 1Password has launched two new features to make using one of the best 
password managers even easier. 

First off, recovery codes will look to help 1Password users securely recover 
their accounts even without their account password or secret key. 

The second feature will provide users with the means to add their 1Password 
account to a new device quickly and securely by scanning a QR code with their 
mobile device, acting as a multi-factor authenticator . User experience just 
keeps getting better (Image credit: 1Password) 

1Password has been working hard in recent months to improve security and user 
experience, with the launch of the every-device secure sign-in solution back 
in May 2024, providing businesses with the means to manage sign-ins on every 
device registered to the organization. 

The recovery codes should be set up while you have access to your account, 
otherwise you may struggle to log in if your forget your password or secret 
key. The unique code should be stored somewhere safe until you need it. 

The QR code scanner provides a secure channel between your mobile device and 
the device you are signing in to. As an added bonus, 1Password have also made 
manual sign in easier and more intuitive. Currently in beta, this feature is 
expected to be fully functional by the end of summer 2024. More from
