U2f 1password



U2f

The YubiKey and 1Password together provide an additional layer of security to your personal and business accounts. With two-factor authentication enabled with your 1Password accounts, you effectively protect your credentials and accounts from unauthorized access. Note that U2F in this case is only about authentication, not decryption of data. This is why it's only used on initial setup of your account on a new device. The cryptography side for unlocking 1Password is entirely independent of U2F/MFA. Hope that helps but let me know if you have any questions. 1Password Support Team.

You can now use Yubikey with our two-factor authentication to protect your 1Password account. Two quick notes: it'll require the Yubico Authenticator app so Mac, Windows, Android.

Learn how to set up two-factor authentication and manage your authorized devices.

Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of protection for your 1Password account. When turned on, a second factor will be required to sign in to your account on a new device, in addition to your Master Password and Secret Key.

Get an authenticator app

Before you can use two-factor authentication with your 1Password account, you’ll need to install an authenticator app on your mobile device:

Although 1Password can be used to store one-time passwords for other services where you use two-factor authentication, it’s important to use a different authenticator app to store the authentication codes for your 1Password account. Storing them in 1Password would be like putting the key to a safe inside the safe itself.

Set up two-factor authentication

To turn on two-factor authentication:

  1. Sign in to your account on 1Password.com.
  2. Click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.
  3. Click More Actions > Manage Two-Factor Authentication.
  4. Click Set Up App. You’ll see a square barcode (QR code).

    To save a backup of your two-factor authentication code, write down the 16-character secret next to the QR code and store it somewhere safe, like with your passport and Emergency Kit.

  5. On your mobile device, open your authenticator app and use it to scan the QR code. After you scan the QR code, you’ll see a six-digit authentication code.
  6. On 1Password.com, click Next. Enter the six-digit authentication code, then click Confirm.

Your 1Password account is now protected by two-factor authentication. To continue using your account on other devices or to sign in to it on a new device, you’ll need to enter a six-digit authentication code from your authenticator app.

Tip

After you set up two-factor authentication, if you have a U2F security key, like YubiKey or Titan, you can use it as a second factor with your 1Password account.
