Access to 1Password data if devices are stolen
If my IPhone and lap top are stolen, can I access my 1password account on my friend's computer? Or will I have to re-establish everything on my new IPhone and laptop?
1Password Version: 5.3
Extension Version: 4.3.1
OS Version: OSX10.10.3
Sync Type: iCloud

Hi @claudarms,
It looks like you accidentally posted the exact same question several times, so I've deleted the other duplicate posts to avoid confusion.
1Password never sends your password data to us, and by default, all your 1Password data is stored locally on your computer/device. So, if you don't have any backups of your 1Password data, and that data exists only on your iPhone and/or Mac, and both are stolen, you won't have any way to access your 1Password data.
However, if you have backups of your Mac or iPhone, you should be able to restore everything to a new Mac or iOS device. Or, if you had been using Dropbox or iCloud sync in 1Password before your Mac & iPhone were stolen, your data will still be in your Dropbox or iCloud account, and you can sync that to 1Password on a new Mac or iOS device.
Also, if you had been syncing your 1Password data via Dropbox, then you can use a feature we call 1PasswordAnywhere, which allows you to view your 1Password data by logging into your Dropbox account from a web browser. That would allow you to view your 1Password data on a friend's computer.
Hopefully that answers your question, but please let us know if you need anything else. We're always happy to help! :)
