4 years agoHey @fieten ,
I'd like to point out that even in the apocalyptic event of a breach in our servers, the data in them is completely encrypted with your master password and secret key, making it uncrackable and unreadable even to the most formidable hackers / malicious organizations. They'd simply get a bunch of encrypted unreadable data and other than your email they won't get much further since our encryption is beyond strong, and because we can't lose what we don't have (we don't have your password or secret key!).
Can you give me a hint how long I will be able to use the local vault? A 2 years old add-on version does not create much trust in me.
You can keep using 1Password 7 for as long as you'd like and keep your local vaults, as well as the classic extension. They work well and will continue to work well for the foreseeable future. I believe it will take at least 2-3 newer operating systems before something breaks and you will be forced to make a decision to migrate your data or move to another solution, so there's plenty of time.
However, I do hope you'll give our cloud service a try and see how easy and seamless it makes everything, improving your 1Password experience across all platforms and devices in a heartbeat, while keeping your data safe and secure :)
