Why does not Agile Bits/1password take advantage of TPM 2.0 Technology (Trusted Platform Technology) to store the cripto keys?

Hi @eafernandes,
We don't store the encryption keys on the device itself because then you won't be able to use 1Password on other computers without the keys to decrypt it. In addition, your encryption keys are encrypted with your master password, which is decrypted only when you unlock 1Password and zero'ed out as soon as possible.
We store it in your data file, so you can sync to other devices (especially ones without TPM) and decrypt your data.

So TPM technology will never be used in the current 1passowrd's architecture design ?

Hi @eafernandes,
We never say never. We do plan to take advantages of TPM in a way like for quick unlock and other security settings.
As of right now, it is not used.
