I really like this app, but always concerned
about changes of my information being hacked. So want to make sure my info is only stored
on my iPhone or devices I enter it into. Don't.
want copy stored anywhere other than my device

    No problem. Your data is totally under your control unless you choose to put it in the cloud.

    Mind you, very many of us use iCloud or Dropbox for convenient syncing of the data on the different devices we own, but there are some other sync options.

    @azonie you may also be interested in this knowledge base article:

    Is it safe to sync my data over the cloud?

    Even if you don't currently want to do that it will help you understand why the 1Password architecture is secure.

    So if I don't sync via cloud nothing is stored on server and is only in my device. Then if I sync via iCloud it's only on Apple server and still don't on 1Password sever??

    Yes, both of those are correct. AgileBits has no server on which any of your 1P data is stored. For me, that's a major plus in using 1Password.

    Edit: you'll probably also find this knowledge base article interesting—

    Why is 1Password trying to connect to some random website?

    Hey @azonie! It looks like some of your questions have been answered by danco and Stephen_C, but I just wanted to jump in here and confirm their answers.

    So if I don't sync via cloud nothing is stored on server and is only in my device.

    Yes, everything is stored on your device. It's kept safe by your Master Password and device's passcode, if you have one enabled.

    Then if I sync via iCloud it's only on Apple server and still don't on 1Password sever??

    Also correct. We don't store any of your 1Password data on our servers. If you choose to sync your data with a service like iCloud or Dropbox, your data will be stored on their servers, but not ours. You can learn about the security of syncing in the article that Stephen posted.

    Another read that you may find interesting is How does 1Password keep my data safe? It should help answer any security questions you may have. If there are any others, or questions about setting up sync, please let us know. We'd be happy to answer them. :)
