1Password 8 Printing

Hi @titanic1912,

If you're worried about losing access to your data, I'd strongly recommend printing your Emergency Kit instead. It will have your email address and Secret Key already filled in, and there's space for you to write your account password.

Also, it has some advantages over a printed copy of all your passwords:

• If you change one password, you won't have to reprint a whole page to account for that change, or handwrite the change on the paper.
• You wouldn't be able to use any two-factor authentication codes from the paper copy.
• Using the Emergency Kit would give you back access to your actual live account, with your data still in place. Otherwise, you would have to start over with an empty account and manually enter all of your data again.
• If someone used your printed passwords without your knowledge, you would have no idea. If someone successfully stole your Emergency Kit and signed in, you'd receive an email alerting you to that, allowing you to change your account password to keep them out.

If you're worried about what would happen if 1Password.com disappeared, that's understandable. We securely store user data in multiple redundant locations to keep it safe. And even if for some reason 1Password.com wasn't reachable, your data would still be on your devices, just like if you went offline temporarily.

We offer a $1 million USD bounty to anyone who can successfully breach 1Password's security and no one has managed it yet! We're also regularly independently audited for our security: Security audits of 1Password.

While printing isn't available in 1Password 8, you can export your data from it to either 1PUX (1Password Unencrypted Export) or CSV format: How to export data from 1Password. You could then put that exported data somewhere safe if you want to, but we would typically advise against this in nearly all cases.

I hope that helps!
