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.

Why did you switch from bit warden?

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 have the same problem. It's quite frustrating.

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.

Thanks for the guidance

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

It is sad, running Firefox as a browser, Slack, Teams and 1password as 3 more browsers... Oh I forgot Postman! What are other "apps" common among developers built on the Electron?

VS Code, Atom, GitHub Desktop.

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

Correct. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using pass on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

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.

Apologies if this comes off rude, but GTK has increasingly becoming Gnome Toolkit, and notion of it on other platforms/DEs gets hand waived away.

It may suit some people's taste, it is more open than Qt in some aspects and it has better language integration by virtue of being written in C.

But, as a Plasma/i3 user, I avoid GTK apps as much as possible. Thankfully At/KDE apps are plenty and fully functional.

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…

This does look amazing. Reading the announcement show a level of deep integration not just for Linux, but for individual distributions and UI’s.

vscode, arduino ide 2 (not entirely sure)

Honestly you can build quite a list if we are not constrained with dev tools only.

I'm just surprised people call Electron apps "native" now.

The issue is that we call pure web apps "apps" too now, so it can be hard to differentiate. We just released desktop clients (electron) for our platform, and native was a term I didn't want to use but it is quite helpful to distinguish the two.
