1PASSWORD* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When 1Password processes subscription payments, the billing system automatically truncates and formats the company name into a shortened descriptor that fits within the character limits imposed by payment networks like Visa and Mastercard. The asterisk in "1PASSWORD*" is a standard delimiter used by payment processors to separate the merchant name from additional transaction details, such as a subscription plan identifier or billing period, though it sometimes appears on its own. If you see this descriptor on your bank statement for $2.99 or a similar amount, it almost certainly reflects your active 1Password personal or family plan subscription being charged on its regular monthly cycle.

No, this is a legitimate charge from 1Password. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
