Why We Recommend 1Password for Password Management
At Ultrex, we spend a lot of time helping people stay secure without making their day-to-day work miserable. Password management is one of those areas where “secure” and “easy” usually don’t get along — but they can. That’s why we recommend 1Password.
The Only Three Passwords You Should Ever Know
Here’s a simple rule we teach our clients:
👉 You should only need to remember three passwords — your phone, your email, and your password manager.
That’s it. Those three are your skeleton keys.
- Your phone verifies your identity (usually with a PIN or biometrics).
- Your email is the reset hub — if someone gets into it, they can reset everything else.
- Your password manager (like 1Password) is the secure vault that stores everything else.
Lock those three down with strong, unique passwords and multi-factor authentication (MFA), and you’ve built a serious wall around your digital life. Everything else can — and should — live in your password manager.
Why 1Password Is Our Pick
1Password gets two things right: it’s safer and easier than the alternatives.
It automatically creates strong, unique passwords for every account you use and stores them in an encrypted vault. You unlock that vault with one master password — and everything else just works.
It integrates with your browser and phone, autofills passwords, remembers new ones, and even stores MFA codes. In practice, it saves you time and frustration.
Standout Features:
- 🔒 Watchtower alerts — warns you about weak, reused, or breached passwords
- 🤝 Secure password sharing for teams
- 📱 Cross-device syncing — so your logins follow you everywhere
- 🧩 MFA integration — built right in
It’s simple enough for individuals, powerful enough for businesses, and trusted by some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world.
When to Do a Password Review
If you’ve reused passwords, skipped MFA, or used the same login across multiple accounts, it’s time to take a hard look at your security habits.
A great place to start is HaveIBeenPwned.com.
Type in your email, and it’ll tell you if your information has been exposed in any known data breaches. (Spoiler: most people show up at least once.)
If your info has been compromised, that’s your cue to:
- Stop reusing passwords
- Turn on MFA everywhere that supports it
- Move to a password manager like 1Password
Once your data is leaked, it’s out there for good — the only fix is to make those old passwords useless to anyone who finds them.
Easier Security That Actually Works
We recommend 1Password because it makes doing the right thing the easy thing.
It takes the stress, guesswork, and post-it notes out of password management.
If you’re still trying to remember logins or using that “one password with a number at the end,” it’s time for an upgrade. Tools like 1Password don’t just protect your accounts — they simplify your day.

Why We Don’t Bill Per Call or Per Ticket
This is also exactly why Ultrex doesn’t bill per call or per ticket.
We want you to call us before things go wrong — like when it’s time to set up a password manager or train your team on how to use it. That’s all part of your retainer. Because we’re rewarded for the same thing you are: a secure, efficient workplace where everything just works.
Too many IT companies charge you to do the training and then charge you again when things break. That means they get paid extra either way — which doesn’t make sense for you.
At Ultrex, we do it differently. We invest time upfront to make sure your systems, your people, and your security are all set up right the first time.
