Best password manager deal: 50% off 1Password

50% OFF: Mashable readers can save 50% on the first year of 1Password ahead of the holidays. This discount applies to both the Individual and Families plans.

If you're looking to boost your cybersecurity game in the new year, a password manager is a great place to start. There are quite a few services that we like, including 1Password, which we consider the best password manager for families. Right now, Mashable readers can even enjoy 50% off 1Password plans for the first year.

This 50% off deal, which is automatically applied at the checkout, covers both the Individual and Families plans. This brings the former's price down to just $1.99 per month (which needs to be paid as an annual subscription of $23.88), and the latter down to $2.99 per month (paid as an annual subscription of $35.88). This limited-time offer only lasts until Dec. 31, so now's the time to sign up and set yourself up with extra online security in the new year.

When signing up for the Individual plan, you'll be able to generate passwords securely, autosave and autofill credentials, share items securely, get alerts for weak or compromised credentials, and be able to use it on all of your devices. The Families plan includes all of that plus the ability to invite up to five family members, share unlimited vaults, and manage access through admin controls.

In our roundup of the best password managers, we chose 1Password as a top pick for families. Through this plan, "you can safely share passwords, credit cards, notes, and more, while also managing what individual family members can see and do (meaning you can control who gets access to what passwords, which is ideal for parents). Plus, you can help any family member in your plan easily recover their accounts if they accidentally get locked out."

If either of these plans sound like a good fit for you, now is an excellent time to sign up for a 1Password plan and save 50% off your first year.
