I've been a long time 1Password user but their lack of Linux support made me switch to LastPass. It is great they finally decided to support Linux, but it should be noted it took them 10 years to do so (see the date of the post they mention in the link). So after ignoring Linux users for 10 years they finally decided to grant us their support. I feel my money are better spent supporting vendors who support Linux early on and do not view it as an afterthought. I will stick with LastPass.

1Password has probably been the single biggest productivity increase tool I've ever purchased. Worth every cent, and new Linux support news is fantastic.

Thank you so much for your support! This is only the beginning for our Linux client, so stay tuned for a lot more excitement!

It's made with proper craftsmanship and care on the Mac (which is primarily where I've been using it for years). The Windows client is much better after the last major release, but it's never been as slick as the Mac version (the biggest wart now is the system tray/browser extension popup). 1Password X looks nice until you try and use it, and all the company reps on the forums are very argumentative about any feature…

They were also pretty dismissive of Linux for a long time, so it's kind of funny to hear it as one of their biggest requests. 1Password X narrowly prevented me from switching for a while, but I've come to see alternatives as generally better options. Yeah, they're not as flashy, but I think Bitwarden and Keepass XC do a great job. Keepass XC may even be doing a better job at security . At least in some dimensions. ht…

That’s where Agilebits has me; the UI on Mac and iOS is so much better than the alternatives. I do keep looking, Keepass XC looks really good since the last time I checked around.

Electron? You must not be talking about the Linux app because it's written in Rust.

Embedded in an Electron app, otherwise please correct me what toolkit they are using.

Yeah it sounds like Electron with React/JS UI talking to a Rust "backend". I would give them credit for keeping the important bits in Rust though

Seriously, this is great to see. I've been using LastPass for a while but have been unhappy with it. If 1Password is taking Linux support seriously, I'll definitely switch.

I assure you, we are taking Linux support seriously. When I joined the team, we had almost no one using Linux in house. This has changed in a big way and is only part of why we are now investing in making the best darn app we can for Linux.

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'm in the same boat as the sibling: I'm about to move off of 1password because there's no Linux client. I'm a regular licence user, not a subscription user, and I will never buy a subscription from you but I've been happily paying to upgrade every time you release an upgrade to the regular software. It seems that this is signalling your commitment to stop supporting users like me, and that's very disappointing.

* I will never buy a subscription from you but I've been happily paying to upgrade every time you release an upgrade to the regular software.*

So you are a subscriber in reality, it's just your payments a slightly lumpy.

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 started to write that exact script myself (go to the point of realising jq probably wasn't going to cut it :), motivated by the desire to help others escape too but I just ran out of steam.

Plus, there was something not right about the fact I was actually paying for these damn tools and still having to write my own code! Thought I'd just get out as quickly as I could and not go back.

But having seen others in these threads complain, I do now feel kind of bad!

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.

I just used the "1PIF" export from 1p, which bitwarden supports for import (but the 1p cli doesn't support).

I'm loving bitwarden too. It's slightly not as good as 1p in some ways, but better in more than others. That's my review :)

1Password is a great app but I can’t justify spending $120 CAD per year on their family plan. (I know it’s slightly less expensive to pay a year upfront, which I’d rather not do)

I'm not sure where you're getting this price, is that your calculation with GST/HST?

Plans on https://1Password.ca are CA $7.95/month (CA ~$96 for the year) for monthly billing. We think this is a killer price for five family members without any restrictions like living at the same residence. You do save quite a bit with annual billing, but I understand that's not for everyone.
