Thank you for the reply. Am I correct in understanding that in your hypothetical scenario the following conditions are true?

  1. Your Mac has completely stopped working or is lost.
  2. The Internet is completely down.
  3. You don't have 1Password installed on any of your other devices (such as your mobile phone).

Is that correct? If so then you would be able to restore your 1Password data from a full disk backup of your Mac like a Time Machine backup. The full disk backup would restore both the 1Password app in your Applications folder and it would also restore 1Password 8's local database located here: ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/Library/Application Support/1Password/Data

You would then be able to open and unlock 1Password 8 and see your data even without an internet connection. Please let me know if this answers your question. 🙂
