The free one-year subscription is a recurring promotional campaign frequently offered by the password manager 1Password. By registering through a designated link, users can claim a membership and enjoy full access across all platforms. Overall, the user experience with 1Password is widely regarded as excellent.
However, what happens once the one-year subscription expires? After the subscription ends, users can still access the password manager, but editing or updating stored data—such as saving new accounts and passwords—will no longer be possible.
Many users circumvent this limitation by registering a new account, exporting all data from the old one, and importing it into the newly created account. This method allows them to continue enjoying another year of the 1Password Family Plan for free, provided the promotional offer is available again the following year.
For example, if in July 2025, 1Password offers a one-year Family Plan subscription, and the next promotion doesn’t appear until December 2026, users would face a five-month gap. During this period, they may choose to pay for a monthly subscription or simply refrain from saving new data until the next promotion allows them to register a new account and transfer their data.
1Password’s free one-year Family Plan promotion has been ongoing for many years. However, due to strategic operational decisions, these campaigns are not run consecutively. As a result, some users whose subscriptions expire choose to renew rather than discontinue use—after all, switching to a new password manager and adapting to a different workflow is no small task.
Ultimately, the choice rests with the user. For now, simply click the link and register using your email to receive one year of the Family Plan for free—no promo code required.
