I'll take that risk, given probability over possibility. But thank you for pointing out at least one scenario I hadn't thought of!

Local cache doesn't expire, also the probability of me being offline for so long that this becomes a problem is close enough to zero for my comfort.

That said, I am guessing you might be responsible for some kind of critical (even just to you) infrastructure so we probably have different variables in our "is this for me" math..

I hope no other apps are watching your clipboard.

One nice feature that 1pass has is that it will warn you when you attempt to autofill credentials for a url or mobile application that isn't listed as part of the credential.

e.g. 1pass "Logins" have a URI associated with them like "google.com" and if you visit a phishing site like "g00gle.com" and hit autofill 1pass says something along the lines of "Are you sure you want to fill these creds into g00gle.com?" and not fill until you approve. It's not foolproof, but certainly provides a nice barrier against fake login/phishing sites.

Note that, to my knowledge, 1Password's local cache never expires, not even after you've been removed from the 1Password account on the cloud side.
