About mkenyon

Staff Software Engineer at 1Password. I work on Developer Ecosystems. We focus on the experience for our most powerful users. Whether it's the 1Password CLI, our Touch ID-enabled SSH agent, service accounts, IDE extensions, CI/CD integrations, and much much more... that's all under my umbrella.

    Food bank usage is up ~30% year-over-year. Hardly surprising that people are delaying upgrades for smartphones. (Not a “grrr, smartphones” post, just a sad reality post)

    Staff dev on 1Password’s developer tools here. We screwed this up in our first few releases of the 1Password CLI, largely out of ignorance. Those releases stored config in $HOME/.o…

    I love JMAP. It's what allowed me and my team (at 1Password) to easily add support for Masked Emails, where we randomly generate your email address in addition to your password. Ou…

    I've been a happy Fastmail customer for years prior to working on this feature. I've used a wildcard with my Fastmail account, created a new email address for each service I sign u…

    That's a good concern. I can't fully speak for the Fastmail folks, but I know that there are a few upper limits for how many masked email addresses that one account can create. We …

    Definitely! You can decide within Fastmail’s settings[0] which domain you want to use for masked emails. It can be fastmail.com, one of their fun domains like afcrichmond.uk, or on…

    True! I've been doing wildcard.company.name@mydomain.com for a few years now with Fastmail. This makes it one step easier to generate that email address, as well as one-click block…

    Those +plus aliases still make it easy for people find your actual email address. We go one step further and generate a random email address for each new service you sign up with. …

    Hi, one of the 1Password engineers who worked on this. Glad to hear that you like the idea! One of the really nice parts of building this out with Fastmail is that you can create M…

    I mean, sure, you're technically correct, but you're missing the point. For just one example, it's so heckin' convenient when an app recognizes that you have a 2FA token in your cl…

    Nice. I've really missed stupid/short games like these. Most Flash games have a separate instruction box for what keys to press. Any way to add this?

    I think it's the "well-configured" part. While I love using vim, my .vimrc file and .vim folder have been crafted and maintained over years. I can't give those to beginners without…

    There is. Adblock Plus allows plain and unobtrusive advertising out of the box. For example, Reddit was recently whitelisted, which I'm sure helps their bottom line. https://adbloc…
