Enterprise Password Manager

 


 

Advisory: Please ensure you are only adding work-related items to your Employee Vault.
 

Overview

1Password is a password management tool used to generate, store, and securely share passwords all in one centralized platform. Keeping track of multiple passwords for different accounts can become overwhelming. University Information Technology (UIT) at York has made 1Password available to support our community in maintaining strong digital security practices and to simplify the process of password management.
