5 years agosorry to hijack this discussion thread, as I also got a question re secret key, I know if we use a new device to login we need both secret key and master password, which I think is a great idea and secure way of protecting my data.
However, if this situation arise let says I lost my phone in a foreign country hence I couldn't access to my 1Password account, nor my other cloud accounts as I need 1Password to unlock them and other devices that previously signed in to my 1Passwsord account are not with me, and the Emergency Kit doc that has my secret key is not with me either. For this situation I couldn't gain access to my 1Password account using new device in a foreign country as I don't remember my secret key and worst is all my online account passwords are generated and stored in my 1Password account, therefore I cant open my email account, cant access to any of my cloud accounts or social media accounts nor I can have access to my online banking, I literally cant do anything, as I rely on 1Password to unlock my online accounts. And I am in a foreign country that desperate needs help and cant return back home to retrieve my secret key. For this situation, how can 1Password support team do to assist me?
or in other way if I am very unlucky that all my devices that previously signed in to 1Password account got stolen and I even lost my Emergency Kit doc, therefore leave me without my secrete key. How can 1Password support team do to assist me?
Thanks.
