If I stop using 1Password (uninstall), what happens to all the accounts and passwords it created?

I am considering using 1Password. But I want to know how to stop using 1Password, should I need or want to.
What happens to the access to all my accounts which 1Password established passwords for?
Is each account instantly inaccessible and I have to ask to reset password for each, and start over?
Thank you.

    Hi @jmgrunzweig

    If you were to find yourself in such a situation I would recommend exporting your data so that it can be used with a different password manager:

    Does that help? Please let me know.

    HI Ben,

    Yes, that answers my question. It's important to have an exit plan for any app before signing up, and that's what I wanted to know.
    Thank you for taking time to reply.

    @jmgrunzweig Once you start using 1PW, you will not want to stop! you'll instead find your self being accused of working for them as you try to convert all of your family and friends too!
