XXXXXXXXXXX1 Premium Member join:2006-01-11 Beverly Hills, CA	XXXXXXXXXXX1 Premium Member 2012-Oct-2 8:05 pm 1Password and Dropbox I use 1Password for Windows (and used to use it in the past when I used to be a Mac guy) and know it can be paired with a Dropbox account so it can sync to other PCs and/or mobile devices. If a strong password is set on the 1Password data file, how secure is it sitting in the "cloud" on Dropbox? Seems like a convenient way to have all passwords on the go, but is the security trade-off an acceptable concession?

But the 1password storage seems pretty secure to Dropbox. It's encrypted with AES. And dropbox has encryption as well. So the file is doubly encrypted. Someone hacking Dropbox, then this file would seem like a low probability.

I too use LastPass, it's very secure and does what you are trying to do in two steps all by itself. It's certainly worth a look!

If you're truly paranoid, you can always use BoxCryptor to encrypt anything you store in the cloud.

HA Nut Premium Member join:2004-05-13 USA	HA Nut to XXXXXXXXXXX1 Premium Member 2012-Oct-3 11:42 am to XXXXXXXXXXX1 If I weren't using LastPass, I would probably consider 1Password. The only thing about using 1Password and Dropbox is that it means using 2 programs to make it all work. It's my understanding that once it's setup, it flows fairly seemlessly. But if something doesn't work, you have a more complex thing to figure out...
