Is all data encrypted?

Hello!

I remember asking a while back regarding the agilekeychain and the opvault vault formats (I think that's what they were called). If I remember correctly, the agilekeychain vault format only encrypted the important data, while the opvault vault format encrypted all data. Does the current vault format encrypt all data as well or only the important data?

Thank you!

      Thank you for the link, 1P_Dave​!

      So anything we enter into 1Password itself is encrypted, expect for the quantity of certain things including the number of vaults, items, and files in our accounts. What exactly is considered a "file" in 1Password? Is that a document (such as a PDF or JPEG) we may put into 1Password?

      If I remember correctly with the agilekeychain (I think that's what it was called) format, information such as item titles and usernames were not encrypted. But when the opvault was introduced after the agilekeychain format, everything was encrypted.

      Thanks again!

        Thanks for the reply! A file is anything that you attach to an item, see here: Save important files in 1Password

        That's a blast from the past! The Agile Keychain format was used back in 2008 and was replaced by OPVault in December 2012 (a long time ago). The Agile Keychain kept some information (most notably Title) unencrypted while the current format encrypts all of an item's contents. Metadata (such as creation date, category, etc...) is not encrypted. 

        Let me know if you have any other questions.
