South Korean esports organization Gen.G Esports has announced a partnership with password manager 1Password. As part of the deal, both organizations will launch "Quest for the Lost Console", a series of seven web puzzles to educate online security fans.

Raj Sarkar, Chief Marketing Officer at 1Password: "We're committed to bringing human-centered security to everyone and delivering on our promise to make security as easy as possible - whether you're at work or playing your favorite game at home. Partnering with Gen. G Esports and the online puzzle series is a fun and interactive reminder of how using unique and complex passwords for your various accounts is a simple first step towards a safer online life."

Each puzzle will reportedly be built in a "room escape" style and will be tied to Gen.G Esports content creators including PeterPark, BeccaTilts, Stanz and NickiTaylor. Participating Gen.G Esports talent will also receive a physics puzzle in the mail to solve with fans live.

Julien Benichou, Senior Director of Partnership Strategy and Execution at Gen.G Esports: "It's easy to forget something as simple as making sure your passwords are up to date and secure. We hope that by partnering with 1Password to create "Quest For The Lost Console", we found an interesting and attractive way to keep passwords safe."

In addition, fans involved in the "Quest for the Lost Console" will automatically participate in the prize giveaway as each puzzle is solved. Some of the top prizes include two PS5 consoles, over seventy 1Password family games, over $1,200 in Amazon gift cards, and exclusive merchandise.
