Is 1Password more or less secure than Keychain? If my 1Password is unlocked can any application get passwords out of it?

- sitharus 14y agoThat's an interesting question. 1Password isn't as integrated as the Keychain, but in both cases you have to manually approve access. 1Password is more portable though - Keychain is only useful in MacOS X.
- sil3ntmac 14y agoKeychain uses AES256 so it's about as reasonably secure of a single-password solution as you can get (given you use it correctly). I would assume 1Password is equivalently secure.
- tlrobinson 14y agoI'm less worried about the crypto algorithms used than what's available decrypted and when.
- klodolph 14y agoThe choice of encryption algorithm only lets us point out which systems are broken, not which ones are secure. A secure system could never use ROT13, but a broken system could definitely use AES256.
