Two factor or not two factor

While it does answer my question, it almost defeats the purpose - after all, it is called 1Password, not 1Password+1More. I will most likely revert to carrying around a USB key on my keyring (in fact, I've already ordered one) with a backup of the 1Password file in case of emergencies.
In fairness to Agile, it is a single password as far as all your websites are concerned when you have 1PW running but, you're right, it is not really a single password for your more general digital life. Actually it is 1PW+6 more if you read what Jeff does. Adding 2-factor for dropbox would make that 1PW+7.
Despite this, 1PW is still currently the best way of addressing the most common cause of digital insecurity but remember that security is a process not a product. No doubt as you use the product more, you will think more about your processes and modify them accordingly.
The USB key seems like a good idea. However, don't let that be your only backup. I hope you never do but you might easily lose both your keys and phone simultaneously.0 -

Agreed. Actually, I have a notebook with 1Password on it, desktop at work with 1Password, Time Machine backups, an iPad, iPhone, USB stick, and online backup (but that one requires a password, so there's the same Catch-22). I hope that's enough!0 -
