How does 1Password compare to Firefox Lockwise? I am using Lockwise and it uses the same technology and cross-platform sync. Since I already use Firefox this is a no-brainer to me, and it's free. Is there an advantage to 1Password over Lockwise?
You also don’t have desktop apps in case you open an app that doesn’t support your password manager.
I thought Apple had bought them? Am I thinking of a different password management app?

Definitely waiting for Apple to buy them & integrate into macOS/iOS/iPadOS. Apple use 1Password themselves.

You’re probably being downvoted because of this statement, which is blatantly wrong: > The only reason they went to the cloud is because most people were buying one copy and sharing it with multiple people. It’s cloud-based because the majority of password management users want automatic cross-device updates without setting up their own server.
That’s why you create a free Dropbox account or just use your free iCloud account. This is even what 1Password used to recommend as part of its setup, if I remember correctly. I’d it was simply storage, the. It would be an add on, but it’s not. It seems like it’s more of a strategy to increase cash flow by converting to ongoing subscriptions instead of one time purchases. This is the same motivation that switched MS…
The truth is that my grandmother needs a password manager and she barely understands what minimizing a window does. "Just store your vault in dropbox" is friction and that matters much more to the huge majority of users than the fact that the vault is stored on a cloud service.

>It’s cloud-based because the majority of password management users want automatic cross-device updates without setting up their own server. So? You can put the database on gdrive, icloud, dropbox, or any cloud service you want. I think most users understand the concept of creating a file, putting stuff in it, and putting it on a file syncing service (or usb drive).
I've been a customer for 10 years (coincidentally, I checked email and I downloaded it from the iOS app store 10 years today) and very happy. The two things I'd love for them to fix are: 1/ Make the Windows version feel more like the macOS one. I switch between the two OS's all the time and it always feels jarring to open the Windows one after using the other. 2/ Add an option to cache everything locally. My phone ha…
I'm pretty sure you can access all your passwords offline. So not sure what os/version you are using... but you might ask 1Password support about why that's not working for you.
I'm sure I've been in situations where I am trying to download a travel permit for example at a check in desk overseas and there is no signal.
I'll see if passwords are the same - maybe those are indeed kept locally.

What do you mean native app? I use the native apps all the time and it’s a pretty prominent thing that you get redirect to when you press get started on their front page
They make it incredibly difficult to still pay the one-time fee for the software vs. doing the monthly charge. Like, hiding it. They have threads on their support forum of users complaining how deceptive it is. It's clear they want your vault on their servers and you paying the monthly fee instead of using Dropbox and paying a one-time fee.

The potential is just as huge Apple and MS add “good enough” solutions. From a biz context, 1pwd is winning in its niche. But it’s just a feature the OS vendors haven’t prioritized from a technical context. I am grabbing AWS keys from MacOS keychain and can access creds I save in iCloud from any device. Uh oh 1pwd
An "ok" password manager is surely a feature Microsoft will add to Office 365, with a pro upgrade to shared passwords, etc

They might have great software - I don't know. But personally I absolutely refuse to use a paid option for a service of this type. There's just too much risk. What happens if my credit card expires and I forget to update/pay? Or I get hospitalized suddenly and there's a similar payment issue? Is my account just closed and everything deleted? Then there's the risk of me putting everything in there and them jacking up…
This is a really easy question to answer. I duck-duck-went "1password what happens if I stop paying" and the first link was https://support.1password.com/membership-billing-policy/ From the link: > Your data is yours. Even if you cancel your subscription and your account is frozen, you can still sign in to 1Password.com or in the apps to view and export your data.
In the end was more happy with KeePass as 1Password was too user-friendly for me and I wanted something more stupid for passwords.
