Hi, I have 1password on my PC at home synced over Dropbox and the android app on my phone. I understand that 1PasswordAnywhere is no longer supported (I don't have the html film in my folder...). Is there a way to get a password from my vault on another computer ? I can't imagine that looking up the password on my phone and copying it in the public computer browser is the solution...

Thanks in advance for your help


1Password Version: 4.6.0.598
Extension Version: 4.5.3.90
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: Dropbox

    Hi @speedrun,

    We strongly recommend to never use 1Password on a public computer, there is no sure way to confirm the system has not been compromised and the method you take to log into 1Password would be logged. Both 1PasswordAnywhere and our upcoming 1Password for Teams would not be recommended on public computers, we can't protect you on these systems.

    If you copy the password manually, then you are risking only the one you're copying the password for, instead of your entire 1Password database.
