An Inevitable Weakness

When updating 1Password on an iPad, you will need your Dropbox username and password to complete the update. Of course, in the middle of an update, you can't get it.

    Hi, @NovaScotian.

    Reentering Dropbox login credentials isn't necessary for regular 1Password updates on iOS devices. However, in cases when they are required (e.g. during configuration with a new device) you don't want to be in a catch-22 situation of needing 1Password access for Dropbox access and vice versa.

    Here's a related topic:

    Do I •really• only need to remember one password?

    And @khad's reply (post #4) refers to Jeff Goldberg's detailed blog post:

    More than just one password: Lessons from an epic hack

    All informative, worthwhile reading. :)

    I hope that addresses questions or concerns you have about this. If there's anything else I can help with please let me know.
