9. You will be presented with a QR code and a string of text. You will need to scan the QR code or enter the string of text into the app that you downloaded in Step 1. Once you have successfully obtained a six digit code, click next

10. Enter the six digit code from the previous step and click confirm

11. You will be prompted to download your Emergency Kit which contains your Secret Key, the email associated with your account and the login URL for the account. It will also have a space for your master password and a QR code that you can scan with the 1password desktop or mobile apps to make signing in easier.

Keep your Emergency Kit Safe! This document contains most of your sign-in information. We recommend printing it out and storing it somewhere safe and also saving a copy to your cloud storage.

 

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up 1password. This application will allow you to save more than just passwords and logins. You can save the details of software licenses, legal documents and even credit cards in here securely.
