Centralized credential management has transformed password rotation and streamlined compliance
What is our primary use case?
1Password Business is used to save all service account credentials for team members, with the need to keep everything in one centralized location. Multiple locations are created for each team, such as one for the analytics team, where all passwords, EC2 key pairs, and other credentials are stored and shared with team members for their use.
1Password Business is used to retrieve passwords, and when new passwords are created, the password browser integration auto-populates the credentials whenever connecting to the single sign-on environment, filling in both username and password from the vault.
AWS IAM access keys are currently stored in the password vault for a critical application where IAM roles cannot be used. IAM access keys are rotated regularly through a separate pipeline that generates new access key and secret key every 85 days. These are seamlessly updated to the 1Password Business vault, and the application team retrieves the new credentials from the vault.
How has it helped my organization?
1Password Business saves 10 to 15 hours of workforce time every week, totaling almost 50 hours every month. There is no longer a need to have dedicated users rotating passwords, sharing passwords with others, or ensuring stakeholders receive updated credentials via email. Critical password details are no longer shared with individual persons through email, which significantly reduces time spent on password management, sharing, and coordination across the team and organization.
Operational processes have improved considerably. Previously, whenever passwords or access keys were rotated, they were shared with individual team members, which was not secure. With 1Password Business implementation, critical password details are updated to the vault and accessible only to team members with appropriate permissions. This has solved numerous operational challenges related to password rotation and addresses regulatory compliance requirements. The organization can now demonstrate evidence of secure password storage, which has been instrumental in obtaining security clearance in the life sciences and healthcare sectors.
What is most valuable?
1Password Business provides seamless integration with multiple services, AWS accounts, and enables easy management of the password vault and passwords. The automatic password rotation feature is particularly valuable, as rotated passwords are automatically updated to the 1Password Business vault.
The time savings achieved through 1Password Business is significant, eliminating 10 to 15 hours of workforce time weekly and approximately 50 hours monthly. Previously, dedicated users were required to rotate passwords, share them with others, and notify stakeholders when passwords expired. This information no longer needs to be shared via email, and the time previously spent on these tasks has been substantially reduced.
What needs improvement?
More integration with third-party SaaS products would be beneficial. During the initial onboarding process, seamless integration with other services was not fully realized, and proper documentation was lacking. However, after becoming comfortable with the system, the overall experience has been very positive.
For how long have I used the solution?
1Password Business has been in use for the last one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
There have been no issues with 1Password Business regarding reliability, and no challenges have been encountered.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
1Password Business supports organizational growth by accommodating increasing numbers of passwords and integrations with multiple services.
How was the initial setup?
The setup and management of 1Password Business is straightforward, and it securely stores passwords effectively.
What was our ROI?
1Password Business saves 10 to 15 hours of workforce time every week, totaling almost 50 hours every month. Dedicated users are no longer required to rotate passwords, share passwords with others, or notify stakeholders via email when passwords expire. The elimination of email-based credential sharing has significantly reduced time spent on these tasks, resulting in approximately 50 hours of time saved monthly.
What other advice do I have?
1Password Business is deployed in a hybrid cloud environment using Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the cloud provider alongside public cloud and private cloud environments with some SaaS products.
An identity provider, Okta, has been integrated with 1Password Business, eliminating user onboarding challenges and providing seamless integration with Okta single sign-on.
Groups and roles are utilized to grant access to specific team members. Audit features are not currently in use. Integration exists with the AWS environment and single sign-on, but not with other services beyond these. Password rotation is partially automated, with some rotations completed manually.
The overall experience with 1Password Business has been smooth and positive. The review rating for this solution is 9 out of 10.

What do you dislike about the product?
The standard is for passwords to be saved by the domain, and it does not consider subdomains, which sometimes causes passwords from different systems to be saved in the same place (but this can be resolved by checking "save only for this specific domain", however, this is an extra step that could be standard.
