1Password is excellent on vault privacy, but web tracking and account metadata still live outside the encrypted core.
1Password is strongest where its zero-knowledge design keeps vault contents protected even from the provider itself.
The weakest area is not the vault but the outer account layer, including cookies, support interactions, billing records, and website analytics.

1Password says saved vault data is end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to 1Password itself.
The product's main privacy protection is architecture, not a settings toggle that can later be changed.
Support materials clearly distinguish encrypted secrets from ordinary service metadata.
