Enrollment

Within the email, please click the Join Now button to start the enrollment process. A new browser window will appear, requesting that you create an account password. This password is known as the Master Password by 1Password. The password should have a length of at least 24 characters. As with your domain password it's recommend you use a long sentence or a series of memorable words.  Additionally, do not use your domain password. This ensures your 1Password account remains secure if your domain account is ever compromised.
