About 1Password

1Password sells password and secrets management for individuals, families and businesses. Its affiliate program runs on CJ (Commission Junction): 1Password's own affiliate page tells applicants to create a Commission Junction account and apply to the 1Password program there. The payout has two parts. Every completed signup earns $2, and a paying customer adds 25% of their first payment — a full year's fee on annual billing, one month's fee on monthly billing — with a stated $2 minimum on that share. Nothing is paid on later renewals.

Attribution window. 1Password's affiliate page does not state a cookie or attribution window, and its CJ program terms are visible only inside CJ after you apply. Third-party figures we found disagree with each other, so no window is recorded here.

Self-referralNot publicly disclosed
  • 1Password's affiliate page publishes no rules on paid search, brand bidding, coupon sites, email or self-referral; its CJ program terms are shown only after you apply.
  • No payout threshold, payment schedule or payout method is stated on 1Password's page.

Requirements

Approval is required. 1Password's page says to create a Commission Junction account, apply to the 1Password program from it, and start sharing once approved. It publishes no acceptance criteria or review time; it describes a good fit as publishers or influencers whose audience follows technology, online security or productivity.

  • A Commission Junction (CJ) publisher account, from which you apply to the 1Password program
  • Approval by 1Password inside CJ before you begin promoting

Who this is best for

Good fit

  • Publishers whose readers sign up but may not buy straight away, since each completed signup earns $2 on its own
  • Sites that send annual-plan buyers, where the 25% share is taken from a full year's payment
  • Affiliates already working in CJ, who can apply to 1Password from the same account

Poor fit

  • Affiliates who want income beyond the first payment — renewals earn nothing
  • Anyone who needs a published cookie window before promoting; 1Password's page gives none

Pros and limitations

Pros

  • Every completed signup earns $2, on top of any share of a later first payment
  • On annual billing the 25% share is calculated on the whole year's payment
  • 1Password states a $2 minimum on the 25% share, so a small first payment still yields at least $2
  • Runs on CJ, so tracking and reporting sit in a CJ account alongside other CJ advertisers

Limitations

  • Monthly-plan customers yield 25% of one month's fee, not a year's
  • After a customer's first payment, 1Password pays nothing further on that account
  • No cookie window, payout threshold or payout schedule appears on 1Password's own page
  • Promotion can start only after 1Password approves you in CJ, and no criteria or timeline are given

How to join

  1. 1Create a Commission Junction (CJ) publisher account

How this estimate works

Commission rate and recurring months are prefilled from 1Password's published terms. Plan value, referrals and retention are placeholders: set them to match the audience you would actually send.

These are estimates, not guaranteed earnings for 1Password. They assume a constant referral rate and a flat monthly retention rate, and they exclude refunds, clawbacks, approval rates and payout thresholds. Real results vary widely.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the 1Password affiliate program pay?

$2 for each completed signup plus 25% of the customer's first payment, whether that payment covers a year or a month, with a $2 minimum on the percentage share. The commission does not recur on renewals.

Is the 1Password affiliate program on Impact or CJ?

CJ. 1Password's affiliate page tells applicants to create a Commission Junction account and apply to the 1Password program. Third-party listings placed it on Impact before this directory corrected the network on 12 Aug 2026.

What is the 1Password affiliate cookie duration?

1Password does not publish one. Its affiliate page is silent on attribution and the CJ program terms can only be read after applying, so this directory records the window as not published.
