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 t…

Just use bitwarden. Open source and the only thing that you'd really want to pay the 10/year for is 2fa integration.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

In fairness, Linux GUI toolkits suck a lot. I was a professional Qt developer in a past life and while it stands head and shoulders above GTK, that’s really not saying much. I’ve often thought about making my own toolkit, but there’s so much that we forget about from things like focus to accessibility to text layout and rendering (much text has been rendered on why text rendering sucks). My hope is that Rust breathes…

> fairness, Linux GUI toolkits suck a lot Well, this is GTK password manager https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/PasswordSafe - UI works really well, use it every day. Guess GTK will be much more popular 'cause Qt LTS going to be proprietary.

I meant "they suck for developers", not necessarily for users. I'd rather not get into details because the topic tends to invite flame from some C and especially C++ developers and I don't have the energy for that this morning.

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 think something was borked in the config/sqlite db a few updates ago when the 'native' auth parts were added. I was bitten with the same bug. Nuking the `.config/1Password` directory and re-adding my account seemed to work. Not a great solution, but it's worked fine since.

Interesting:

> 1Password for Linux also debuts with several features that are coming soon to 1Password for Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android

That should be encouraging for Linux users. It suggests that the Linux version is not just a port that will forever at best follow the other platforms. It can get pretty annoying when you have something that is available on multiple platforms, and your platform tends to always lag the others.

Yes, it is yet another Electron app. https://github.com/1password/electron-hardener

I really think this is the single most substantial reason as to why desktop linux has sucked for so long.

I was following your comment until the end - I don't have any probems with Rust but how will that help the situation?

I just use pass: https://www.passwordstore.org/

gopass [1] is a 100% compatible pass implementation that has some collaboration features added.

However, I primarily use it for the `gopass search` output. This is where `pass` really sucks for those who copy-paste.

Were you able to update to 8.0.34? We recently moved the deb and rpm repositories to prepare for this release. Installing the deb or rpm from https://1password.com/downloads/linux/ should setup the correct repo for future updates.

If you have 8.0.34, and still can't log-in you may be experiencing the issue yabones described. support@1password.com can provide you with more hands-on help.

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?

It specifically calls out many the native integration features. What are you looking for in non electron apps that is missing in this version of app?
