Remove master password from keychain

hollandlef

Hi,



First up, great job on version 4. You've clearly taken some tough decisions which have ticked a few people off, but to me, they seem like the right choices. As a software developer myself I appreciate it when a team builds for the long term even if it means taking some heat from those that want everything to be perfect all of the time (for free! with a cherry on! by yesterday!) I look forward to seeing the improvements roll out to the desktop version in due course...



One change that I particularly welcome is the move away from storing the master password in the iOS keychain - that bugged me on a number of levels in the old version. I have a question relating to that. I remember seeing in another post somewhere on here that iOS is not very good at tidying up after itself, and removing an app does *not* remove saved Keychain entries for that app. Since not having the master password in the keychain is one of the big steps forward in v4, I was wondering how I could ensure that it gets removed before I delete v3... will turning off DropBox sync in v3 do the trick or is there some other magic I can do?



Thanks,



Lucian

In version 4 turning off Dropbox will also remove all Dropbox authentication tokens from the keychain. I went to 1Password 3 code to double-check, and it is removing the stored passwords when you reset Dropbox sync.

Thanks roustem, that's really helpful - have deleted all the old app stuff now and feel considerable better knowing that my master password is stored nowhere except my head!

We feel the same way. It was stored very securely before, but not being stored at all is even better.

For those of us that already deleted the app, but want to do the same thing, is it simply a matter of reinstalling v3, resetting Dropbox in it, then deleting it again?

That should work. I'm not sure offhand of a better solution. Perhaps Roustem knows of one.
