What happens after cancellation

  • You have 1 year of read-only access to your vault after the subscription ends — you can view and export passwords, but not edit or sync.

  • Browser extensions and apps will keep showing your vault data in read-only mode.

  • After 1 year, the vault is permanently removed from 1Password's servers.

  • Export your vault to 1pux or CSV format before cancelling — this preserves all passwords.

Will I lose my data, playlists, or history?

1Password keeps your encrypted vault in read-only mode for 1 year after cancellation, giving you time to migrate. After 1 year, the encrypted vault is permanently deleted from their servers. You can request immediate deletion via [email protected] if you've already migrated and want it gone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1Should I export my 1Password vault before cancelling?

Yes — always. Open the 1Password desktop app > File > Export > All Items. Choose 1pux (proprietary, preserves attachments) for re-import to 1Password, or CSV for import to Bitwarden / Apple Passwords / Dashlane / other managers.

Q2What's a free 1Password alternative?

Bitwarden (free tier covers unlimited passwords and devices, $10/year Premium adds 2FA codes and 1GB attachments) is the closest like-for-like. Apple Passwords (built into iOS 17+) is free for Apple users. Proton Pass is free with paid tier for advanced features.

Q3Can I downgrade from Families to Individual instead of cancelling?

Yes. Go to 1password.com > My Account > Billing > Change Plan. Choose Individual ($2.99/mo). The other family members lose Premium access immediately when you switch.

Q4Is 1Password Families worth $4.99/month for the whole family?

If 2 or more family members actively use it, yes — $4.99 covers 5 people, vs $14.95 for 5 individual plans. For just yourself, switch to Individual or use the free Bitwarden tier.
