Secret key & gaining access
I am curious - if someone finds/steals your secret key (not the master password), can he/she get to your account?
Related question - if I forget my Master password but I do have access to my devices and I do have the secret key as well, will I be able to retrieve it or change it?
Thanks.

Hi @dudley!

No, they need your Master Password too :+1:

For your privacy and security, your Master Password is not stored anywhere, only you know it. This means that it is not possible to recover it unless you are a member of a Families or Business accounts. If you have an Individual account or a standalone license, you can try and recover your Master Password:
If you forgot your Master Password or you can’t unlock 1Password
If, on the other hand, you are part of a Families or Business account, you can ask another Admin to recover your account for you:
Recover accounts for family or team members
During recovery, you will be able to choose a new Master Password.
