Just a warning for people who don't know the parent is referring to the extension formerly called 1Password X (now just 1Password in the browser because AgileBits wants you to use that one) which puts ALL OF YOUR PASSWORDS into your browser's memory.
- Qub3d 5y agoThis is an interesting concern, and you've pasted this identical comment at least three times in this thread. Could you elaborate or link to somewhere that explains this in detail? This comment on its own isn't very helpful.
- CamJN 5y agoThis comment by me was wrong, sorry everyone. They’re NOT doing stupid crazy things.
- roustem 5y ago> They do not say that they do not decrypt your entire vault into browser memory, because they do. I am sorry but this is just wrong. I have close to 6,000 items in my 1Password across family and business accounts. Loading everything into memory all the time would be ridiculous.
- CamJN 5y agoI agree, but I was under the impression that the vaults were encrypted as a whole, but according to the security white paper that changed at some point. So you can decrypt individual passwords. So I’m happy and am in the process of correcting my comments. Sorry.
- roustem 5y agoThank you for following up, CamJN!
- roustem 5y agoWhy are you making stuff up, CamJN? The extension is using IndexedDB to store the passwords and other items. A lot of work went into making sure the extension uses as little memory as possible. Roustem Founder of 1Password
- CamJN 5y agoThis statement by me was incorrect and based on the belief that they still encrypted vaults as a whole, but they’ve moved on to encrypting individual passwords so they can be decrypted individually and my whole concern was unfounded. I can’t edit that comment anymore, probably took too long. But it is wrong.
