log in to 1password with iCloud access??

Hi, Suppose that I have 1password on my iPhone, but it gets snatched from my hands and the thief has seen me punch in my iPhone passcode. They can now reset my Apple account, but can't access 1pass...

Hello @The_caveman! 👋

Thank you for the question. Unless you've decided to turn on device passcode unlock, 1Password will require either your account password or Face ID / Touch ID to unlock the app. Someone who has stolen you iPhone, and knows your device passcode, would not be able to unlock 1Password using your device passcode.

To add your 1Password account to a new device you'll need four pieces of information:

  1. Your sign-in address.
  2. The email address associated with your 1Password account.
  3. Your Secret Key.
  4. Your account password.

I recommend that you download and print your Emergency Kit, it contains your sign-in address, email address, and Secret Key. Store the Emergency Kit somewhere safe, like a personal safe, so that you have access to it when needed.

Let me know if you have any questions.

-Dave
