What information does iCloud backup

Not sure if this is a question for Apple or 1Password, but in iOS under "apps using iCloud" and "Choose data to backup" I have 1Password toggled off. If I turn this feature on, will the password vault and encryption key be backed up to iCloud or does this back up other types of app data? Since the password vault and key are already stored in the 1Password cloud, I wanted to avoid having them stored in both places.

Thanks :)

    Hi @chris000,

    If you have iCloud Keychain enabled 1Password will store your sign-in address, email address, and Secret Key encrypted in iCloud Keychain and flagged so that only the 1Password app can retrieve it. Outside of that iCloud has little / no bearing when using a 1Password membership. Turning the setting in question on may back up the app itself as well as the encrypted data cache, but as you say there is little if any point in doing that if you're using a membership.
