I purchased 1password in Jan, and in reading it mentioned about an emergency kit. I don't believe I was every asked to fill one out. What do I do now?

1Password Version: 6.2.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.11.3
Sync Type: iCloud

    Hi @Moddie,

    I’m sorry for the confusion! Emergency Kits are used for the new 1Password accounts for 1Password Families and 1Password for Teams. If you purchased 1Password in January, you’re likely using 1Password as a stand-alone app (since we only just introduced 1Password accounts as an option.)

    With the standalone apps (which allow you to sync your data yourself instead of relying on our servers), you need only to remember your Master Password to unlock 1Password. The Emergency Kit for 1Password accounts stores other important information like your account domain and your Account Key, in addition to your Master Password.

    You are still welcome to write up your Master Password and store it in a secure place (like a locked drawer or a safety deposit box), but you won’t need the other information that would be provided in the Emergency Kit.

    I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, we’re here for you! :)
