A situation that's "relatively implausible" to 1Password employees is a daily occurrence for some.
It's relatively implausible for any 1Password employees to be the target of an aggressive corrupt government when traveling across borders. For journalists in China, Saudia Arabia and other countries, it's an activity of daily living.
In the interest of fairness: that isn't what we said was implausible. What we said was implausible was that a feature that amounts to security theater would be helpful to you if you were in such a circumstance. In order for such a trick to work:
The attacker must have the capacity to compel you to unlock 1Password while at the same time not have the power to retaliate once they discover the deception. Or they must be incapable of discovering the deception.
Note that even if you can fool the attacker at the time that they compel you to unlock, they are very likely to detect the deception at some later time. They are then unlikely to say, "Oh, nice trick. Very clever of you. I guess we lost."
And please stop with this:
It was relatively implausible for any 1Password employee to use iOS Share Sheets functionality but it was something that myself and many others used daily for years.
We're not going to turn every unrelated thread on this forum into a debate about the share sheet.
