Regardless, I'm glad they are being open about this. I use 1password, so I want to know absolutely anything that could be a threat, especially after the debacle with LastPass.

1password user data is encrypted, right? so even if a hack had allowed a bad actor access to user pw databases, it's not like they would've just scored everyone's passwords.. right?

Exactly. Accounts are locked with both password and encryption key. The latter is not known by 1Password.

To be accurate, they don't know either. A login key and a decryption key are derived from password and secret key client-side.
