The new backup plugin is for 1Password. As the name suggests, it is a password management software that helps users store passwords in a secure manner.

What is 1Password

1Password is a password manager developed by AgileBits. It provides a place for users to store various passwords, software licenses, and other sensitive information in a virtual vault that is locked with a PBKDF2-guarded master password. Store anything from logins and secure notes to SSH keys and sensitive documents. You can even monitor and mitigate security risks like potential breaches, password health, and team usage from your insights dashboard.

How to backup and restore 1Password using the Backup4all plugin

First of all, how does the new backup plugin help? The plugin will help you back-up 1Password user files, roaming files and local files, so that if you reinstall the program or migrate it to a different computer you’ll be able to restore its settings and files with Backup4all. Basically you won’t have to figure out which files you need to move/copy when you reinstall 1Password, as the plugin will automatically select the correct files as source for the backup.

  1. Download and install the backup plugin here: 1Password backup plugin
