Will I ever be able to retrieve my old passwords?

Say I don't like the app, or something like that. Do I have to keep a list of all the OLD passwords that originally had to enter into 1Password?

    The program you buy never expires, so you will always have access to your passwords, even if you decide not to upgrade to new versions. There is a chance that a future OS update could break a legacy version, I suppose, but AgileBits still supports versions 3 and 4, in addition to the current version 5.

    You can also export your data in CSV files or in 1Password's own .1pif format, which is in plain text too. Neither are secure of course. Finally, some users print out all their data and put the document in a safe deposit box for security.

    Does that answer your question? Or was there something I didn't understand?
