I'm bumping this thread with questions about these cloud storage password services. Been using 1Password for years in the Apple ecosystem. The Safari 13 release killed the old extensions gallery and took the 1Password browser extension with it. So you have to upgrade to 1Password 7 to get the new Safari extension which moves you to the cloud storage model.
It likely works well and is convenient, but I just can't get my head around trusting a cloud provider with all of my passwords. Yes I understand their security model with a secret key but it still bothers me.

Any discussion on this? You guys run into the same dilemma?
Here's my take on this concern, though my concern was a little different but in the same ballpark. And that was, what about the employees of these companies peeking at your stuff?
These are businesses, in business for the same reason everyone else goes into business: to provide a service and make money. If word got out (and it wouldn't take long) that employees were accessing your data, that company would go under. They go through rigorous background checks. Also, from your concern, 1password does boast that they have never been compromised. I'm getting close to completing my first year on it and I love it!
