I don't recommend storing your 1Password account password in iCloud Keychain. The account password is the "one password" that you should memorize while 1Password takes care of remembering all of your other passwords. Storing your account password in iCloud Keychain isn't advised for a variety of reasons including:
- It increases the risk of someone else discovering your account password.
- If you rely on iCloud Keychain to fill your account password instead of periodically typing it in then you might forget the account password and be locked out of 1Password if something happens to your iCloud Keychain.
If you're looking to create an account password that is easier to type in and remember then we have a guide here: How to choose a good 1Password account password
Let me know if this helps. 😊
