I have just viewed a video on YouTube with some very worrying information. Can someone at 1Password please tell me if this is a genuine concern and if so should I stop using the browser extension (actually I've already uninstalled it just to be safe) and more importantly, what is 1Password doing about this?

This is very disturbing news especially when you use every aspect of 1Password (like me) to store your entire life within it!

    Hello @TOWS! 👋

    My colleague Grey posted their thoughts about the situation here: https://1password.community/discussion/comment/684843/#Comment_684843

    If you have any questions after giving that a read then please post in the other thread. To prevent having the same conversation in two different places at once I'm closing this thread. 🙂
