the same email address on the same team, though, so if you only have one email address, you might need to create a new one.

    On the other hand, if you use a service like Gmail, you can use the same email address again by adding a plus sign and more text. For example, Gmail treats both "jim@gmail.com" and "jim+lucy@gmail.com" as "jim@gmail.com", so if you have a 1Password account under "jim@gmail.com" already, you could invite "jim+lucy@gmail.com" -- it would work just fine, and you'd still get the email.

    Hope that helps!

    On behalf of Rob, you are most welcome! I'll also say that you can of course setup an email address expressly for each child, and then keep the login saved in your own vault until such time as you turn it over to them once they've grown (if they want it, of course!)

    It sounds like you should be all set, but don't hesitate to reach out if we can be of further assistance. We're always here to help! :)
