![]() ![]() The short answer to “Have you considered X as an alternative sync solution” is “Yes” for every value of X that people have asked about. We are investigating other services, such as Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, and whether they can be fantastic sync solutions 1Password customers deserve. Syncing is very complex and consumes a lot of resources to develop and support, but we do plan to expand further. The cloud service we are using (CloudSafe) is so security conscious that they can't even recover passwords for their users. My "checkbook" app supports WebDAV and we use a cloud service of our choosing to sync that app to my wife's and my own iPhone. I would like to suggest adopting support for WebDAV. And "settling" for local wi-fi sync is a lousy alternative if you don't need or want to go that extreme with your privacy. It also isn't even working for me at the moment, which forced me to switch back to using DropBox for the interim. For example, iCloud is Mac-only and "officially" limited to the version sold on the App Store. The alternatives for syncing 1Password are pretty slim though and not particularly convenient. I'm very disturbed by the fact they even appointed this woman and would prefer to exercise my right to protest it by canceling my service with them entirely. The excuse "well they can't read it anyway" doesn't cut it. Unfortunately, I don't find the official response satisfactory. I share the sentiments of the other posters here. Please let us know if you have any other questions. We've also written a blog post about the implications of the NSA, PRISM, and such: On the NSA, PRISM, and what it means for your 1Password data But settling on one or two additional sync services and bringing them to 1Password for iOS and Android would take much more time. This also appears to be holding up well in the 1Password 4 for Windows beta. If you are syncing exclusively between Macs, then you can use Folder Sync with pretty much any sync service you want. ![]() With all that said, we are aware of the demand for people to be able to synchronize their 1Password data using other sync services. If you are cloud averse, you can use local wi-fi sync. We did exactly that: 1Password is Ready for John the Ripperīut the choice is yours to make. We can't think of many better ways to show just how strongly 1Password protects your data than by pitting it against the pre-eminent password cracking tool John the Ripper. If you're not sure about the strength of your master password, please do take a look at our recent blog post on this: Toward Better Master Passwords ![]() So, as long as you use a secure master password that you don't use elsewhere, your 1Password data is incredibly safe even when stored on a service like Dropbox. As such, we use AES encryption with PBKDF2 key strengthening to protect your sensitive 1Password data as well as many other mechanisms to stop an attacker from ever accessing your information and we detail this here: Security of storing 1Password data in the cloud From the moment we designed our data format we ensured that it was able to withstand an attack should your data fall into the wrong hands, either as a result of a Dropbox breach or if someone physically stole your computer. 1Password does not rely on Dropbox (or any sync provider) to secure your 1Password data. ![]()
