That's how you make these things dumb. The more guardrails on them, the dumber they get. You can feel it when you're using them. Gimme the unlocked version. I'm a responsible adult.

Users: The UI/UX of 1Password 7 is pretty good. We're happy. 1Password: Yeah, but we're bored. So, we'll release an abomination as 1Password 8 and then spend years trying to figure out why people hate it.

IANAL but I work alongside them. Here's an argument I've heard. You can read the data to train a thing. So long as that thing doesn't literally copy the data into itself then the training hasn't violated copyright. When
