Dec 14, 2020 Microsoft Authenticator is a free and essential app used for two-factor authentication with code generation and on-device notifications.The app is available on iOS and Android, geared towards. 2 days ago 1Password also has offers for Teams and Business users. The former costs $3.99/month and the latter $7.99/month.Teams include unlimited shared vaults, admin controls, and 1 GB document storage per person. 1Password business, on top of that, has 5 GB of document storage per person, 20 guest accounts, custom roles, usage reports, and more. Microsoft is testing out a new password-management feature in its Authenticator app, which makes the former even more useful as a one-stop shop for all of your account-related information. I used Google Authenticator to generate one-time codes for every time I logged into my 1Password account. I’m happy that 1Password has a two-factor authentication option, but it would be great if they included more advanced options, like Keeper’s biometric and smartwatch 2FA options. 1Password also uses end-to-end encryption for data security. It also supports 2FA both as an additional security step after entering your master password and as an authenticator for your logins. As for privacy, 1Password is owned by AgileBits.

Two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of protection for your 1Password account. If you have a U2F-compatible security key, you can use it as a second factor in supported apps and browsers instead of a six-digit authentication code.

Tip

If you don’t have a U2F security key, use two-factor authentication with an authenticator app.

Click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.

Insert your security key into the USB port on your computer.
If Windows Security asks you to create a PIN, enter one and click OK. Your PIN is stored locally on your security key.
Touch the sensor on your security key.
When you see “Your security key was successfully registered”, click Done.
