Can I get a two step master password? [only you control your data, so no one can authenticate you]
I love this program but the weakest link is the master password which if hacked could open up all the others -can I get a two step master password which would be more secure?

@docmcl: No. Use a long, strong, unique Master Password, which is then further strengthened with PBKDF2.
It isn't possible to add a second factor of authentication...as 1Password doesn't authenticate you because it can't: you control your data, and as such there is no one to serve as a gatekeeper to it in oder to authenticate you — once, twice, or ever. Instead, your data is encrypted using your Master Password, rather than being guarded by some entity — natural, supernatural, or otherwise:
Authentication vs. Encryption
It may be that we expand the 1Password 'line' in the future to include a 'service'. If we ever do something like that, we can certainly look into different authentication options. Thanks for letting us know you'd be interested in something like that. But for the time being, no one — including AgileBits — can authenticate you because they don't know anything about you. I hope this helps! :)
