@hrrhrrhrr You should avoid this as then your security is no stronger than your browser security. Most browsers save your passwords unencrypted on your own device and 1Password saves your secret key unencrypted on your device. So someone gaining access to your device would be able to access your 1Password database, secret key and master password.

Indeed, your Master Password should never be stored anywhere except in your mind and on your printed Emergency Kit .
Your Master Password is the only password you need to memorize, which is why we're called 1Password (one-password) ;)
If you're having a hard time remembering or typing it, consider changing it to a strong memorable password: https://1password.com/password-generator/?type=memorable0
