Password management for business
1Password is a Canadian company, headquartered in Toronto, whose password manager is used by more than 165,000 businesses. Nuformat supplies and supports 1Password Business across Canada and the United States, billed monthly with no annual commitment.
The password manager holds the credentials to everything else you own. That is why 1Password uses two keys rather than one: your account password, and a 128-bit Secret Key generated on your device and never sent anywhere. Both are needed to decrypt a vault, so a phished password on its own is useless. 1Password cannot read your data either.
1Password Business
Priced per user, billed monthly
Shared vaults scoped by group, private vaults administrators cannot read, single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, event streaming to SIEM tools, custom groups and custom business reports. Twenty guest accounts, and a free Families plan for every user.

Removing someone from your identity provider revokes their 1Password access automatically. Done by hand, that step is the one that gets missed, and the password manager is the system where missing it matters most.
More on password managementWhat it does
| What it means in practice | |
|---|---|
| Shared vaults | Credentials a team needs in common, scoped by group, with view only, fill only or full edit permissions |
| Private vaults | One per person, which administrators cannot read. This is what makes people actually use it |
| Single sign-on | Works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Rippling and JumpCloud |
| SCIM provisioning | Accounts created when someone joins your identity provider, revoked when they leave |
| Watchtower | Flags weak passwords, reused passwords, logins missing two-factor, and anything found in a known breach |
| Passkeys | Stored and filled alongside passwords, for accounts that have moved past them |
| Developer tools | SSH key signing, Git commit signing, a CLI, and secrets in CI/CD pipelines |
| Data residency | Encrypted data stored in Canada, the United States or the EU, chosen at setup |
Canadian data residency
For organizations with provincial privacy obligations or contractual residency requirements, this is usually the first question and the one that decides whether a product is viable at all. 1Password can keep encrypted data in Canada, and the region is chosen when the account is created rather than changed afterwards. Tell us at order time and we will set it up correctly from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum number of users?
No. 1Password Business is priced per user with no minimum seat count and no annual commitment through Nuformat.
Can 1Password keep our data in Canada?
Yes. 1Password offers data residency in Canada, the United States and the European Union, chosen when the account is created. Moving an existing account between regions later is considerably harder.
What is the 1Password Secret Key?
A 128-bit key generated on your device and stored there, used alongside your account password to decrypt your data. Both are required, so a phished account password on its own does not open a vault.
Does 1Password work with Microsoft Entra ID?
Yes. Single sign-on and SCIM provisioning work with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, OneLogin, Rippling and JumpCloud.
Is 1Password sold in Canada and the United States?
Yes. Nuformat supplies and supports 1Password Business across Canada and the United States, billed monthly with no annual commitment.
