You should obfuscate the QR code in the "data migration" Youtube video

I just watched this video https://support.1password.com/migrate-1password-account/#migrate-your-data-on-your-main-device and you put a lot of effort into hiding the Secret Key during the runtime. But at the end, the QR code is clearly visible and you can scan it with the app, which then shows the Secret Key.
I really hope that's not a key that is actually used by Heather ;-)

    @Manaburner: Okay, it's kind of awesome that you tried scanning it. Now I wish we'd put an Easter egg in there or something. We use test accounts for stuff like this so security isn't an issue...but I think that obfuscating the Secret Key in the videos would help send a clear message to users that this is something to be guarded jealously, even if it isn't important in this instance. We'll have to consider that. Thanks for brining it up!

    @brenty I'm a tester, if there's a button, I press it :) I thought so that it's only a test account but you never know ;)
