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.

Appreciate your response. I'll reiterate what I've said past threads - I love 1Password a lot, and used it exclusively from 2012 to early 2020, in addition to using it personally I converted majority of my extended family to it as well. What irks me is that I paid for the desktop (macOS) app and iOS app once back in 2012 and once again for 1Password 7 (or 6?) upgrade, that is not enough to support the company and is…

As somebody who uses exclusively local vaults and pays via subscription, that is totally possible. It’s not possible on Linux, as noted above, but the Mac/iOS apps have supported that for the full lifespan of the subscription model.

App looks slick. Installed on Ubuntu. Very cool.

Unsubscribed from LastPass and subscribed to a Family plan here. Hoping for updates to bring all the rest of the features. EDIT: Took the opportunity to eval a couple of others. BitWarden stood out because it's open-source and cheaper for the family plan (the difference between 1Password individual and BitWarden family is not a big difference).

My thoughts:

* 1Password had a really cool app and very good import from LastPass

* Bitwarden's app is pretty good but the import breaks on Secure Notes that are a bit longer

Ultimately went with Bitwarden because it's cheap and I was able to migrate my big notes in approx 10 minutes manually.

How does 1Password compare to LastPass? For one, LastPass _always_ freezes Chrome on me a few times a day.

1Password is pretty stable, I have not had any problems with applications freezing.

I was going to switch to LastPass since I have two younger children that I'd like to use a password manager, but LastPass has the same 17+ restriction so I'm looking for other options. But if you don't have the same issue, 1Password is a solid choice.

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.

This is what I like about HN, interesting people drop by from time to time to visit.

I have been a happy 1Password customer for years, but I am in the market for a change now. I really wish 1Password had an iOS client that didn't require 17+ permissions.

I think you can just use 1Password for Families in this case

Businesswise, it makes sense as a first push: get a solid UX working for existing 1pass users who sync via the cloud better access on Linux. Then move on to the less glamarous parts like local vaults. > I just don't want anything to do with my entire vault being hosted elsewhere, potentially irra…

If you can't trust them to host an encrypted blob, you can't trust them to run code on your local machine. I agree with you that the resistance isn't rational.

That isn’t logical at all. The two are completely different threat models.

I used to be a happy 1Password customer until they decided that they did not want people like me as customers. I trust the code, I don’t trust them to store my data, encrypted or not.

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…

> There’s no way I’m moving to a 1Password account Why?

Use local vaults and you can firewall the application. Sync a different way and somebody would have to compromise 1Password and the sync service to get your passwords. Use a 1Password account and you have to use your master password in a web browser to manage your account.
