Where does 1Password store an Internet copy of my vault?
Hi,
I am a new 1Password user (a transplant from LastPass). I am curious but haven't found a definitive answer on the Interweb. Out of curiosity where does 1Password store a copy of my vault? There must be a copy somewhere but where is it? AWS? Google Cloudfiles? What things are disabled if my Internet connection goes down? I assume things like adding a new PC but are there other things that plain out won't be available without an Internet connection?
Thanks, you have a great product.

Hi @jimthepcguy
Thanks for the kind words. 🙂 The 1Password service is hosted by Amazon AWS, and is available in a few different regions. A basic overview is available here:
https://support.1password.com/regions/The in-depth technical details can be found here:
https://blog.1password.com/terraforming-1password/As to the question of which functions are unavailable offline... it may be easier to speak to which functions are available offline. While offline, you can:
- Unlock the 1Password desktop or mobile application on already set up devices
- View your data as it was when you (or we) went offline
- Make additions/edits to your data that will sync when you (/we) are online again
A non-exhaustive list of what is unavailable would be:
- The start.1passsword.com web app — you'd need one of our desktop or mobile apps to access your data offline
- Billing changes
- Adding/removing family/team members
- Creating new vaults
- Setting up new devices
- Syncing changes between devices
- Putting a family/team member though recovery, if they've lost their account password/Secret Key
We recently introduced a connectivity indicator into our desktop applications which can help identify and troubleshoot times of limited or no connectivity to the 1Password service.
I hope that helps!
