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 s…

I used to be a strong advocate of 1Password, but I was also using Syncthing to synchronize my password database to multiple devices. 1Password basically killed support for that because they want people to pay for their SaaS offering. I ultimately switched to self-hosted Bitwarden and have been much happier with it.

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

I'm actually surprised by that, I've been using the beta on my Linux machines and never noticed anything that would suggest it was electron. No performance issues, weird UI, etc. I actually prefer it to the MacOS/Windows native clients.

Thanks so much for the kind words! We've worked very hard to deliver an experience on Linux that exceeds expectations. - Ben, 1Password

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…

1Password in Firefox unlocking the desktop app caught my eye. I'm on Mac and have to unlock 1Password in Firefox completely separately from the desktop Mac app.

I noticed this as well and if I am honest it is a tiny bit annoying when the app is open in another workspace it pulls me to it instead of pulling the app to the current firefox instance. This forces me to bounce back to whichever workspace the firefox was on. Not a huge issue though.

Bitwarden https://bitwarden.com/ Has clients for all platforms, open source, self hosting or free plans and saas. Waited long time for 1password for linux and switched last year to bitwarden. Family Account for 6 Users ($40 per year)

Moving from 1Password to Bitwarden was the best thing I did.

Bitwarden enabled me to use it with Linux, Mac, Windows, Web, etc. _years_ before 1Password decided to join the party.

And there's no subscription to speak of - just a premium "extra features you may or may not want" yearly payment, which works out _much_ cheaper.

Finally - all my passwords belong to me. Self hosted server means that I keep control, not some random cloud.

Sidenote: 1password has no way of knowing if I am materially affected by a site breach, and its notifications about a site being breached annoy me

Bitwarden is awesome. It's my current password manager after I left 1P.

I spent hundreds into 1P before the subscription model, as their apps were expensive and got them on multiple OS and for family members.

Then Dropbox decided (rightfully) that you shouldn't use your public folder to host websites, and 1P told their customers to either get a subscription or lose the online vault which is a critical feature of any password manager. They didn't even have the decency to offer a free year of the subscription to their current paying customers.

It would have cost 1P pennies to just host the vaults on S3, but they decided to force their customers to switch to the subscription model if they wanted to have a feature they had already paid for and 1P had been advertising for years.

I will never give a single cent to 1P again.

Bitwarden is awesome, and super easy to self host with Docker. Heck, you could get a $5/mo DO droplet and host bitwarden_rs along with a static site or a bunch of other things! I wouldn’t suggest this to people who are unfamiliar with hosting, Linux, docker, and how to make backups, so the self hosting is admittedly limited in appeal, but even their SaaS offering seems like a great deal!

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?

How does calling 'native integration features' make it 'native'?.

If the whole app is running in a 'browser' (which is exactly what Electron apps do) it is not a native app. 1Password 7 on my Mac is a native app.

> What are you looking for in non electron apps that is missing in this version of app?

In general. That fact that I don't need to upgrade the RAM of my computer to run multiple apps at the same time. I can do that with native apps perfectly but not with downloading and using tons of Electron apps. Has to be close one app and open another or else the computer grinds to a halt.

Adding one more Electron app to the mix (Regardless of using 'Rust') makes it a step closer to running my computer to the ground.

Since 1Password for Linux appears to be backed by Electron, perhaps it’s a sign that other platforms’ native clients will be replaced by an Electron-based client to get these new features.

6 years old and already having to navigate software, passwords, privacy. I am mildly shocked, and saddened. Or am I just behind the times?
