Secret Key storage in iCloud keychain -- toggle?

I'd be happy to share more about my concerns. Just for context, I am a software developer and security consultant, so I understand the tradeoffs and options reasonably well. I understand the other layers of protection in place, and that this only skips one of them and only when I authenticate my Apple account.

For me, it's a question of me being the one to make the decision. I want to decide who I trust and how much. I admit, I trust Apple far more than Google or Microsoft or probably any other massive tech company. But I trust you folks at 1Password more. I chose 1Password back in I think 2013, and have never regretted the choice. I teach online security to my friends, family and in my podcast. I enthusiastically recommend 1Password. I choose 1Password, not Apple, to trust with my passwords. You deciding to extend that trust to Apple without warning me, asking my consent, and what's worst of all, without providing an option to decline that consent, I find disappointing.

You've continued to add options that users can choose to balance between convenience and security, like the ability to unlock your vault with your device. I'm so grateful that's an option, because I will never turn it on. I just want this to be an option too, like so many others you have.

To be clear, I am not demanding this. This is not remotely a deal breaker for me, especially since there's a relatively easy work around by disabling the Keychain syncing. But I see little downside to adding this option. Obviously I don't know the internal code of 1Password, but I know coding well enough in general to have some level of confidence in asserting that it would not be a huge work effort to add this option. Therefore, I once again humbly request you add the option to toggle this off.

Thanks for listening. The 1Password community forum is definitely one item on my (very long) list of reasons I love and promote 1Password frequently.
