What's this for?

Before getting started with the hackathon, establish a 1Password account.

Sign-up for 1Password Dev Tools:

1Password's security is uniquely strong

You will need to create a password for your account. Your device (e.g., laptop and browser) will be used to generate a Secret Key.

Think of them as two keys to one lock. The password is for everyday unlocking, while the Secret Key is for setting up new devices and authorizing access.

Set up an account password you can easily remember:

Next step is to establish a password for your account:

Notice that 1Password cannot help you recover or reset your password. I'll have to see if this will become an issue. 😳

1Password cannot reset this password. If you forget it, you might lose access to your account.

Get your unique Secret Key

Click the Generate Secret Key button.

TIP: Make sure to click the Save PDF button to get a copy of your secret key.

Finally, your 1Password Account is created!

Now that my account is established, it's time to come up with an idea for the hackathon. See you in the next article!
