Isn't it risky to keep the Emergency Kit pdf on my computer?

Theoretically, if hacker had access to my computer and used some sort of key logger to get my master password, wouldn't they be able to access my account? Or is that scenario incredibly unlikely?

Is there a way to disable adding new devices?

Thanks.

    Hi @securityn00b,

    No worries, I’ve moved this thread over to our Memberships board as you asked specifically about the Emergency Kit, which is exclusive to 1Password Membership.

    You’re right: if someone is able to install a key logger or other malware on your computer they could likely access your data. That isn’t really any different with or without 1Password. It also probably wouldn’t make any difference in this case if your Emergency Kit were stored on your computer or not.

    1Password is not a malware prevention tool. Good computer hygiene and security best practices still apply. We’re one tool in the security toolbox. :)

    Essentially: If someone has that level of access to your computer... you’re in big trouble regardless.
