If the security key never leaves my device, how can 1password be restored from an iCloud back up.

I just set up an iPad from an iCloud back up from a different device. That got me to wondering how that can happen if the security key never leaves my device. I was under the impression it wasn't stored with you guys either. Does backing my iPad up to iCloud reduce the security of my 1password account. I am using 1password with 1password syncing. Thank you.

1Password Version: 6.7.1
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: 10.3.2 ios
Sync Type: 1Password

Hi @Bronwen224466

Thanks for taking the time to write in. We've been having a discussion on a very similar question here:

Does that help? Please let us know.

Thank you. I did read the information and post a question on the thread to the iOS discussion that was linked in the android discussion. Presumably new comments on somewhat dormant threads do get seen…
