## What it is
1Password for Open Source is a program that grants eligible open source projects a free 1Password Teams account for securely storing and sharing credentials, API tokens, SSH keys, and other secrets. Applications are submitted via GitHub issues in this repository, which also records accepted projects.

## Use cases
- get a free password manager for my open source project
- securely share API tokens and secrets with my OSS team
- manage SSH keys and sign git commits for free
- apply for 1Password open source sponsorship
- store database credentials for a community project

## When to choose
- you maintain an active open source project needing team credential management
- you want secrets management integrated into development workflows at no cost
- your OSS team needs cross-platform password sharing

## When to avoid
- you need a self-hosted secrets solution
- your project is not open source or does not meet eligibility requirements
- you need software from this repo itself - it is a program page, not a tool

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: secrets-management, security, auth
- domain: security, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: windows, browser, cli
- tags: password-manager, open-source-program, free-for-oss, credential-management, ssh-keys, secrets-sharing, sponsorship-program, macos, linux, ios, android
