If you stop paying them, you stop being able to update your passwords. Also if you can't connect to their servers, you can't synchronise your passwords between devices. Also non-US companies will have a concern about storing sensitive material on US-based services given the powers the US is giving itself regarding intercepting communications or seizing data centres.
- tpetry 5y agoYou are not storing passwords in plaintext on their servers. They are very open and document on how it works. Basically you give them fully encrypted information they can‘t use for anything
- manicdee 5y ago"Fully encrypted" doesn't matter if an attacker finds a vulnerability in 1Passwords encryption, or simply gets hold of the cipher text and has time and money on their side. This is pretty fundamental security practise: don't give people stuff they don't need to have, and that means you face less risk of that stuff being lost or misused.
