I do not know how to contact the app designer directly. I believe there has been a breach of security.

I have nearly 30 sites added to my logins, all with different automatically generated passwords in the name of something like Susan.h.appleseed@gmail.com. There is one additional site login under another name. I don't know who this is. In some cases the alien logins are for sites I am registered at. I am concerned my premium Evernote account has been compromised, because I received a message they I had used the maximum monthly storage of 10GB and more wouldn't be added for another six days ( when next month cycle starts). I could not possibly have used 10 GB. I probably fid not exceed 1 GB.

    Okay, I see a couple of other posts on here about this (and it's Wendy Appleseed apparently). One reply said it's a demo vault. I checked. There is a demo vault. There are only three logins, not 30. Since when do I have a demo vault anyway? I've never noticed it before, and I've had the pay version of this app for at least three years. I certainly don't need or want anything like that. I can't imagine that I would ever feel like demonstrating anything about the app I use to store all of my passwords and personal data to anyone. I would direct them to the App Store. At the very least I want to get rid of this whole feature. I still believe this has something to do with the issue on my Evernote account previously mentioned. And how are there ten times the number of logins shown in the demo feature?

    @jaihari: To be clear, no one can "hack" your 1Password data unless you unlock your vault and hand them your device. Without your Master Password, the data is encrypted and rather useless. And I can't imagine why anyone would want to put data into your vault. They'd probably rather take yours.

    1Password doesn't have access to Evernote.

    For some background, "Wendy Appleseed" is "Johnny Appleseed's" wife, and the "owner" of the demo vault you've added to 1Password, perhaps some time ago (in 1Password Settings > Vaults > Sync Additional Vault > Create Demo Vault). You're seeing this now because 1Password for iOS version 6 added the All Vaults view. So previously, you wouldn't have seen this vault unless you explicitly switched to it.

    The Demo vault includes 31 Login items.

    To remove it, simply go to 1Password Settings > Vaults > Demo > Remove Vault. I hope this helps! :)
