Do many 1Password customers use only iPads and iPhones?

Thank you for the reply. 🙂

My music library is large and includes 8-9,000 songs that I uploaded to my Mac and synced to my iPad. I would not want to lose that. However, my Mac is backed up to two external hard drives for safety. If the whole music library was on my iPad and it crashed, I could always buy a new Mac and use those two drives to restore my iTunes library. Tell me what you think.

This one might be outside of my wheelhouse as I've never had an iTunes library like this. I've been using streaming services like Spotify for many years. If you do have a Time Machine backup of your Mac then that should include your music library: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support (CA)

Hopefully someone else from the community can weigh in about this. Reaching out to Apple directly might be a good idea so that they can confirm how that would work.

Also, please give me your perspective on passkeys. Is this the future, and how would they be useful for 1Password? It seems to me that passkeys are not readily available yet except on a very limited few websites. Am I wrong? The concept sounds great, but it’s just not here yet.

Passkeys are a great solution for the challenges we see with passwords. Unlike passwords, you can’t create a weak passkey and passkeys can't be phished like traditional passwords because the underlying private key never leaves 1Password – this also makes them resistant to social engineering scams.

It's early days for passkeys but they're already working great on websites like Google and Amazon. If you're interested in reading more then check out our blog: Save and Sign In with Passkeys Using 1Password on the Web and iOS
