1 Touch Lock Desktop/1 Touch Lock File or Folder?
Just started using the software; love it. However, it seems to me such software would intuitively include 1 touch locking of the desktop (so it's immediate and only unlockable via PW) and 1 touch lock file/folder (ie right click folder 'lock with 1Password')
I imagine people would pay handsomely and quickly?

Hi @tony_smith23,
Are you asking if 1Password could support locking your PC and to encrypt local files/folders on your drive?

Hi @tony_smith23,
The locking of the desktop might not be technically feasible because that would be overriding the OS and that's not something we're interested in doing.
We don't have any plans to do a local file/folder encryption product but we do have support for Secure Storage within 1Password Families and Teams that's coming in the next major version of 1Password for Windows. You can upload files into 1Password and remove it from your drive, we'll encrypt it and host it for you via 1Password.com and any other 1Password apps.

my other Q was simple; if someone logs in to my reddit acct for example from another country, will it stop them? even if they know my reddit PW?

Hi @tony_smith23,
You can edit your posts if you want. If you hover over your message, there's a gear icon that'll show up on top right of the message to let you edit.

Depending on your needs and Windows version, Windows has built-in support for encrypting folders. Be sure to back up your encryption keys.
For secure drives, you can check out TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt for this. It's a free open source solution that'll work on multiple platforms.

No, 1Password does not have control over what Reddit does on their servers, only Reddit can handle its security for you. 1Password protect your data on the local device and make it easy for you to store all of your Login information in one encrypted database. It also helps you generate randomized passwords for each site and remember it for you, so you don't reuse the same password on another site, which protects you as well. If you reuse your Reddit's password on another site and that site got breached, someone could use it on Reddit.
