> Once attacker gets your one master password (through zero-day or just by watching you type it

A bit off-topic perhaps, but can a keylogger really grab your master password as you type it? 1password and OSX has secure entry for entering a system password, no?

I don't know much about OSX, but do you really think it will stop him once he is already in the system and has kernel access? If i understand correctly, "secure input" just tells operational system to stop sending keyboard events to other programs. If that's the case, then it doesn't help against zero-day at all.

Key loggers don't need to be software. A USB interception, a weak proprietary 2.4GHz radio interface, or a badly implemented Bluetooth keyboard can all leak password plaintext directly to an attacker.

so very specific, targeted attacks. In other words, unless pros are going after you do enjoy (relative) security
