I built a Linux machine to perform my development work on and found it out. "It has never been supported on Linux", uh, okay? I'm saying it's totally shitty that a major platform is not supported.
Linux is a major platform? It’s probably as hard to write a Linux version as it is to write the other two, but it has at least two orders of magnitude fewer users.

#42Ugh. 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.

#43Am I the only one in here who loves their hosted solutions? We use Teams at work and I use Family for my wife and I. It's important to me that I have access to certain passwords on my desktop, laptop and phone. These items also need to be accessible to others who should be able to view/edit. There's no way to do with without some sort of cloud solution and so the decision becomes which cloud solution. I used to use D…
As far as syncing using non-hosted 1Password, I use a combination of wifi sync (for mobile devices) and Resilio (in local sync only mode, no tracker, no cloud copy a la Dropbox) to sync. Works very nicely across 5 or 6 devices and fits my use case of syncing only when my devices are on the same network.

#44Ouch! I just switched to Firefox 57 and I can't use this new feature! Shouldn't the WebExtension be portable across both browsers with minimal work with Firefox 57?

The Standalone version’s support is abysmal. Just yesterday I found out it is not supported on Linux. I’m sorry, but what ? I almost regret purchasing 1Password. edit: So complaining about lack of support for a major operating system is downvote-worthy now. Cool. Keep it classy, HN.
A lot of commercial software is not supported on Linux. The vast majority of it, even. At one point I ran the legacy Windows version under Wine, which even worked with the Chrome extension. Had to disable some extension security policy in Chrome though.
So it's all relative =)

#46I hate LastPass, and want to use 1P but LP just seems to work better. Despite being bloated and ugly.
Admittedly, I haven't tried 1P for around a year now. So as I have a license, I have been tempted to go back. Is it worth it?
My biggest gripe is in Chrome on iOS. Nothing ever seems to be able to autofill correctly and the UX is just horrible...
1. Tap Menu Button
2. Tap Share Button
3. Tap LastPass
4. Authorise Touch ID
5. Select Password
6. Autofill fails... Go back to 1. (Then hold to copy the password instead of fill)

#47edit: Seems to me that even if you set a fixed file size of 1-2k for each entry it wouldn't be too huge, or perhaps a dual-file per entry system with one small fixed-size file (128-256 bytes?) for indexed info (URL, name, username), etc. and a second fixed at multiples (or powers) of 1KB for added data (actual passwords, password history, notes, etc.) you could mostly avoid disclosing information even about URL lengths, etc. You could probably reasonably obscure a lot by doubling the larger file's size as the minimum increment and for most scenarios the file size would still be pretty trivial by modern networking/storage standards. Would stink for binary storage or images, etc. but there are different solutions available for that.

Yeah, I saw that was an option, but installing Wine and all its dependencies (~750 MB of space) just to run a legacy Windows app is a non-starter, for obvious reasons.
Slightly non-intuitive, but functional.

Standalone user here since 1Password 2.0, using it both on iOS and OSX. I feel that it receives pretty frequent updates, and doesn't suffer from feature bloat. It even synchronizes great with Dropbox. What are people's gripes with AgileBits' support of the standalone version?
People see progress happening on something they don’t use (because standalone is basically feature-complete) and just want to gripe. I’ve been a stand-alone user for literally as long as I can remember and have never had a single issue with 1P.
I think it comes from a desktop software mentality, where things remained rather static relative to mobile’s rapid changes.
