5 years agoWith no local vault in 1PW8, what's the disaster recovery plan?
My primary vault is synced via Dropbox, and I semi-regularly update an offsite physical hard drive with a copy of the vault. The only password I know is the One Password for that vault.
I can lose...

5 years agoHi @craffert0,
If you do not want to send your friend a paper copy of your emergency kit you could give them a digital copy on a flash drive or hard drive. Additionally you do not need to write your password on to it, the Secret Key is only part of what protects your data so with that alone your data is not accessible. There's more info here: https://support.1password.com/secret-key-security/
The great benefit of being able to get access to your 1Password account is that you don't lose any of the data that you created after your last backup.
