I disagree. As per the porn example in the article, and many other fathomable situations, metadata in a password manager can be as important, and sometimes more sensitive, than the password itself.

Exactly. People wouldn't care for a politician's password to IloveSexWithHorses.com (unless they like beastiality themselves and can't afford an account of their own).

The fact that he subscribes to such a site though, would be worth gold in expose articles and/or blackmail...

Point me at the part in my post where I said metadata wasn't important.

I guess my point is that simply calling metadata 'data' isn't sensationalist in this setting.

People have different risk assessments.

I'm not saying this isn't a significant risk, or shouldn't be treated as such. I'm merely saying that the headline implies that the primary data in 1Password is leaked, when it is not.

In what possible way would this headline not be more accurate if it were "1Password Leaks Your Metadata"? How would that be diminishing different peoples' risk assessments?

If you think a title is poor you should probably email the mods to suggest a better title.

They seem receptive to that kind of thing.
