    Hello @Maldroid,

    Thanks for your question. To preface your question, 1Password encrypts your data which can only be decrypted with the combination of your Secret Key and account password.

    In short, 1Password cannot provide complete protection against a compromised operating system. You should ensure you've taken appropriate steps to protected your device and do not recommend accessing your 1Password data on a device you do not trust.

    I wanted to direct you to another forum thread where this subject was discussed in great detail. Take a look at that thread when have a moment:

    Have a great day!
