$12 a year vs. a one-time purchase. Just for clarification purposes.

that means there is a annual subscribtion? i can't find any indo about that on thier site.

1Password is not a subscription service. Instead we charge a one-time fee to purchase the app. That license remains valid for the duration of that version's lifetime.

This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior). Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.

I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.

I actually did an evaluation of password storage services recently and chose LastPass over 1Password for a couple reasons: 1. 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is. You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac. 2. It has no enterprise level features (This is for my organization) such as user management, access logging and fine grained roles and sharing. 1Password might be good for…

> 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is.

I don't know about that. LastPass wants $12/yr for their premium service. 1Password charged me $60 for the Windows + Mac bundle back in 2011. Other than the fact that you have to pay up front, the price seems similar.

Well looks like I'm going to have to convince, my wife, family, extended family, and friends that they all have to switch password managers now. I'm blown away, I've been a fan since day one because of it's simplicity and availability. I am torn between waiting to see what happens and giving them the benefit of the doubt and just changing all my passwords before Logmein can f--- me.

I've had great success with dash lane so far. It even has the ability to share passwords securely with friends, colleagues.

I haven't used it, but doesn't 1password support multiple vaults? IE: your company makes a vault in a dropbox directory shared with employees, and multiple people just add that as a secondary vault? conflicting changes are probably an issue though...

It does, and that's how it works. Conflicts in vaults are also not an issue. When you get the 1Pass popup, you can specify the vault with a hot key (Cmd 1 for Primary, Cmd 2 for Corp) etc, and then choose from whichever vault, if there is any overlap.

Yeah, I should. But Arch doesn't provide packages for it yet and there's no realistic attack vector against my usage of TrueCrypt, so meh. It's good enough until Arch starts shipping packages.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/veracrypt/

Sure, but at that point, why is maintaining my own package better than just using Truecrypt?

LastPass works really good on Linux.

It's true. They have a little shell script that you run once and it adds their plugin to all the installed Chromes, Chromiums, and Firefoxes on your machine.

I've played with Linux and never figured this out- What's the difference between Chrome and Chromium?

Nevermind, I remembered how to Google... http://www.howtogeek.com/202825/what’s-the-difference-betwee...
