AgileBits recently announced that its long-in-beta product "1Password for Teams" has officially launched, bringing an enterprise-focused version of the company's popular password management app to iOS, Mac, and Android. 1Password for Teams will let users in a designated team share secure passwords, documents, and other data through AgileBits' heavily encrypted infrastructure.
Announced first in November, and now just coming out of a seven month-long beta test period, the new team sharing service gives control over a group of users to one administrator, who can then ensure that their entire team remains safe from phishing scams and hacks. With end-to-end encryption, 1Password for Teams ensures that team members don't have to risk a security breach by emailing or texting passwords between one another.
A team's administrator has access to 1Password for Teams' robust Admin Console, from which they can create password vaults and assign member access, restore a master password if a team member forgets their login information, and grant temporary access to guests.
AgileBits also promises that 1Password for Teams is backed by features that let members find "weak and reused passwords" so they can be changed proactively, a security alert system called Watchtower, a master password creator, and other various anti-phishing software. Through the service's security-minded automatic wireless syncing, users can share financial records -- like an office credit card or joint bank account -- and even various word and text documents.
Similar to its 1Password for Families plan, AgileBits has created a subscription model for its new team service. Users can get a standard subscription for $3.99 per user per month when billed annually ($4.99 when billed monthly), which includes unlimited access to 1Password's desktop and mobile apps, offline access, 1GB of storage per person, and a 30 day item history to recover lost documents.
A pro subscription is also available for $11.99 per user per month at an annual rate ($14.99 at a monthly rate), upgrading users to 5GB of storage, priority email support from AgileBits, an unlimited item history recovery system, and other top-tier features. The company is offering these pro-level features at a standard-level rate until August 1, and the pricing will be locked-in forever, so moving forward any added team members will be able to subscribe at the lower cost instead of the premium rate.

Thanks for the comments and feedback, folks!
There's no plan to abandon selling 1Password licenses. This has been our bread and butter for a long time. But, Families/Teams makes possible features that previously weren't possible. For instance, it was previously possible to have multiple vaults and share them with other people, but it required sharing the master password for that vault. There was previously no way to limit capabilities of what someone could do with a vault such as read only vaults. With the service we've built, we're able to provide those additional features that we've wanted to create for a long time. That value comes with ongoing costs in servers, bandwidth, and the like, but we're thrilled to be able to provide these new capabilities that weren't possible to do well or at all without the server side component.
There are a number of cases for shared passwords. Whether it's a family sharing a Netflix or Amazon password or a social media team sharing login credentials for the company Twitter account or an ops team sharing deployment keys for a web server, password sharing isn't ipso facto a security failure. The way that many of these passwords have historically been shared such as in Excel spreadsheets is indeed a terrible practice, but the idea of sharing some passwords is perfectly valid.
This isn't the case at all. In the event of a lapsed subscription, your account goes into a frozen state ('https://support.1password.com/frozen-account/'). We will never lock you out of your data.
Cheers!

I don't know if GeekWebGuides pays for any posts on the site, but I do know that this was not a paid post and no past coverage of 1Password has been. Several of us at AgileBits have met some of the GeekWebGuides folks in the past and would call them friends, but I suspect the answer is a little bit simpler than that. 1Password is a popular product that had a big announcement. Writing about significant updates to popular products drives traffic to the site, which I assume makes most of its money from advertising, which benefits from higher traffic. And AgileBits doesn't have a marketing team, unless you count our world class customer support. :)

We didn't pay for any advertising. In fact, we don't pay for much advertising at all and rely entirely on word of mouth for a major portion of our advertising. Happy users are our advertisers. I think it speaks a lot to the fact that we don't actually ask anyone to advertise for us and they do it for us. We do send some sites press release data from time to time but it's entirely the sites choice whether they post anything at all.
As for our Windows client, we just announced 1Password 6 for Windows beta, you can learn more here ('https://blog.agilebits.com/2016/06/02/1password-6-beta-for-windows-opens-the-door-to-1password-families-and-1password-teams/').
Hope that sheds some light on things. Feel free to ask any questions if you would like to know more about how things work for us here at AgileBits, we're often pretty open to giving information out if asked. The only thing we don't tend to discuss are future plans since we would rather under promise and over deliver.
Our Android app supports OPVault since 6.3 ('https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPA4#20160419'). Sorry if this wasn't clearly communicated before!
