I understand. And this is pretty much what we are taken to task for in the article. The difficulty is that when you set thing up, we don't know what other platforms you will set up for. Since OPVault (still) doesn't work everywhere, we leave switching to it an advanced process. We've thought about adding a screen that asks "Will you by synching to devices using 1Password for Android or 1Password for Windows prior to version XX or 1Password for Mac prior to version YY?" and then using OPVault if their answer is "no". But a mere warning about what metadata is and isn't exposed, without something that people can easily do is just going to confuse most people more than help.

A big green "this is the best default" with a less prominent option "if you're more advanced and are sure you are using the latest versions of this, use this" seems like a reasonable compromise. There are definitely ways to present these options without getting super technical, I know that, like the security underlying these options, there are trade offs, but having the only option being me opening a terminal and running defaults, after searching in rage, this can't be the right trade off, it just can't. It seems like there's no communication around this at all, despite the fact that it's been three years since the change was implemented.
