#121Password has probably been the single biggest productivity increase tool I've ever purchased. Worth every cent, and new Linux support news is fantastic.

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 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.
I’m a recent windows 10 convert from Mac and a 1password user for years, I have disagreements with my buddy who is a long time windows user along these lines _all_ the time. He thinks I’m insane for essentially paying for UI I prefer (I would disagree I think there’s some structural differences, but I’m okay with being reduced to that too). It’s like asking why someone buys anything, the products exist and sell and make some people happy while being absolutely insane to others. Such is life.

#14Unfortunately 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'm no Roustem but I'm close. :)
You're right, 1Password for Linux integrates tightly with the 1password.com service and as such does not support local vaults.

It's proprietary, non-free and all your passwords get send out into the wild. So it has all the things for a modern app.

#16I 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.
Awesome! I'm so happy to hear this. We'd love to hear about your experiences so please share after you give it a go.

#17Ah, amazing! I wonder if it'd be possible to make an Emacs auth source using the 1Password CLI? I kinda wish the CLI was more like pass
Re: 1Password for Linux development preview
#18Ooh boy. This is amazing. The horrible Linux support they had was the reason I left 1Password. This might make me go back to 1Password.
So sorry we scared you away! Linux has been on our radar for a while but our biggest challenge was finding a way to share code between apps without writing everything in C++. Thankfully we found Rust, a systems language built around efficiency and safety. From there we were able to build the common core we've always dreamed of and were off to the races. Please give us another chance and let us know what you think. <3

So how can I access credentials when I’m not connected to the internet? Not at all?

I'm also happy to pay for better UI alone but that does seem to offend some people. It's usually the same people who if they find out you take vitamins will start telling you what the placebo effect is.
