Comment on: [dead]

I was under the impression that the 1Password database is synced and stored locally. If that is the case why would the servers having issues prevent logins to local databases, and not just the syncing of them?Edit: It would appear the browser extensions can directly access the web interface without needing the stand alone 1Password application installed. As I run the standalone 1Password + browser extension, it can fall back on the locally stored database if the servers go offline.

Comment on: Deprecating the Sync and Datastore APIs

1Password doesn't use the Sync API.
