3 years agoI didn't mean 2 different passwords, and not necessarily 2 different keys, but having 2 different keys is likely fine (except for the first day, I have not needed to put in my secret key). The idea is to only store the OTP on devices which are highly secure.
For example, on macOS make sure that Gatekeeper is set to only allow applications from the "App store and identified developers".
Yeah, see that's my problem. I'm a software developer, and I need to run applications that require this be turned off. So while I doubt I will get malware on my system, it's naturally less secure than my phone, which has everything stored in secure sandboxes, and only allows approved applications.
Essentially the environment 1Password is running in is vastly different on the 2 devices, and having an option to only store OTPs on certain devices would acknowledge that reality.
