    @edinedmonton: I hope you don't mind, but I've moved your post to the Lounge category of the forums, since it doesn't pertain to a 1Password Account (or any particular platform).

    You ask a great question, and you're right to be concerned! However, there's no need to worry: your 1Password data is end-to-end encrypted, so 1Password simply doesn't depend on the sync service to protect your data. 1Password is secure by design, not by chance.

    For example, even if someone were to un-hash your Dropbox password and login to your account (you can prevent this from happening at all by changing your password), your vault is encrypted using your Master Password, so that would also be needed to decrypt and access your data.

    I hope this helps. But be sure to let me know if you have any other questions! :)
