Hey Kyle! Been a long time paying user. 1Password has helped me help my family use better passwords. We all have local vaults, but I often recommend and help onboard companies I consult with to the hosted service. Thanks for building an awesome app!
- greenice 7y agoHow would you regain access to the passwords in the local vault if the phone breaks or gets stolen and prevent them from being lost? I chose not to use a local vault because I fear those scenarios more than the cloud sync via 1Password being compromised.
- AGKyle 7y agoYou can still make backups on all platforms. So it would be a matter of restoring a backup. Typically someone with local vaults also syncs (to either iCloud or Dropbox) so in theory as long as they still have access to that account they can sign in and access their 1Password data. I'd still suggest backups in addition to that, a sync file is constantly changing, and is not an actual backup. Hope that helps though! Kyle 1Password Security Team
