Simple Safe Travel Checklist

1. Before You Leave

• Turn on full-disk encryption on (FileVault for Mac) and set a strong passcode
• Complete backup of both devices to encrypted storage at home

2. Turn Off Biometrics

• Disable Face ID / Touch ID
• Re-enable once you're through, if desired

3. Signal: Backup, Delete, Reinstall

• Back up chat history before you go (Settings > Backups)
• Delete the app before crossing a border
• Reinstall and restore from backup once you're on the other side

4. 1Password Travel Mode

• Go to: Password Manager for Teams, Businesses, and Families
• Turn on Travel Mode (top right > Manage Account > switch on Travel Mode) for every vault holding sensitive data
• Open and unlock 1Password on each device you're traveling with, while online, so the change takes effect
• After the trip: Manage Account > turn Travel Mode off to restore full vault access (again requires opening the app online)
