4 years ago@Yolanda - to be clear both for you and anyone else reading this, 1Password data can be hosted in either the US (.com), Canada (.ca) or Frankfurt (.eu), depending on which TLD a user signs up at. Data resides only in the region it was created in, so GDPR subjects can have entire-European-held data. And in all three regions, your 1Password data is always treated the same: encrypted and decrypted only on your local device, before anything is transmitted to our server, so that all we ever possess is ciphertext, and we have neither your encryption keys nor the secrets (your Password and Secret Key) with which to derive those keys. To my knowledge, AES256 is still the algorithm the NSA themselves continue to use, and the worldwide push to make law enforcement access to encrypted data easier suggests that none of these agencies have yet broken it.
That said, thanks for your support over the years, and stay safe -- we'll be here if you decide you'd like to return. :)
