Take a look at SQRL. Can you build in support when the protocol is finalized in the next few months?

    @guitarman21: I've been following SQRL with some interest myself. I really like its elegance, simplicity, and security. But most of all, in this age of security breaches, I appreciate that there are no shared secrets that can be stolen. Similarly, an SQRL identity is unique and serves as your private key to authenticate — but it's completely anonymous, and with the current tracking epidemic, that's also incredibly valuable.

    That said, it isn't clear that it will be widely adopted, so we'll have to wait and see if this would be something that could benefit the majority of 1Password users. Technologically it sounds like a great fit, but until popular websites support it, it isn't clear that it would be useful, and thus worth implementing. However, much like TOTP, if a major player (such as Google, as they did with their authenticator) adopted it as a login option, it would almost certainly be useful to a large number of 1Password users.

    I'd been meaning to bring this up myself, so I appreciate the nudge. I'll bring this up with the rest of the team so we can look into it further. Cheers! :)
