4 years agoGood points all. The emergency kit is certainly the best way for others to get to your stuff. But sometimes, not much, but sometimes, I need a hard copy for some purpose. I think many who do choose to use 1Password should be savvy enough to not keep unencrypted copies on their computer. Sure there will be oversights, but I don't think that often.
The vast majority of us are not in real danger of bad guys breaking in and snooping around on our individual computers to find logins and banking info. That's not very lucrative and too time consuming. Better to use phishing and other proven methods to gather info en masse. Now if you are an important person in government or industry with trade secrets or larger quantities of confidential info, then you should be smart enough to take the proper precautions with your computers. Not everybody does; they are irresponsible and that should be pointed out. I think it may be a fools errand for software vendors to attempt to mitigate things for irresponsible people.
I'd have tno objection to making it "difficult" to print, with warnings and guidance on treating hard copies and unencrypted versions. But I do know how to take proper precautions and since the availability of unencrypted export is already there, why not provide it in a format that we can actually use when printed.
