    Thanks for the question, since it's not directly related to the other thread I've split it into a dedicated thread in our business support section. This is where my colleagues who are the most knowledgable about how 1Password Business works tend to spend the most time.

    The purpose of 1Password security design is to ensure that your data cannot be accessed by anyone else, including 1Password itself. Joining a 1Password Families or Business/Teams membership allows for your family or team to help you recover your access if you lose it but it doesn't give your family or team access to your items. The organization, or family organizer, helps create accounts for their individual team and family members; 1Password itself never has access to the keys.

    Starting on page 54 of our Security White Paper we go into more detail about how recovery groups work and how this process is designed to provide disaster recovery options while still keeping everyone's data safe.
