On one hand I would feel slightly better if I could easily export my 1password data and stick it in an S3 bucket or something. I would even pay a premium for that. But on the other hand I’ve had a great experience with 1password and I’m about as comfortable with them having my data as I am with Google having my data. Maybe even more so since I know they don’t read my data whereas Google does. An interesting discussion would be how 1password handles backups, backup verification, and recovery. I’ve seen Google mess up Gmail but everything always comes back, and I think it’s because their backup solution is exactly the insanely wicked setup you would expect from Google. Compare that to Hotmail or Yahoo Mail, both of which butchered my mailboxes multiple times back when I used those, or the infamous Microsoft Sidekick incident. I wonder where 1password falls between the two extremes.
