Been using it for years on multiple machines and iOS devices. Works great, and I happily pay for it every once in a while. I'd rather support a small company dedicated to this, than get a cheap product from a corporation with unclear goals.

Hi jwr, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.

Adding to the other response here -- it's great to thank your customers, and you wouldn't want to hide that you're affiliated with AgileBits. But please bear in mind that people reading HN are here to read a discussion.

A good guideline is just "does this add useful/interesting content to the discussion?"; if not, think very hard before adding it.

I'm sorry you feel that way and will try to correct it. Can you send me feedback on the functionality that's not working as well now in Meldium? There's definitely some edges we're still working through and I'd love to make sure we make it awesome for you asap. You can drop me an email as well (boris at meldium dot com)

I have to agree. The new interface is too much bells and whistles not so much functionality. Another weird behavior is the chrome which doesn't open a new tab immediately but hold for couple of seconds. This makes you wonder if you should wait before you can switch to a different tab.

We'll work on fixing that. I think it's safe to say that particular tab experiment hasn't worked out.

I saw Passwordbox getting acquired by Intel, now this. I don't think I'm going to switch to 1Password or another. I think they are just going to be acquired one day by unknown big entity... better be safe and keep your passwords to yourself

Looks like Dashlane ($40) and Sticky Password ($20) are viable alternatives. Both are more expensive than Lastpass. Reading the reviews, these seem like the best so far. Anyone with experience on either of these they can share?

I'm seeing Dashlane at $40 per year. That's pretty steep.

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.

Logmein has a great tech organization and certainly hasn't ruined meldium since they bought it. I think they've made a couple boneheaded moves around enterprise pricing that people have pointed out here, but expect they'll take good care of it.

If you're looking to change your password manager, I've been using `pass` [0] for years now, and it's one of he best open source project I have ever used. Everything works, it uses git for remote storage and gpg for encryption. There is no fancy browser plugin, but a command line to get the password is enough, since browsers cache the password afterwards and most sites use long lived sessions through cookies. And the…

Big fan of pass, but there is also a browser plugin! https://github.com/jvenant/passff

How do you sync between devices?

This is a little different. I think the disclosure is important. Maybe they could just be more succinct with it.

If it's for an organization you should probably use KeePass, as all the data is kept locally by the organization. Allowing any third party access to sensitive passwords sounds like a bad idea.

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the company that makes 1Password. I would just like to clarify that AgileBits never gets access to your data or your Master Password. It is either stored locally on the user's machine or network or in his/her own Dropbox or iCloud account.

Please also consider officially supporting BT Sync.

I'm really not keen on Dropbox syncing as there is no need for a copy to exist on the cloud

I also love pass. My problem now though is what to recommend to family and friends. I've been evangelizing lastpass to them for a while, but I'm not comfortable telling anyone to trust them anymore.
