    Hi Celerity,

    Jailbreaking removes one layer of security for 1Password data, but your data still remains safe. On iOS only the signed official application can ever get near its own data, but jailbreaking gets around the requirement for signed apps.



    However your 1Password data are well encrypted and only by discovering your master password for 1Password on the device could someone get at your data. You can read more about how 1Password keeps your data safe even in case of jailbreaking in a blog post about this:

    Of course we can't endorse jailbreaking. But we have designed 1Password so that your data remain safe even if someone does apply a jailbreak to your phone. We use multiple layers of security.



    Cheers,
