I hope you’re able to make your password management more secure and less of a hassle with a tool like 1Password. I have now moved over to 1Password on all my Mac devices and Windows VMs. Video 1 shows logging in to on both Mac and Windows, with the single password stored in my synched vault. You can do this in both Mac and Windows-because you used the same 1Password account and are syncing your vault, that login and password will be available in both platforms. 1Password will notice this and offer to store the passwords in your “vault.” Soon, you’ll have stored lots of passwords in 1Password.

An efficient way to do this is to disable autofill for usernames and passwords in your browser (if you have this enabled) and then just access these sites and enter passwords normally.

You need to get your logins and passwords into 1Password. Figure 1 shows them in use.įigure 1_Main 1Password windows on Mac and Windows 1Password Use I linked both apps to my 1Password account.

1Password SetupĪfter I signed up for a 1Password account, I downloaded and installed the 1Password app for Mac on my MacBook Pro® and the 1Password app for Windows in my Windows 10 VM. There are a number of different ways to use 1Password, but I’ll focus on the way that seems to work best with Parallels Desktop: 1Password for Families syncing to an account on the AgileBits server. Note: 1Password is also currently part of the Parallels Desktop bundle so you can get it easily as part of this deal. In this blog post, I’ll show you how I use 1Password with Parallels Desktop virtual machines (VMs).

1Password works on Mac, Windows PCs, and iOS devices. There are automated password management systems, and one of the most popular is 1Password. The Parallels Desktop® for Mac user has even more of a password problem-in addition to passwords on the Mac®, you have passwords on Windows, too.

These are both manual password management approaches, but neither are good practices. So you write them on sticky notes (don’t laugh, we’ve all done this, me included) and you re-use the same password for different accounts (I’m guilty of this, too). Everyone needs passwords-dozens and dozens of them-and most people think they’re a real hassle to remember and use.
