Your team already has a password problem. Most just have not noticed yet.

1Password is an enterprise password and passkey manager that stores credentials, passkeys and sensitive information in an end-to-end encrypted vault. It gives IT and security teams secure sharing, policy enforcement and administrative visibility across every application employees use.

Both are enterprise credential managers and The Kernel distributes both. Bitwarden is open source with a self-hosting option, which matters where data sovereignty is a requirement. 1Password is a commercial platform often chosen for user experience and speed of rollout. The decision usually turns on that trade-off.

Yes. 1Password stores and manages passkeys alongside traditional passwords, letting an organisation adopt passwordless authentication progressively rather than in a single migration. Applications that still require passwords keep working while passkey-capable services move across.

1Password integrates with enterprise identity providers for single sign-on and supports automated user provisioning and deprovisioning. Accounts are created and revoked from the identity system rather than managed separately, which closes the gap where departed employees retain vault access.

1Password suits organisations where employees manage credentials across dozens of applications and informal sharing has become the norm. It is most valuable to IT and security teams that need visibility into credential hygiene rather than simply issuing a password policy.

The Kernel distributes 1Password across the UAE, Middle East, Africa and CIS to enterprise and government buyers, through its channel partner network. This includes deployment support, integration with existing identity systems, and user training — not licence supply alone.
