You buried the lede here:
> Well, in December 2012, AgileBits changed the format of their keychain from the Agile Keychain, to OPVault. So how is this new format? Well the first thing is that you cannot use 1PasswordAnywhere with this format any longer.
And:
> Let me summarise: Do not use the Agile Keychain format. It leaks your data. If you are using it, convert it to the OPVault format immediately.
- Velox 11y agoI'm not surprised I butchered it. I'm not a writer by any means. If you look at the few other things I've written, the writing there is just as terrible. Practice makes perfect though I guess.
- incanus77 11y agoI guess what I meant was that you are emphasizing that the old-style format is what is the problem here, and that it hasn't been the default for three years now, but the headline makes the scope sound much worse. So saying 1Password as a whole suffers from this flaw is pretty misleading. I agree it's an issue that you weren't warned about the need to migrate to the new format.
- Velox 11y agoNo, the problem is that they have a new format but the OLD one is the default. It's incredibly difficult to use OPVault as your keychain format if you aren't on Windows. Even if you are on Windows, you still need to change it every time.
