1Password, the Toronto-based maker of the identically named password manager, is adding a security analysis and advice tool called Insights from 1Password to its business-oriented product.

Clicking on the "Insights" option presents a dashboard for checking on data breaches, password health, and team usage of 1Password throughout an organization.

"We designed Insights from 1Password to give IT and security admins broader visibility into potential security risks so businesses improve their understanding of the threats posed by employee behavior, and have clear steps to mitigate those issues," said Jeff Shiner, CEO of 1Password, in a statement.

1Password has positioned its tool as a defense against "Shadow IT" - IT systems used without administrative approval or in contravention of policies - and weak passwords.

Insights was created to give IT admins a way to address the "Can't be bothered about security" attitude that shows up in the 1Password survey.

The team usage section tells admins which employees have not logged into 1Password or a Private Vault lately - which conceivably could be a sign of people using unapproved IT services instead. Password managers are widely recommended by security professionals to counterbalance the generally poor password practices most people have, not to mention the difficulty of managing unique passwords for every internet service login - you're not reusing passwords, are you?
