1Password for Linux development preview

Is this better than just using KeepPassXC with a simple kbdx file synced to an online drive? It's an honest question, I've never used 1Password before.

Yes as it isn’t subject to accidental overwrites of the data file It also has useful integrations like browser extensions so can autofill. Not sure if KeePass is capable of that. It’s a paid app though.

I switched from LastPass years ago, and 1Password is great. I use a family account, and it's been easy to get my wife to use randomly generated passwords.

The only missing piece for me is a native Linux app since I use Ubuntu for all my development environments. The web browser extension works, but it's a noticeable difference moving between it and the windows desktop app. I'm super excited to give this a try.

Unfortunately this only works with hosted 1Password (as far as I can tell), there doesn't seem to be any support for self hosted vaults. Can Roustem or anyone else from 1Password team clarify this?

This was the precise reason I switched to BitWarden 6 months ago, needed a solution where my passwords didn't leave my network.

I use KeePass on Windows and it is definitely capable of that and much, much more (see Plugins page).

I can't imagine paying for an application when a better one is available for free.
