Several layers of protection guard the data you store in 1Password, but is it enough to defend against cyberattacks like credential stuffing?

Creativity can be fickle. One day, your brain is full of bright ideas you’re keen to jot down, develop, and share with others. The next day, you have nothing. Zilch. Not even a flicker of an idea. You suddenly feel like a world-class restaurant that’s run out of ingredients.

No-one wants to feel burned out at work. Battling physical or emotional exhaustion can quickly impact your health, happiness, and any sense of professional fulfillment. That in turn can affect your productivity and the likelihood that you’ll make an honest mistake that puts your company’s data at risk.

In 2020, millions of businesses were thrust into remote work. What started as necessity has revealed lasting benefits for both employers and employees, though. The model improved productivity and employee morale, while lowering operational costs. Between these benefits and the continued priority of worker safety, many startups are launching with a remote or hybrid approach from the outset.

Web browsers are indispensable tools for navigating the internet, but you should think twice before entrusting your secrets to them.

As a startup, you might have branded swag well before a cybersecurity strategy. And it’s not hard to understand why. Printing stickers is easy. Knowing where to start with security – the who, what, how, and why – can feel a bit more daunting. But it doesn’t have to, and is far more important to your company’s future.

If you feel like you can’t go a week without hearing about yet another data breach on the news, you’re not experiencing déjà vu. Data breaches are on the rise, and massive organizations like Solar Winds and Facebook aren’t the only ones vulnerable to attack.

Many companies feel like they’ve successfully pivoted to remote and hybrid work. Team members have learned the tools and processes required to be successful outside the office, and IT departments have adjusted their security rules and policies accordingly. But now, nearly two years into the pandemic, another cybersecurity threat has emerged: employee burnout.

A unique feature of 1Password’s security is the Secret Key, but its value is often misunderstood by users and security experts alike. Instead of thinking in terms of “is it like a second factor” or “is it like a key file” it’s best to explain it in terms of what it actually does: It protects you if we were to be breached.

You don’t reuse passwords, so why are you reusing your usernames? Using a unique username does more than just protect your privacy, it also has important security benefits.
