When creating a Team account, will company email addresses be tied to the account?

Hi @sallymitchell - Thank you for reaching out to us and I'll do my best to address your questions. It's great to hear you want to give 1Password Teams a test drive so let's dive right in -

A few of our team members already have personal 1Password accounts and I'd like them to be part of our Team account, whilst also be able to keep their own personal private vaults and passwords, with only one login. It looks like this is possible and I would just share the shared Vaults with them. Would I need to know their personal emails that they used for 1Password or can they merge different emails?

I would actually recommend that employees keep their personal accounts. They can add their 1Password Teams account to their existing 1Password app and use them both side by side. For example, I have a 1Password Families & Teams account. This makes it super easy and convenient to manage both from a single location. This also separates "work" and "personal" related data. Then you can invite your employees over to the account using their company email addresses which gives you a little more control since it's being used for work.

I would like to use 1Password for my own personal passwords/logins etc that are not associated with our company or team. I realize this is possible, but I'm concerned that the account I set up is tied to my company email.

Each team member by default, receives a Private & Shared vault. We recommend only adding company related data to the Private vault (ex: company email account). Anything you or the team members wish to share with each other can be added to the Shared vault. Private vaults can only be accessed by that specific individual, nobody else has access to this vault. It's not recommended for personal use since if they leave the company, they will lose access to anything within their Private vault, which brings us to the next question.

In addition, we’d like to ensure that if anyone leaves the company (including myself), their personal passwords can be accessed, even if the email address they used to sign up with 1Password is no longer valid. For example, I created a test Test account today with my company email. If I leave the company in 6 months from now, I would still like to be able to access any personal passwords that I store in a personal vault for personal use. Is this possible? Would I need to change the email for my account to be a personal email?

I highly recommend if an employee wants to use 1Password for personal use to sign up for an Individual account. As I mentioned before, both accounts can be added to the same app which makes it easy to manage both from the same location. You have the ability to move items between vaults/accounts. This is exactly what we all do here at AgileBits. :wink: If you were to leave the company in 6 months, you can just sign out of your Individual account and take it with you including all your personal data. Then you don't have to worry about changing an email address. Your Teams account will use your company email address while your Individual account will use your personal email address.

Could I still be the owner and admin for the company 1Password Team account or should the owner account use a company email?

I would recommend everyone using 1Password Teams use the company email address and for the Individual (personal) account they can use their personal email address. It's great way to keep everything separate.

Great questions! I hope this helped a bit. Keep us posted if you have any additional questions about using 1Password Teams. I'll be happy to ask a member of our Sales team reach out to you :smile: Enjoy the rest of the day!

Hi @sallymitchell - It's nice to hear back from you. I appreciate the additional details you provided and I'll be happy to clarify.

I've just created an individual account with my personal email and I'm trying to invite my personal account to the company Team account.

Congrats on the Individual account. Basically, you want to add both accounts to your existing 1Password app. You can add as many accounts to 1Password as you want but this has to be done within the apps. You have the ability to switch between your Individual and Teams account within the 1Password apps or you can view all the data at once using the "All Vaults" view.

I'm not clear if I should invite my personal email address to the company account or invite my company email to the company account?

For the 1Password Teams account, you want to use your company email address. If you already created the Teams account and you're currently the Owner, then you should already be good to go.

I'll be happy to have a member of our Sales team reach out to you and discuss this a bit more :smile: We'll reach out to you via email shortly then we can continue the conversation over there.
