This is very, very bad news. Even if their client telemetry ends up being opt-in, the “feature” will be part of the client code base, opening up an attack surface and chance of data leakage. I can already see the apology letter from their CEO coming in (“we let our users down”).

1Password, don’t do it!

Rely on other means to collect usability feedback like surveys, internal usability testing and developer tooling for build-time usability testing. Your app is simple enough that you absolutely, categorically do not need to subject your users to mass surveillance.

I am currently paying for a 1P family subscription and I will be moving to another provider or self-host a free/OSS password manager should your telemetry plans eventuate.
