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.

Please tell me local support is coming. I'm a longtime 1Password user who only uses local vaults and I feel like 1Password is increasingly showing me they aren't interested in me as a customer.

Why would I want to trust some company with all my passwords?

Generally because the chance they serve a compromised client is lower than that your homegrown storage will be compromised, and because the UI affordances make it easier to use more unique passwords and multi-step authentication.

But if my machine were compromised, my 1password password would be compromised too, wouldn't it?

Is this open source? That page makes no mention of it.

When my shop standardizes on a password manager program/browserplugin for Linux development workstations, I currently don't see us picking a closed source one.

I’ve been using 1Password every day for over 11 years now. The oldest passwords I’ve got stored are for Twitter and Dropbox (yes, the passwords have been changed but the records were first created in 2009). It’s one of those apps which has been made with proper craftsmanship and care, so while I’m not a Linux user, I’d have no problem recommending based solely on Agilebit’s reputation.

I used KeePass, then LastPAss, then tried 1Password about 8 years ago. I haven't even considered changing. I joined when they were still mostly focused on MacOS and iOS, the Windows and Android apps were secondary. Since then they really shifted to a totally cross platform experience, and I'm incredibly happy with the app. I'm glad they're branching out to Linux.

Why switch to this when keepass is way more portable, open source, and isn't some stupid SaaS program.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Hosting my encrypted data means anyone with sufficient access at any single time can copy the encrypted data and attack it or me, then or later when eventually feasible. Hosting only an executable I download and execute means the adversarial extraction of data must be contained within the executable and bypass all security from within my system. There is a window of opportunity for sending out a signal indicating the…

Very much this. I don't benefit in any way from having a copy of my sensitive data in their cloud, so as a very basic security principle, I don't want them to have it.

And that's just for my personal use. If they drop support for local vaults, I have to stop using it for work, too, because my employer prohibits password managers that store passwords in the cloud. My understanding is that these policies are specifically designed to keep us in compliance for government contracts, so I don't think they're changing.

Used Dashlane for 2-3 years and then tried 1Password and I haven’t looked back. Dashlane has too many bugs to be useful all the time.

I love 1Password.

Something I could do without though is all of the GUI animations & transitions. They create time delays, little waits that add together that introduce unnecessary delays. Sometimes I just want to login, and I want to login now.

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 just did the same over the weekend. Really loving BitWarden, it works and it’s fast. It did take me a bit of time to export out, scrub & format CSV, then import to BitWarden.
