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'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.

I hope Agilebits considers adding local vault support. I’m a long time user and even a subscriber, but I don’t actually use the account I pay for, for anything except license to use the software - I still use local vaults.

I’m happy with this arrangement - it’d be a shame if the Linux client never gets this functionality.

Nice to see progress here, though 1P continuing to move away from local control to force subscriptions is regrettable. Even so, the UI hasn't been matched yet IMO, which is important for getting the less technical to use it. We're sadly also still a ways away from passwords being eliminated entirely, so it's still very important to get everyone using one. One thing still missing I really hope to see though is the loc…

For many/most types of software I am in the same camp of people who would prefer to pay more upfront for a license as long as the software continues working as is - I bought it because it worked and if I chose to pay more in the future for a better version, I will make that decision based on the new features added and not the old features being held hostage.

However, for something as high-value as a password manager, I think having a subscription model makes a lot of sense. I can't think of any other class of product where timely updates from the developers are so critical to the utility of the product. You could even argue that an unpatched, out of date password manager is worse than no password manager.

Is this a preview of things to come for Mac/Windows? Will 1Password stop supporting self-hosted vaults?

I use 1PW professionally, with our whole company having shared vaults for different departments and security levels, as well as at home, so my wife and I can share some credentials. Absolutely love it. I’m spending more and more time working from Ubuntu so I’m very happy to see this, it should make things just a bit easier.

How does it compare to KeePassXC?

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.

I assume the downvotes are for tone, but this is materially correct. It is proprietary, paid, and stores your data (encrypted, but that only solves some things) on remote servers, the last point being something that's associated more with newer apps.

I just moved from (paid) 1p to bitwarden at the weekend due to lack of proper Linux support. I was just testing bitwarden and found I couldn't easily get a good export of my passwords from 1p on Linux, because only their desktop apps support that. It won't run under wine and I ended up installing a Windows VM specifically to do the export. Was so frustrated at this it pushed me to move to bitwarden. Good for them for…

... I wish I'd thought of booting into my Windows partition and installing 1password there, instead of spending an evening writing up an extremely overwrought export script on top of the commandline client.

I currently get by on Linux by syncing my 1Password vault and reimporting it to KeepassXC every time I need a newly added or updated entry. Annoying to have to create new entries on another devices and sync when I need an account on Linux but it works. Looks like this update provides me with nothing useful. There’s no way I’m moving to a 1Password account, but I might just switch away entirely the next time I need to…

Why?
