Alternative to 1Password: Meet OneckPass

If you landed on this page, you are probably in one of these situations: the 14-day 1Password trial ended, the dollar pricing is weighing on your budget, or you simply want to evaluate other options before committing to a subscription.

You are not alone. The search for 1Password alternatives is one of the most frequent in the password manager segment, especially among Brazilian and Latin American users. The reason is clear: 1Password does not offer a free plan and charges exclusively in US dollars, which makes the service significantly more expensive for those earning in Brazilian Real.

In this article, we will present OneckPass as a viable alternative, honestly analyzing where it compares, where it differs, and for whom it makes more sense.

Why Look for a 1Password Alternative?

1Password is one of the most respected password managers on the market. Founded in 2006 in Toronto, it has built a solid reputation over nearly two decades. Its interface is polished, security is robust, and features like Watchtower and Travel Mode are benchmarks in the segment.

That said, there are legitimate reasons to look for alternatives:

1. No Free Plan

1Password is one of the few password managers that does not offer any free plan. There is only a 14-day trial, after which you must subscribe to a paid plan. For many users, especially those just starting to adopt a password manager, this barrier to entry can be an obstacle.

2. Dollar Pricing

1Password's Individual plan costs US$ 2.99/month. At first glance, it seems cheap. But for those earning in Brazilian Real, the math changes:

Direct conversion: ~R$ 17.40/month
IOF tax: +4.38% on international transactions
Card spread: variable, can reach 6%
Estimated real cost: ~R$ 19-20/month

Over a year, that represents more than R$ 220, a significant amount for a service that many competitors offer for less or even for free.

3. Closed Source

1Password operates with closed source code. Although the company conducts periodic security audits, it is not possible for the community or independent researchers to verify the source code at any time. For some users, this is a point of concern.

4. International-Only Payment

There is no option to pay in Brazilian Real. No PIX, no boleto, no domestic debit card. For a significant portion of Brazilians who do not have an international credit card, it is simply not possible to subscribe to 1Password.

OneckPass as an Alternative

OneckPass was developed with the goal of offering security equivalent to the best password managers on the market, with affordable pricing adapted to the Brazilian reality.

Uncompromised Security

OneckPass encryption uses AES-256-GCM with Argon2id as the key derivation function. To put this in context:

AES-256-GCM is the same standard used by 1Password, defense agencies, and the financial sector
Argon2id is the most modern and resilient KDF function available, winner of the Password Hashing Competition
The architecture is zero-knowledge: the server never has access to your master password or your plaintext data
All encryption and decryption happens on your device, never on the server

In practice, your data receives the same level of protection it would receive with 1Password.

Functional Free Plan

Unlike 1Password, OneckPass offers a free plan with no time limit:

50 items (logins, cards, notes, identities)
2 vaults for organization
50MB of attachment storage
TOTP (two-factor authentication) included
Access to all platforms: Web, Chrome, Firefox, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows

For many individual users, the free plan is sufficient for daily use. And if you need more, the upgrade is simple and affordable.

Pricing in BRL with Local Payment

Plan	Price	What's included
Free	R$ 0	50 items, 2 vaults, 50MB, TOTP
Premium	R$ 9.90/month or R$ 99/year	Unlimited items, 1GB, breach monitoring, priority support
Family	R$ 19.90/month or R$ 199/year	6 users, 5GB shared

Payments are processed via Mercado Pago, accepting:

PIX (instant approval)
Credit card (domestic or international)
Boleto bancario

This completely eliminates the dependency on an international card and exchange rate fees.

Full Platform Coverage

OneckPass is available on:

Web: browser access on any device
Extensions: Chrome and Firefox with autofill
Mobile: native apps for iOS and Android
Desktop: native applications for macOS and Windows

This means your passwords are accessible anywhere, with automatic sync across all your devices.

Native Portuguese Support

OneckPass was developed with bilingual support (pt-BR and English) from the start. This means:

Interface fully translated to Brazilian Portuguese
Documentation and help in Portuguese
Customer support in Portuguese
Communications and updates in Portuguese

For anyone who has tried to resolve a technical issue in English with an international service's support team, you know how much this matters in practice.

Shared Features

Both OneckPass and 1Password offer:

Vaults to organize passwords by context (personal, work, etc.)
Folders for granular organization within vaults
Secure sharing of credentials
Emergency contacts for access in critical situations
Import/Export of data (easy migration)
Security report to identify weak or reused passwords
Breach monitoring to alert about compromised credentials
Integrated TOTP for two-factor authentication
Strong password generator

What 1Password Has That OneckPass Doesn't Yet

Transparency is important. There are features in 1Password that OneckPass does not yet offer:

Travel Mode: hide vaults when crossing borders
Passkeys: native support (on OneckPass roadmap)
Safari support: native extension
Linux support: desktop application
CLI: command-line interface
Broader history of public audits

If any of these features is essential for your use case, 1Password may be the better choice.

Migrating from 1Password to OneckPass

If you decide to try OneckPass, migration is simple:

Export your data from 1Password (Settings > Export)
Create your account on OneckPass (free)
Import your data using OneckPass's import tool
Verify that all items were imported correctly
Install the extensions and apps on the platforms you use

The process takes just a few minutes, and you can keep both services active during the transition to ensure everything works perfectly.

Who OneckPass Makes More Sense For

OneckPass is especially recommended if you:

Want to start for free and upgrade only when needed

Want simplicity: an intuitive interface with no learning curve
Need a desktop app for macOS or Windows
Want high-level security without paying first-world prices

Conclusion

1Password is a product of undeniable quality. But quality is not accessible to everyone, and in Brazil, dollar pricing and the absence of a free plan are real barriers.

OneckPass did not emerge to replace 1Password, but to be a legitimate alternative for those who need professional security at a fair price. With AES-256-GCM encryption, Argon2id, zero-knowledge architecture, and pricing starting at R$ 0, it is an option that deserves to be on your radar.

The best part? You can test it with no financial commitment at all.
