    Fair enough, everyone has their own requirements. I'd argue that all modern operating systems have password management already built-in. We have a lot of 1Password customers with f…

    The "containerized web app" is not a correct description here. 1Password 8 on macOS, Windows, and Linux is a full-fledged desktop app. It is built in Rust with Electron/React provi…

    1Password NEVER had lifetime licenses. We made this decision since day one because we had a product before that died because it was a "lifetime" purchase. The 1Password license is …

    1Password certainly added a ton of new features recently :) Did you check 1Password developer tools, like SSH-agent server, git commit signing, and CLI? https://developer.1password…

    The client source code is the where the most of the IP is. The server code is pretty dumb on it own, all it does is the sync and permissions. One of the issues with Bitwarden encry…

    One of the tests we recently added to 1Password is the "Moby Dick Workout" for secure notes with Markdown rendering. Would love you to compare 1Password and Bitwarden: https://www.…

    Intellectual property is important and making everything open source would allow our competitors to easily copy it or at least get an idea how to improve their products. It is hard…

    Fun fact: Bitwarden also includes some of the 1Password open-source code: https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/blob/c10e93c0d9cf306a59...

    Thank you so much! It was certainly a new chapter for us, working directly for our customers and being able to live on the product we made.

    My friend and I started it as a side job, working nights and weekends. We also downsized and cut all our expenses to about $1,000/month (mortgages were smaller back in 2005). We qu…

    I see it from a different perspective. There are not that many real native Mac apps that both look and feel great. You could probably count them all on your hands. Also, I certainl…

    Thank you for using 1Password! A full rewrite takes a lot of time. We did this twice in the past and it is always painful. We had to do it again this time because the discrepancies…

    from the founder of 1Password: would love to learn where you think it is worse. 1Password 8 has a ton of new features and it is faster than the previous version. Some of the new fe…

    Founder of 1Password here. I am sorry to hear about your experience getting worse. Any chance you are not using 1Password 8 today? The problem with 1Password 7 or earlier versions …

    It is possible but not that simple. The model is going to be a bit different because it will always require the server connection to perform the authentication. At the moment, 1Pas…
