Happy Thanksgiving to our US Friends!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the United States!

As many of you know we are a Canadian company so technically our holiday was last month. With that said, more that 75% of our staff are US residents so we feel we're allowed to celebrate twice! I for one love turkey and pie so I'm very thankful to be able to celebrate on both the US and Canadian dates :)

To celebrate Thanksgiving this year we wanted to do something extra special for our customers. 1Password is the most popular password manager because of you, and so we wanted to thank YOU with a free copy of 1Password!

Of course customers would already have a license, but we thought it would make an excellent Thanksgiving present you can send to a friend to remind them how much you care.

Take a moment to think about who you are thankful for this holiday season, then jump over to our Giving Thanks web page to send them the gift of security and simplicity:

Giving a gift is easy! Just enter the address you used to purchase 1Password on the page above, along with your name and the details for the gift, then we'll send your friend an email with your gift and personalized message.

Your 1Password Master Password and You

Installing 1Password for the very first time involves creating the initial master password (you can change it later if you desire). This password is used to unlock the 1Password keychain and access all your data contained within 1Password. Without this password, no one can access your 1Password data when the 1Password keychain is locked. Obviously, this is the one password you will need to remember and is the reason that the program is named 1Password. I want to address a couple of issues that arise from time to time regarding the master password.

1. There is no way to recover a lost or forgotten master password so choose wisely
