Case Study: OneMethod turns a vendor data breach into a strategic advantage with 1Password

How OneMethod turned a vendor data breach into a strategic advantage

OneMethod, a Toronto-based digital branding agency, found itself reacting to security headlines when their password management vendor suffered a breach. The incident exposed an existing problem: the agency had a reactive security posture and low adoption of their previous, confusing password manager across teams.

They trialed and switched to 1Password Business, whose simpler vault and user management, Secret Key dual-layer encryption, and cleaner UX made administration easier and drove roughly 80% team adoption. The change saved IT time, strengthened OneMethod’s security posture, became a client-facing proof point, and was supported by proactive collaboration with the 1Password team.
