FIVE individual accounts? 1Password Family explained

1Password is a family password manager. I will explain how the owner can administer the users and the vaults, the different roles and who can create vaults. Who can see what. What can users create and do as a member of the family group.

I appreciate this video. As I watch it though I have two concerns with the family account that may be deal breakers for me. First I am about 13 minutes in to the video and I still have not heard anything about accessing the individual private vaults. I ASSUME that each person has their own unique master password which they use to get into their own private vault, but I didn't hear that really made clear. Second, as the discussion continued about shared vaults, it highlights to me the danger inherent with putting anything in the central shared vault since anything in there could be accessed multiple ways by bad guys since in this example there would be five times as many users with master passwords, the risk would be much greater someone would be leaving their master password exposed to the bad guys. I would exercise extreme caution with leaving anything in the shared public vault. I would not do this at all without 2FA enabled.

Thanks for your comment! To answer your questions: yes, each family member has their own private vault which only they can access. In regards to the security of individual accounts, 1Password uses a secret key that is required when logging in to a new computer/phone etc. apparently the secret key is not even known by 1Password. This adds an extra xtra layer of protection. When you initially sign up for an account, you are issued the secret key. If you lose it though, you are out of luck as 1Password cannot retrieve it for you.
