1Password TeamHello @pwm2themax,
Sorry for the delay in response. I'll include our article here which discusses these details and more, About your Secret Key.
With regard to your question about the location of the vault, for Windows, Windows: The location depends on how 1Password was installed:
* 1Password installer (.exe): %LOCALAPPDATA%\1Password\App
* MSI installer: %ProgramFiles%\1Password\App
For iOS, 1Password’s data resides within the storage iOS assigns to the app. If you delete the app iOS deletes all data related to 1Password including the local copies of the vault. This is so users don’t have to worry about data sticking around on the device for an app they no longer use. Going to iOS Settings > General > iPhone Storage > 1Password, you can see all the data related to 1Password on the device.
I hope this information helps, but please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
