Reorder Fields v8
Hi Mark. That appears to have worked.
Glad I could help.
The database file is encrypted in the browser's local storage, and then decrypted in the same place when you unlock the extension.
Hi @ag_yaron thanks for your response, this helps clear up my question! So the data will be stored locally but within the sandbox environment, is the actual file that is encrypted and containing the info decrypted, or is the decrypted info just held in the local data store?
Hey @Nexxus ,
Thanks for taking the time to read our security documentation, which I assume https://1password.com/files/1Password-White-Paper.pdf was a part of, as well as http://https://support.1password.com/1password-browser-security/The extension and the data in it are running in a sandboxed environment provided by the browser's API, which means webpages and other extensions are not able to access its local data whether encrypted or decrypted.
However, if your computer is compromised and someone has access to your RAM and/or hard drive, they will be able to read the decrypted information.
Your Master Password is not stored anywhere on your computer so it will remain safe, but a decrypted app/extension are vulnerable to direct access of a compromised system.
