What sets 1Password apart from other Password Managers?

1Password requires a combination of your account password and a Secret Key. Your Secret Key will protect your passwords due to its security design:

It’s created on your device
It does not pass through 1Password servers
It’s included in your account password when deriving the keys needed to decrypt your data
All data is encrypted, not just your passwords
It’s high-entropy (34 characters, 128-bits)
