Why are you worried about their analytics platform if your happily using their product today, which requires the use of 1Password cloud? 1Password don’t need to an analytics platform to steal your passwords. They could just straight up modify their client to send back your decrypted passwords to them. Analytics doesn’t make a jot of difference to the difficulty of doing that.

I'm unhappily using their product today, having still refused to update to v8. I still have local vaults. The point is, that they are wanting to intentionally collect data about me now. It's quite easy to see how that could be data that I don't want collected. Your question is like asking why it bothers me that all my neighbors have Ring doorbells now recording my walks, when they could just look out their window and spy on my anyway. It's a step along the slippery slope that makes the likelihood of privacy invasion much higher as time goes on. Ignore the CIA if you want, but I'm pretty sure they'll have an easier time collecting data they might want now that it exists. But leaving that to the side, collecting data accidentally is a known problem that keeps cropping up.

  > I'm unhappily using their product today, having still refused to update to v8. I still have local vaults. Then this change doesn’t impact you. There’s no indication 1Password have any interest in back-porting analytics to older versions of 1Password. > Your question is like asking why it bothers me that all my neighbors have Ring doorbells now recording my walks… No, my question is quite simple. Either you trust the entire 1Password client or you don’t. Telemetry might change a persons stance on that trust, but holding up the boogy man CIA as reason for not liking telemetry is ridiculous. If the CIA could and wanted to force 1Password to hand over your encrypted data, then not having telemetry isn’t going to slow them down. If your argument is you don’t like telemetry, full stop. Then make that argument. Throwing in FUD about shady CIA activities does more to undermine your argument than strengthen it.
