If better data had been available to us, we would've been able to make a more informed decision. We've decided that privacy-preserving telemetry is one of the ways worth exploring to improve that data for the next time. If it is s

Nobody was questioning how popular the Apple Watch is. The question was how many people were using it to access their 1Password data. The evidence that we had at the time suggested very few. Better data would've helped us make a better

1Password for iOS does not use Electron. It uses Apple's SwiftUI. Our iOS app is what contains the Apple Watch app. The point was if we'd had telemetry while prioritizing this work, we would've known it was something many peo

I'm sorry to hear that has been your experience with 1Password. I appreciate the comment. I've shared that feedback with our design team.

Happy to help. In addition, while we're in the early stages and this design is likely to change, it may help to visualize how we're thinking about this process: https://bucket.agilebits.com/ben/telemetry-conse

You're not going to have to hunt around in the settings to consent to telemetry, no, but we're also not going to collect without consent. We're in the early stages, so this is subject to change. Still, our design team shared

The designs for what the screen will look like have not been completed yet. I couldn't say exactly what the language will be. From what I've seen thus far it will be clear that there is a choice to be made, but the default selecti

It tells the extension which item you've selected to fill. It isn't possible to use the Open & Fill feature without it. If you navigate to the website in your web browser and then fill from 1Password's inline menu, instea

I love that idea. We'd have to be super careful with the de-identification of associated data (which we're doing anyway), but having automation behind figuring out filling failures could be a huge boon. I'll share the thought

As our CTO, Pedro, discussed in his blog post ( https://blog.1password.com/privacy-preserving-app-telemetry/ ), we have only rolled out telemetry to our employee base. We will be analyzing the results of this internal-on

One anecdote as to why it has become clear telemetry is needed: When prioritizing what we needed in order to launch 1Password 8 we did not prioritize an Apple Watch app. We rarely heard from customers about Apple Watch, and so the assumptio

Hi folks, Thank you for the comments on this important topic. 1Password's mission is to help people safeguard their most important information and to do that, we have always taken a human-centric approach to security. In order to deliv

We're definitely taking a close look at how folks will decide to participate (or not participate). As much as possible, we de-identify the data we’re gathering through this project. This data will help us prioritize our overall efforts

1Password will not sell telemetry data to third parties, nor will identifiable data be sent to third parties. Our business model is to sell 1Password to you, not to sell information about you to others. Any identifiable data will be stored

Thanks for the input. I've shared it with our Product team. We’re actively exploring the specifics of how this experience will operate for a range of use cases. We’re fully committed to ongoing transparency, and will provide clear guid

Great question! Limiting telemetry to those who opt into beta/pre-releases limits our data to those already most likely to write in with feedback. With this initiative we’re hoping to learn more from other audiences — particularly thos

Hi there! Not quite. An attacker would need either your account password AND an already authorized device, OR they would need both your account password AND Secret Key. If you have 2FA enabled for your 1Password account, and the attacker do

We have a deeper level of integration with the Mac than we've ever had. For example, 1Password 8 can now fill into many non-browser 3rd party apps, which was never possible before. https://support.1password.com/mac-univ
