It sounds like they plan on releasing the technical details in the coming days/weeks. I’m curious how its de-identified and processed.
Tough place for 1Password, who clearly want to be able to collect data to maintain a competitive edge, but have an audience of security conscious users who may not be comfortable with this. But as always transparency is appreciated.
It’s also incredibly important to note that they are making this explicitly opt-in. So none of that ‘dark pattern’ mumbo jumbo with the tyranny of the default–where companies opt you in and most users dont realize they have to opt-out.
All in all they are going about this the right way it seems. The devil will be in the de-identifying technical details imo.
