Ben,
Really appreciate the quick reply and the reminder about some of the security attributes of 1PWD.
Sorry to dig in a bit but I should probably focus a bit more precisely on what alarmed me enough to join the forum yesterday and raise my concern yesterday. Having allowed the 1PWD extensions in Safari under iOS 15 / iPadOS 15, I now see that my iCloud/keychain passwords (located on each device under Apple’s “Settings / Passwords” now contain seven “1Password.com” records. One of these contains my 1PWD user name and 1PWD password, and another actually contains my Secret Key (though oddly shown as a user name field). I’m not an IT guy so this maybe still a comprehension issue on my part, but it definitely looks like all they keys to unlock my 1PWD account are right there in my iCloud passwords…and I did not knowingly put them there…I wouldn’t do that!
Can you help me understand this?
Thanks again!
