[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1851662, member: 38864"] I use 1P and Keychain also. I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't put all your eggs into one basket. Like you said, if Keychain gets corrupted, your passwords are gone. Likewise, if your 1Password database gets corrupted, or if you are a subscriber and decide "eh, I'm tired of paying for this every month" and choose to end your sub, well it's all gone. Now, 1Password is easily recovered from backups so I'm more confident in that. I'm not sure how restoring Keychain works from backups when using iCloud syncing, but that should be an option also. Feature-wise, 1Password can generate crazy strong passwords to your liking, tailored to what a site requires. I like to go as strong as I can, but many sites won't allow that so I have to dial it back, sometimes to as little as 12 characters. Also, what apparently is not well known, is that you can use 1Password to plug in those 6-digit one time passcodes that Google Authenticator, Authy, and others are used for. Yep, 1P can do it all.
