1password
1Password is a password manager tool that lets you store and sync all your passwords and data across every single device you own or use. You can store your login information, payment details, personal information in 1Password, so you don't need to remember them yourself. 1Password is compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, Linux, Android, and Chrome OS.
How does 1Password work?
All the information stored in your 1Password account is encrypted using AES 256-encryption, and you're the only one who can decrypt it and see it. Unlike some other password managers, the company behind 1Password can't see your information at all, which means they can't use it, share it, or sell it.
Go & Fill: 1 Click, That's It.
Selecting one of your saved logins from 1Password's Go & Fill menu takes you to the site, securely fills your username and password, and logs you in, all with a single click or a few keystrokes.
Online Shopping Made Easy
Once you've created your identities, select one in your web browser to quickly fill out a contact form. Store multiple credit cards to simplify and speed up your online shopping, filling checkout forms with ease.
Always By Your Side
Now you can take your information with you so that it's always on hand. Mobile versions of 1Password are available for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad as separate purchases through the iTunes App Store. Apps for Android and Windows Phone 7 are currently in beta.
1Password for family and work
You can use 1Password with your family to share login details for shared services like Wi-Fi and Netflix. It's also an easy way to introduce your family to the importance of security hygiene, especially for younger family members who are beginning to explore the online world. By setting yourself up as the 'Family Organizer,' you'll have admin privileges giving you overall control of the family account.
For work-related tasks, 1Password Business lets companies choose which employees have access to passwords and can access items stored in a Vault, create and manage custom groups with individual permissions and generate reports to gain valuable insights into how your company is utilizing 1Password, and track breached domains and passwords.
Has 1Password ever been hacked?
No, 1Password has never been hacked. Even if they were, your passwords and data would remain safe. Your Master Password and Secret Key are never actually sent to or held by 1Password. If 1Password's servers were hacked, the attackers still can't see your password.
1Password also uses encryption, which means only you can read your data. Even if it's intercepted, you still need your Master Password and Secret Key to decrypt the data no matter where it's sent to or stored.
What are the alternatives?
There are a number of alternatives to 1Password such as LastPass, Dashlane, Bitwarden, and Keepass. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some tools offer free versions with limited access to features.
How much does 1Password cost?
If you want to use 1Password, you'll need to choose one of the available subscription plans. However, there's also a free 2-week trial, so you can decide if you want to pay for the service. The Personal and Family plans are aimed towards personal use, where-as the Team and Business options are targeted towards small teams and businesses. If you're a large enterprise, you can also request a custom quote.

LastPass
Lastpass is basically a free password manager that makes your web browsing easier and more secure by bringing everything under one password. Lastpass can create strong passwords that protect all sites, meaning that logging into your favorite browser, network or secure network becomes a one-step affair.
Lastpass is particularly useful for those that want to work together securely in different locations because it allows you share credentials to log in via Lastpass.
This includes those that are working on Mac and Windows platforms as it works across both. Of course, the big concern is security - if your Lastpass password is lost or obtained by someone else, it makes everything protected under it vulnerable. However, it does use SSL and RSA encryption so you should be OK.
