Thanks for your message and interest in updating to 1Password 8!
Security is our number one priority at 1Password. With a 1Password account, the secret key and account password are the "keys" both required to unlock and decrypt your data in your 1Password database. This goes for the app as well. With the data stored locally, or on 1Password, a malicious user that has access to your database, can't decrypt it without both "keys", which are only known to you. Below I'd like to provide you with a few links that go into further detail about 1Password Security:
* Keep your secrets & passwords safe and secure
* About your Secret Key
I'd also like to point you to our White Paper if you are interested in a further look at 1Password Security.
If you'd like to take the next step in upgrading to 1Password 8, I'd urge you to get in touch with our support team who can assist with migrating your data over from 1Password 4. We can be reached at support+forum@1Password.com. Once you've sent your email, can you provide us with the support ID that will arrive in this format [ABC-12345-678]. This will help us to locate your email so the appropriate team can assist you further.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
