wants me to log in so leads me to a dead end - as I don't have an "account" / app membership. Reading about master passwords, I see I need my "Emergency Kit" (I got 1password many years ago & if I did have it I don't now) but following the instructions to access my "Emergency Kit" via "accounts" in the app. I am presuming, then, that one long composite word (like "quattrocaraudi714") is not as good for security as multiple words with separators (like "quattro car audi 714"). My conclusion, a longish password is VERY hard to break. I followed it to this one which I found a bit hard to grasp though. I don't keep sensitive stuff in my Dropbox, hmm, OH BUT I DO, my 1password vault.Īt long last here's my question: if someone gets a hold of my Dropbox, can they crack or compromise my 1password vault? It might be just as much of a PITA as google. SO, I know dual authentication can be a bear to deal with. Great but quite a few steps to undertake and it doesn’t always work. Google have a workaround which generates a one off app specific password. My experience with gmail has been less than ideal due to various apps that want to send mail not being dual factor authentication compatible. In my case I use Dropbox across 2 macs, an iPad and an iPhone with various apps accessing Dropbox for "sync". This got me thinking, I have setup gmail and few other apps / websites for dual factor or two step authentication and, although I know it's good 'cos it's safe, it can be a right pain across multiple devices. I read the recent update notes and see there's a way to use 1Password as an app to create 2 step authentication codes by, for example, in the case of Dropbox, scanning an onscreen QR code to "program" 1Password to create those Dropbox specific codes. I have a 1Password licence (not a subscription, in case that makes a difference.
