1Password Chrome keeps offering to save... on 1Password.ca
Hello sylvank! 👋
Thanks for the question! It's absolutely safe to store your account password (and Secret Key) in your Private vault in 1Password. No one can access your 1Password items without both your account password and Secret Key so they would need to know your account password/Secret Key to get to your account password/Secret Key.
A good analogy here is to think of a physical safe: you can store a copy of the key to the physical safe inside of the safe and someone would need to already have a key in order to open the safe and get the copy of the key.
Was there a particular reason why you wanted to avoid saving your account password in 1Password? Using the 1Password - Password Manager > Hide on this page option will prevent 1Password from saving or filling on a page until the next time that you restart your browser. There isn't a permanent hide option.
