Dale Myers posted a blog entry (http://myers.io/2015/10/22/1password-leaks-your-data/) a few days ago about a problem he’d found in 1Password: while passwords in AgileBits’ vaults were secure, metadata was stored in the clear. And this was intentional, allowing web-based access to the vault to retrieve information without requiring the 1Password app.</p><p>
Myers wasn’t incorrect and he wasn’t over-sensationalizing the situation. He also provided a recommendation for a solution, one that AgileBits endorsed in its blog entry (https://blog.agilebits.com/2015/10/19/when-a-leak-isnt-a-leak/) responding to his post. And he continues to use the product.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2996213/security/1password-is-still-secure-but-you-can-reduce-a-potential-risk.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
