Why was my Emergency Kit sent to my email?

garden567

Hi, I am in the process of signing up for 1Password because of good online reviews. However, I had to pause because I was a bit shocked that my emergency kit with the secret key sent was to my email. I always believed, and still do, that email is not safe. Is this now going to be the weak link in an otherwise stellar product?
I need to understand this before I continue to sign up. Thank you.

We do not send the Emergency Kit via email it is only available for download within your account on 1Password.com.

🚒 Emergency Kit

1Password asks you to save your Emergency Kit when you create an account. Check your Downloads folder to see if you already have yours. You can get another copy of your Emergency Kit on 1Password.com:

1. Sign in to your account on 1Password.com.
2. Click your name in the top right and choose My Profile.
3. Click Save Emergency Kit and follow the onscreen instructions to save the PDF.

Thank you!
After logging out of 1Password I can see that the email just contained a link to the emergency kit that I can only access when I log back in. Pew.
