Get a 1Password team account for free to support your open source initiatives!
The Lens
This is not a tool you install. It's 1Password's program that gives free team accounts to open source projects. If you maintain an open source project and need to share API keys, deployment credentials, or service passwords with contributors, this gets you a 1Password Teams account at no cost.
The application is straightforward: submit your open source project, demonstrate active maintenance, and 1Password provides a free team account with all the premium features: shared vaults, access controls, and the 1Password CLI for CI/CD integration.
This matters because open source projects constantly struggle with credential management. Sharing secrets over Discord DMs or unencrypted emails is how breaches happen. A proper password manager with team vaults is the right answer.
The catch: this is a proprietary product offered for free, not open source software. 1Password itself is closed-source. If 1Password changes or ends this program, you'd need to migrate. And the free tier is specifically for open source teams; your startup or side business doesn't qualify. For an actually open source password manager, Vaultwarden (self-hosted Bitwarden) is the alternative. It's more work to set up but you own everything.

Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
freemium### Free (Open Source Program)
- Full 1Password Teams account for qualifying open source projects - Shared vaults, access controls, 2FA - 1Password CLI for CI/CD secrets injection - Requirements: active open source project, OSI-approved license
### 1Password Pricing (If You Don't Qualify)
- **Individual:** $2.99/mo - **Families:** $4.99/mo (5 users) - **Teams Starter Pack:** $19.95/mo (up to 10 users) - **Business:** $7.99/user/mo - **Enterprise:** Custom pricing
### The Math
If you qualify: $0. If you don't: $7.99/user/mo for business features. A 10-person team pays $79.90/mo. Vaultwarden self-hosted on a $5/mo VPS is $5/mo total for unlimited users, but you're responsible for backups, updates, and security.
Free for qualifying open source projects. Otherwise, 1Password starts at $2.99/mo individual or $7.99/user/mo for teams.
