This is a just-for-fun question, but what's the most unusual thing you have stored in a secure note (obviously use discretion so you aren't sharing anything sensitive)? I'll kick us off and admit I have the bathroom code for a local fast food restaurant stored in 1Password and get a chuckle every time I use it!Rewarding oneself

Unlocking speed increase when moving from M1 to M4 processor?
We're in the market for upgrading our Macs and were wondering if anyone has found a noticeable change in unlocking (or general app speed) when upgrading from an M1 to M4 processor? Single core speed increase is generally about ~ 80% based on GeekBench score, but was seeing if that seems "about right" in real life. Thanks!Introduction thread!
I am actually checking if there's any introduction posts (or even a existing introduction thread) here in the community forums, but since there's none I'll do it myself. To get started, I'll introduce myself first to break the ice. I'm Andrei Jiroh Halili, a college student and Autistic from the Philippines! You might see me at 1Password Developers public Slack workspace as a developer tools user and https://github.com/1password/for-open-source user for https://github.com/1Password/for-open-source/issues/1064 (disclosure: https://hackclub.com/fiscal-sponsorship), but I also occasionally write things at https://blog.andreijiroh.dev.Random but Memorable 15.5: How cyber warfare really works with Hayley Benedict

Congrats Dave, Sarah, Roustem and Team on 1Password's 20th Anniversary. You've come a Long Way from your early days! I remember it. As a long time 1Password user myself. I've asked before, years back. Could there be a Lifetime Membership for 1Password? There wasn't ever a Definite answer as I recall, but I thought I would try again this year being your 20th Anniversary. I may have seen something similar on Twitter before (lost the link), no answers from there from email. Thanks for the memories.1Password branded security keys
OptimaX 's question about MFA referenced FIDO/WebAuthN/U2F security keys as one of the two methods which currently work for 1Password and the guide references two well-known brands suggested something like this: While I don't expect 1Password to open a manufacturing facility capable of producing their own engineered product line, or know what white label options exist in the current market, I would purchase this. The product image was created by OpenAI's Sora based on my prompts to ChatGPT based on Yubico Security Key Series and current 1Password logo. I've included the obvious wrongness because every subsequent effort was worse, but not as bad as the efforts by Gemini, Claude and Grok. Imagine one of them with a USB-C connector and another as NFC only.
