They haven’t had the history of security problems that LastPass has had, and they’ve taken steps to handle this kind of situation by including an extra per-user key to stymie password guessing if someone does get the vaults:

I stopped using them when they switched to subscription-only but I think it’s in their favor that they have planned for a nightmare scenario rather than assuming it won’t happen.

I hope 1Password is watching this closely and can learn from mistakes made by LastPass.

Yeah I thought the same. I don't think 1Password is immune to security issues. However, after seeing several things I did not like in LastPass development, I decided 1Password was the safer bet. Knock on wood, they claim they've never been hacked and I hope it stays that way.
