5 years agoThanks, @thatsnomoon. Really appreciate your perspective here! We'll incorporate this feedback into our internal discussions as development continues.
Oh, one quick thing:
and -perhaps more importantly- the ability to have a local copy of the database because I'm quirky and like redundancy.
Absolutely! I get this completely. When it comes to something like a password manager - which necessarily involves putting a lot of valuable (and possibly irreplaceable, should it be lost) information in one place, redundancy is really important.
As it stands, the way 1Password deals with this is to keep a copy in our cloud servers, as well as a copy of your database on every device where you are currently signed into the 1Password app. So for example, if you have a 1Password subscription, and have installed the app and signed in on a desktop, laptop computer, and an iPhone, then you have four copies of your database: one we maintain*, and one on each device. Just in case that's helpful to know! 😃
*(There are actually redundancies built into this, too)
I wouldn't want to use a service where there was only one copy of my data, and that copy was in the cloud and not on my device. Fortunately, that's not what we're doing. 👍
