4 years agoHi @mdaize:
We'd recommend using your account password for any accounts you may have. The main reason password reuse is usually bad is every service you give a password to provides another opportunity for it to be exposed. The other is that the potential negative outcome is multiplied by each account you use the same password with if that password is exposed. 1Password account passwords aren't given to us, in fact they never leave your local devices, thanks to the power of Secure Remote Protocol. As such using the same account password for multiple 1Password accounts doesn't come with the same risk as using the same password for two different services that do store the password. In the case of 1Password, your password is no more likely to be exposed because you've used it with multiple 1Password accounts. Additionally, our use of the Secret Key means that while two accounts may share the same account password, their cryptographic key material will be entirely different, as each account has a unique Secret Key.
With all that said though, version 2.3.3 of 1Password in the browser now offers the ability to trigger an unlock of a locked 1Password account right from the account menu:
Let me know how you get on with that!
