    I hope they don’t have your master password either. The decryption key sounds like just a longer password or salt with extra steps. What if the generation algo is cracked?

    Also, you can go multi-factor with every password manager I know.

      They don’t have your password in any form. The random key is generated with a CSPRNG, we don’t know how to crack those. They aren’t hiding behind secrets: it’s all documented right here https://1passwordstatic.com/files/security/1password-white-paper.pdf

      1Password is quite good.

        Not good enough clearly.

          You clearly don’t understand what happened, nor what it would take to get into a users password store.

          Not as clearly as you seem to think. You’ll struggle to find qualified people with criticism of their response.
