If I were unfamiliar with 1Password, I'd imagine the product is an absolute dumpster fire from your post. In reality, the macOS and iOS clients work fine. I have a dozen friends and family members using the product with no complains on those platforms. I surely haven't seen any performance or UI problems that aren't worse on different services. Sure, there is some current confusion between the use of the 1Password X…

I wouldn't say the product is a dumpster fire, but core workflows are a mess. This is how you generate and save a password for a new site: 1) Extension button > Generate Password > Save & Copy 2) After creating account, extension button again > select entry > Edit 3) Click Save in opened modal 4) Click Convert to Login in opened modal 5) Click Edit in opened modal 6) Manually type in the username/email you used on th…

The article is a little light on details but this seems like a cool addition to 1Password. The op cli is alright but having to re-unlock it every 30 minutes (plus I'm shell dumb so my session is nuked every new tab I open) means there's quite a lot of friction compared to the desktop version where I just double tap the side button on my Apple watch I wonder if this could be a potential alternative in some roundabout…

It's a fundamental concern I've always had with subscriptions for non-entertainment services or trivially fungible goods. I've become a big believer in business incentives and feedback loops for sustainable commercial relationships. Individual leadership and culture can stand against them to some extent for a time, but individuals move on and it seems that near inevitably over enough years organizations tend to track…

There is a rub to this too however. In a pay to upgrade model you are incentivised to stuff your application with features and also need to support old versions indefinitely if they have network components. Granted in 1Pssword case, their classic app would not have stopped working without upgrades. And to my knowledge it should also still work? I have since switched to the subscription model but I have used the old p…

Not sure about Android but, for iOS users, it makes no sense trusting open source software. So, even if you choose strongbox or keepassium as they’re open source you’re still trusting some dude as you have no option to verify that the iOS build is the same as the build on github. This is why I prefer to give my password to a company like Bitwarden and 1Password. At least, they have less incentive to be malicious than…

Bitwarden used to be a "random dude" project for quite a while...

The iOS app is stable and fine. The MacOS native / extension interaction and choice is a mess. From a UX perspective, the single most important thing the product can do is interact with the browser effectively. Embedded in this "feature" is that the product is stable, and responsive in behavior. If you go to the chrome web store, 1password extension page and sort by recently updated, you'll see review after review of…

There’s also 2 native apps - if you install from the App Store, you don’t get all the same OTP features as an install from the website download
