When should I deactivate inactive devices

Options

On the My Profile page, you have a section named "Authorized Devices". Below that, you have a list of many different uses. Some are repeated, same device, many different dates. Some are devices I no longer have. When should I deactivate inactive devices?

    Hi @Luikart! If you are no longer using a device, you can definitely de-authorize it right away. Here is how to do that: https://support.1password.com/lost-device/#deauthorize-the-lost-device.

    In the article above, the recommendation is to do it if you lose your device or if it has been stolen. However, if you have a device that you're simply no longer using, I would also recommend de-authorizing that device. Doing this provides an extra layer of security, which is always a good thing.

    Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.
