Built for individuals, not households. When a breach hits at 2am, 1Password sends an alert — but no one's watching. You get a notification; you're on your own to figure out what to do next.
Trained to manage your calendar, not your attack surface. One phishing click on your behalf and the family is exposed. Their value is in execution, not in knowing what's actually at risk.
Covers your work email. Not your spouse's iCloud, your kid's iPad, your Coinbase, or the Sonos hub leaking your home network. The scope is the office; the exposure is at home.
There's a version of this where someone else is awake at 2am when something's wrong.
