Shout out for Avast Passwords. Already does much of this for free. 1Password and LastPass always really annoyed me with their freemium model. Avast Passwords doesn't make you decide between controlling your passwords and paying for basic features. Highly recommend checking it out: https://www.avast.com/en-us/passwords
1Password X: A look at the future of 1Password in the browser

#12The hosted nonsense and poor linux and windows support is why I switched to enpass.

#13Definitely not my future. I liked 1Password so far, but my passwords will never go to the cloud.

#14> 1Password X was designed for our hosted 1Password service and connects directly to your account.
Agilebits/1Passwords continued shoving of their 'hosted' services down their customer's throats amazes me. I'm not even particularly against SaaS/cloud/hosted/subscription/whatever, except a password manager is exactly the type of product that I do not want in that type of environment. Is it really impossible to have a successful software business without this BS? I guess I am in the minority but I would much rather you charge me more for the software or charge me for the upgrades, than push me into your hosted cloud-subscription stuff.
Agilebits/1Password was by far the best product out there, with astonishing goodwill amongst their customer base, which they have managed to lose, not to competitors or outside forces, but rather by incinerating it themselves.

#15In-browser password managers are completely insecure by design.
Any site can write whatever they want within the page, so it's easy to fake the prompt and steal the password. The only way to prevent this is if the password manager runs as a standalone application, so that the password is entered outside the browser. 1password has this, and the workflow is fine --- switching to the insecure one makes no sense.

#16Ugh. Agilebits left out until the very end that this is only for their hosted solution. No surprise but looks like standalone users are left out in the cold. Again. Much as I like and use 1Password every day, I really really do not like the fact that they moved to a hosted model.
Same here. It doesn't even make sense to me because I already have the app installed on the same computer. I should be able to access the new features of this tool using the existing implementation. I'm even willing to pay for the extension if that needs to be done!

Same here. I bought 1Password (multiple times) and have it on my MBP, iPhone, and iPad and got the girlfriend using it on all of her devices too. Matter of fact, I switched to 1Password the very same day that LogMeIn bought out LastPass.
I am not happy about them switching to a subscription model and pushing their hosted product and (in this case) making it a requirement. Yes, the standalone version is still around. For now.
As much as I dislike it, it was (unfortunately, for us) probably the right business decision to make. The standalone version will go away at some point in the future. I'm sure of that, I just don't know when it will be.
I'll never switch to their subscription/hosted product but many, many others probably will. That will reaffirm their decision and lead to them eventually completely dropping the standalone macOS version.

#18Was excited to read "Linux users and Chrome OS users could join in on the fun?" but then ". It works everywhere Chrome works" so still no love for Firefox users... Too bad the CLI is possibly the worse CLI ever made, otherwise Firefox support wouldn't have been so important.
Enpass is pretty good on Linux.

#19s/the browser/Chrome Hey 1Password, make this available for Firefox too. It should be relatively easy to port with WebExtensions API, since it looks like a toolbar popup.
Haven't you heard that the meaning of Browser now just means Chrome. Unless someone writes cross-browser, they are only targeting Chrome, which as a Firefox user, really sucks.
Hopefully that will start to change with Firefox Quantum, which in my brief experience has been fantastic.

#20"1Password X was designed for our hosted 1Password service and connects directly to your account." Nope, sorry. No. Never. I'd rather change password managers than rely on a small, niche company to keep the data secure and in sync -- larger players have a much bigger advantage here. I can see a future coming when I'll only use 1Password on my phone, and have things stored on a secure enclave. It will be slightly more…
Larger players being? I can only think of Lastpass when it comes to similar feature sets.
