I use 1Password in all my Apple Devices .
Until now, It's very simple for me : 1 (One) Password "Opens" my secure data .
Can someone explain in SIMPLE WORDS why do I need to use Emergency Kit and "Secret Key" ?
Please do not referring to a link ... :)
Thank you .
PS I don't think that I have an account - Don't know why ...


1Password Version: 1Password Version 6.8.7 (687003) Mac App Store
Extension Version: 4.6.12
OS Version: mac highsierra 10.13.3
Sync Type: iCloud

    Accounts and the emergency kit refer to the newish subscription model. If you have a stand-alone licence then you don't have an account.

    You might want to consider changing to a subscription, see https://support.1password.com/why-account/ for information. But you don't have to if you are happy with the current setup.

    I would take a look at the All Vaults section of preferences, and see if Primary is selected, as this is the stand-alone vault.
