Yes it's a risk Peter. I balance that risk out by using a combination of Time Machine and Super Duper backing up to two separate disks on a daily and weekly basis, and the perceived benefits of using random passwords across all my logins
against the risk of only ever using a few passwords across all the logins and risking them all being hacked if one is hacked. How realistic that risk is unknown really, but I do appreciate how 1Password makes logging in so easy. I will probably continue to sit comfortably until I have a crisis such as Stephen did.
