My company, a small healthcare consulting firm, requires we all record all our passwords in a program called 1Password. I’ve never worked for someplace that requires this until now. Is this common? Pros/cons? There’s no written policy, just a verbal directive.

Looking for advice about workplace safety:
I currently work in a dangerous industrial job. I really like the work, however, if I do not know how to do something safely, of course, I ask.
However, sometimes, when I ask a question, some bosses (but not all) take it…

I've worked a few orgs that require that all business passwords are stored in a password keeper (be that 1Password or LastPass or similiar).
I don't see a reason to not use the tool that I've been asked to use* (for the software that the company is paying for), but perhaps I'm missing something.
I wouldn't store any personal passwords (of course) or passwords for software that I use for work that I pay for.
*There are lots of reasons why cloud-based password keepers are not the panacea they claim to be, but if a company that I work for wants me to use that tool, I'm going to use it.

I love 1Password! it is so much more helpful than keeping everything in a google sheet or excel. It takes a little bit of time to sign up but once you do it, its so worth it!
