Problems with the Firefox extension

Hey @xyzzy01 ,

Your passwords are locally stored on each device you install 1Password on - it will work offline even if you don't have internet access (or if something happens to our servers for that matter).

Our service is here to replace the old sync options (Dropbox, iCloud, WLAN etc) which caused oh-so-many troubles to our customers over the years. Not only did we resolve all of these sync issues with our own home-made cloud service, but we actually made it a lot more secure than the other sync options as well by adding the Secret Key, which is an additional layer of encryption to your data on our servers, ensuring your data is completely unreadable to anyone but you.

I definitely understand where you're coming from as I had my own doubts and concerns initially, but once I understood the security and encryption of it all I knew it is the best way to go. If you're interested:

If you have any specific questions or concerns, we'll be happy to address them :)
