Hello BAF! 👋

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you've saved your account password and Secret Key for 1Password in the built-in password manager that comes with your iPhone. There's no need to save your 1Password account information there and I recommend memorizing your account password rather than saving it in another password manager.

You can remove the saved account password and Secret Key by following these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have a copy of your Emergency Kit stored somewhere safe and that you've memorized your account password.
  2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  3. Tap Passwords.
  4. Find the entry for your 1Password account, tap on it, then scroll down and tap Delete Password.

If I delete this entire entry, will I still be able to use 1Password on my iPhone with or without internet access?

As long as you've installed the 1Password app for your iPhone, your passwords and other items stored in 1Password will be available even without internet. The 1Password app stores your items locally.

I hope that helps!
