While this looks interesting, I'll admit I feel like there's been a bit of drift from their bread and butter over the years since they launched their cloud thing and started pushing hard towards a subscription model. I chose them long ago specifically over options like LastPass because I liked having a rich application without internet dependency and their attention to detail and features there, but it's been a while…

Very much agree. My pet peeve at the moment is this[1], where they removed a feature I very much like (TouchID in the standalone browser extension) and still have yet to replace that functionality despite many promises that it is just around the corner. It was removed in August 2020. Definitely feel like they've lost sight of why people chose them in the first place, and stuff like this is certainly not helping assua…

I use a password manager but, as a mostly-Apple user, I see very little reason not to just use iCloud Keychain: the UX of Apple’s solution is significantly better than all the alternatives because I don’t have to remember yet another password/mfa token to type in every once in a while.

Most password managers support auth with touchid/face id these days, I believe. The value prop if you're 100% on-Apple, and OK with this fact, is hard to challenge. If you have some non-apple devices that need passwords, that's where having a third-party password service makes sense. FWIW, I use `pass`, as a mostly-Apple person who also owns a few linux devices and occasionally requires passwords while `ssh`'d into s…

Yes, this convert to login only after the item being saved makes little sense. It took a few times of catching the button being shown to figure out the pattern of clicks needed to do this fundamental aspect of what the product is intended to do.

There are a few threads related to saving, and I wasn't sure which to jump in to, but I wanted to share a few of the ways we've tried to make saving better in the newer extension. First of all, we have a new "Generator History" section, which contains passwords created by the generator. These are always available if you need them, but don't show up alongside other items, so are less important to clean up. We've also…

To elaborate on what my colleague, Ben, said, we have been in the process moving to more common cross platform code. A it more than a year ago we had - 1Password for Mac and iOS written in Objective-C and Swift - 1Password for Android, written in Java - 1Password for Windows, written in C# - 1Password CLI, written in Go - 1Password web-app, in Typescript - Browser extension in Typescript Introducing new features was…

This is an excellent answer, thanks. Reading between the lines a bit - biometric authentication was deprecated (from ‘for Mac’) as it was broken or at risk of breaking, and further dev on legacy code was moot due to the transition?

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

Yeah and I’ve never used it while it was a random dude project. You need enough street cred if you want me to trust my whole life in your hands.
