You're getting down voted and unfortunately that's a bit disappointing. That said I am happy to discuss with you how Teams is setup so that you can fully understand how it works and realize that we (AgileBits) can provide zero access to your data to anyone, including yourself, without the proper credentials (Email, Account Key, and Master Password).

You would probably find our white paper on security and privacy very informative. If you'd like to give it a read you can find it here:

https://teams.1password.com/white-paper/1Password%20for%20Te...

If you have questions I'd be more than happy to make sure you get those answers. But this was a very important topic for us and that's why the white paper exists and I believe it should answer all of your concerns about security and privacy, if it does not then we will get those answered for you.

Edit: I changed wording to "credentials (Email, Account Key, and Master Password)" from generic "data" which was sort of redundant and not clear.

I'm actually a huge 1Password fan - my comment was joking but accurate to the point that no-one can guarantee data security in the current climate. How are we to know that any provider has not been coerced by their nation's security services into weakening their own security protocols - and then been slapped with an order forbidding them to discuss said changes (all within known current NSA practices).

None of this is directed at you guys, as I said, big fan. But at a climate that has left consumers concerned, cynical and distrustful of the safety of any of their data.

Remember my credit cards, alarm codes and personal data is within 1Password - the most precious of my data.

I have read the link and the other I have been sent and I will definitely continue using 1Password and I trust you guys as much as I anyone can be trusted at the moment. Certainly it's more safe than writing it down on a pieces of paper right now :-)

Of course one way to being even more transparent (but not necessarily more secure) is to open source your means of securing, transmitting and remote storage; not the whole product of course.

But with a highly funded secretive agency weakening protocols and strong arming companies, what are we to do :-)

Again great product!
