The story

1Password is built by AgileBits Inc., a company originally founded in Toronto, Canada, that later adopted its flagship product's name as the corporate brand. It grew from a bootstrapped consumer password manager into a business handling passwords, secrets and access management for enterprises, having taken outside venture funding only after many years of profitability. It remains an active, independently branded product at 1password.com with apps across major desktop and mobile platforms.
