SBA uses 1Pass, a password management software designed to enhance security and streamline password management. Through the deployment of 1Pass, SBA achieves the following:

1. Secure Password Storage: 1Pass securely stores all passwords in an encrypted vault, protecting them from unauthorised access. It eliminates the need for employees to remember multiple passwords and encourages the use of strong, unique passwords for each account.
2. Password Generation: The software includes a password generator that creates strong, complex passwords for each account. This ensures that passwords are resistant to brute-force attacks and increases overall account security.
3. Auto-Fill and Auto-Login: The software automatically fills in login credentials for websites and applications, eliminating the need for employees to enter passwords manually. This feature saves time, reduces the risk of password mistakes, and discourages the use of easily guessable passwords.
4. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): 1Pass supports Two-Factor Authentication, adding an extra layer of security to user accounts. It also prompts employees to provide a second form of authentication, such as a fingerprint or a time-based one-time password (TOTP), to verify their identity.
5. Audit Trail and Activity Monitoring: The software provides audit trail and activity monitoring capabilities, allowing administrators to track password usage and changes. This helps ensure accountability, identify suspicious activity, and respond promptly to any security incidents.
6. Password Expiry and Renewal: 1Pass enables administrators to set password expiration policies, prompting users to update their passwords regularly. This helps mitigate the risk of using outdated or compromised passwords and encourages good password hygiene practices.
7. Enterprise-Level Security: 1Pass employs robust encryption algorithms and follows industry best practices to protect passwords and sensitive data. It adheres to stringent security standards, ensuring the highest level of security for your organisation's password management needs.

By incorporating 1Pass in SBA’s IT policy, SBA aims to have secure password management practices, reduce the risk of password-related security breaches, and enhance our overall cybersecurity posture.
