1Password
Password manager with strong developer-focused tooling — CLI, SSH agent, and secrets injection.
Proprietary securitypasswords
Pricing
From $2.99/month individual, team plans from $7.99/user/month.
1Password’s developer tooling is the differentiator here — the CLI can inject secrets into environment variables at runtime, and its SSH agent means private keys never touch disk unencrypted.
Key features
- 1Password CLI for secrets injection into scripts/CI
- Built-in SSH agent — no more unencrypted keys on disk
- Biometric unlock across desktop and mobile
- Team vaults with granular sharing permissions
Self-hosted vs. cloud
Fully managed SaaS — vault data syncs through 1Password’s servers, end-to-end encrypted. No self-hosted option.
Quick start
# macOS
brew install --cask 1password 1password-cli
Alternatives
Vaultwarden if self-hosting the vault is a hard requirement — you’ll lose some of the developer-specific tooling.
