Security concern with automatic password hint

It seems as though 1Password has the capability of creating automatic password hints. Is this true? I do not remember creating the hint it showed and yet the hint practically gives away the password. It is not written in a style of language I would normally use.

Where is this clear-text hint stored?

Thanks

    Hey @michaelbehan,

    You enter the hint when you setup your 1Password database for the first time. I believe you're required to enter one.

    If you'd like to change it, go to 1Password 4 > Preferences > Security and click Change Master Password. You can keep your old master password though, just enter it in all three fields (current, new, and verify), and only change the hint.

    Hope that helps! :)
