We at saas pass authenticator and password manager solved the linux support by building a comprehensive browser extension application that does not require a desktop app at all. It is a different approach eliminating the need for a local client. All the major browsers on Linux are supported including chromium.

(helped with design of the browser extension)

Is this a subscription only feature?

If history is any indicator, they will say it’s not subscription only while simultaneously leaving all the docs and kb articles on their website in a state that makes it sound like it’s subscription only. They don’t really want non-subscription customers, but they don’t want to say that outright. This has been clear for years and is the reason I’ve given up despite thinking their (non-subscription) product is worth the money. It just feels like they are always on the verge of dropping support for it.

What a scam. All this hype and it is another Electron app. Windows and Mac versions are native and yet Linux gets a version that uses 'Electron'. Yuck.

Fortunately, to give us the illusion that it is 'fast' they need to mention that it uses 'Rust'. And?

As far as I know, 1Password does not have a free tier.

They used to have a paid tier where you just pay for the software outright and use it offline. They have been making it harder and harder to find every release, so it may not exist anymore.

I've just switched to KeePassXC from bitwarden in the last month, and the experience has been pretty bad. My main complaint is that KeepassXC-browser can't recognize maybe 30-50% of login fields, and the autotype shortcuts seem to be broken in Firefox. Maybe I can switch to 1Password.

I've had the beta installed a long time but it stopped working a week or two ago. Perhaps I need to reinstall or something now that the main version is live?

EDIT: Nope, still can't login. Bleh.

I'm a big fan of 1Password. I've been paying for it for years. A few years ago I got my partner setup in a few minutes and now they have strong passwords everywhere. Its got great features for sharing vaults with other people so I've got password managers setup for the kids too. My partner and I both have personal vaults, we have a shared vault for financial stuff, and a shared vault for our media accounts (that we share with the kids too)

I get that people bristle about SaaS subscriptions in their personal life but the $60/year it costs is well worth it. The research shows that strong passwords and limiting re-use is extremely effective at preventing account compromises and 1Password makes this dead simple.

The thing that finally made it an incredible app was when Apple finally allowed 3rd party password management in iOS.

Yes there might be better password managers out there and they might have better security. However show me an alternative with a UX that is simple enough for my 6 year old to use, that works on iOS, Android, MacOS, and now Linux.

1Password works so much better for me than KeepassXC, especially in Firefox auto fill. But so did Bitwarden. Both are great options.
