Hah. With the gimmicks, tricks, and dark patterns this company has pulled with consumer, what are the chances professionals would trust them with something like this?

I thought AgileBits was pretty well respected around here. What dark patterns are you referring to?

I've been using 1Password for my personal accounts for probably close to 10 years and have been happy with it. There are some things I feel are clunky, but I've never felt like I was being tricked or deceived by the company.

Here's to hoping there's finally a Hashicorp Vault competitor. It's shocking that the only mature option for runtime secret delivery is Vault after all these years. Some companies have created 'competitors', but they aren't even remotely mature (google secrets manager, aws secret manager, etc)

I've had good luck with Azure KeyVault.

What are your criticisms of Google secrets manager? It works well for me, but it's the only one I've used so I don't know much about the competition.

Vault is open source, it looks like 1Password Secrets is closed source. Not really comparable. Probably not aimed at the same people.

Ditto. The managed service provider VS user assigned rbac was confusing at first, but now I am happy that I took the time to understand it. Also the azure clouds handling of vaulted passwords in log files from services like Logic apps) is absolutely bad ass.

Are you confusing this company with LastPass? I made the same mistake until I realised they are entirely separate.

We use EnvKey [0], it's far friendlier to use than Vault and very mature. My only dislike is the Electron based app, but I so rarely have to open it that I can live with it.

I'm assuming he's referring to their beginnings of being a mostly local password manager (iirc they also had a one-off lifetime purchase), to forcing people to migrate to their cloud only infrastructure with a relatively high subscription price.

I'd never heard of 1Password before they were fully SaaS, but as I understand it, some of the original users were pretty upset with this move. Either way, I used to be a 1Password customer, and their product, at least on the Mac, was the most polished password manager.
