This is a big vulnerability! ... With the basic phone passcode they can see all 1Password passwords, as they show up under iOS settings>Passwords! ... This defeats the vault password. If anyone knows how to prevent this, please let us know.

I need to issue a correction. # This is no longer a vulnerability, or never was. I deleted all passwords from iOS settings > passwords and they are gone and don't reappear. Staff confirmed that this should never happen as 1pw doesn't write to iOS Settings > passwords.

So even if a thief has my passcode, he still has to break into 1password app, in order to access my passwords.

Thanks for the assistance.
