Two related questions- is there a site license price for business users and is there a central shared password management function for an IT work group?

Does 1password track the history of passwords? We use SAP, Microsoft Exchange, and some Sharepoints, which require password changes every 30 days. I need to know what the previous passwords were since we can't use any passwords previously used in 24 months.

   Hi there,

   Thanks for taking the time to write to us.

   is there a site license price for business users

   We do offer business multi-seat licenses in our business store:
   https://agilebits.com/store/business

   is there a central shared password management function for an IT work group?

   There is not, currently.

   Sharing is currently all or nothing. Either you have the same keychain as someone else, or you have an entirely separate keychain. We hope to add more fine grained sharing and other more business specific features in the future.

   Does 1password track the history of passwords?

   Yes, all generated passwords are saved, as well as any passwords that are updated directly through 1Password. Please see this screenshot for an example:

   I hope that helps. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

   Hi Ben,

   Any plans to make group sharing possible in the near future? I'm a personal user of 1Password, and I love it. I'm now shopping for a password solution for my 5 person office, and I've tried three other products that are set up for groups. I hate them all. No one stands up to the design, ease, or security of 1Pass. Do you have any solutions I can offer my company?

   Thanks so much,
   -Jen

   Hi Jen,

   That's certainly something we're exploring for the future, though I couldn't promise when it may be a part of 1Password as it's quite a big departure from our current 'personal' model for 1Password. That doesn't mean it won't happen, but obviously there's a lot to consider before we could make it happen, most notably how to securely share the items without massive amounts of complexity that most users will never want to deal with.

   Do keep an eye on our blog at http://blog.agilebits.com as we tend to announce new features there first.

   Please record a +1 for me as well for some sort of group ability.

   At a previous job, we used keepass and had multiple data files for each department. You were given the password to that data file if you needed it. When someone left, we knew which passwords they had access to and changed them as appropriate.

   We don't need anything super fancy, just a way to ensure that only some people have access to some passwords. However that works, we're willing to be flexible.

   Two thoughts I've had:
   1) The ability to share a single 1password file with multiple people, and segregate folders to different folks (people outside of IT shouldn't have access to database passwords). Perhaps folders can be set up with a different password?

   OR

   1) The ability to create/use multiple files (with associated master passwords) and switch between them (we'd manage giving people the master p/w)

   I agree it's a hard problem but if you can get it right, I think it has a potential to be majorly disruptive. Most other groupware password solutions are terrible, require infrastructure, and are incredibly expensive (very enterprise-y). I'd have to imagine something focused on the smaller scale (teams 5-10 people) would be very valuable.

   Thanks!

   Hi Matt,

   Thanks for the +1, we definitely hear the requests for this.

   As mentioned previously, we don't have any timeframe for this but it is something we'd love to offer.

   Multiple files would be difficult due to the browser extensions (they'd need to be re-installed each time you change files). Plus, the Mac App Store version isn't multi-file friendly either.

   The first option is more sane. But still very difficult.

   Hopefully we'll have something we can do to help with this in the future. Thanks for the input and suggestions though!

   Have a fantastic weekend!

   Cheers!
