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.

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.
Personally I prefer building GUIs in a scripting language like JavaScript over a compiled language like C and C++, GUIs changes a lot and needs to be tweaked in another way than system code does, so it is understandable to pick Electron, even though I loath the result. The Qt approach with QML + JavaScript with a C++ backend worked in that regard quite well, expose low level system calls from C++ and call it from Jav…
Perhaps rather than "bindings" you're thinking something like GTK and Qt's JavaScript integrations (embedded scripting languages vs bindings)? These are bummers in that they use some home-grown JS interpreter implementations which don't implement any standard version of JS (or at least not a very recent standard) and it's very confusing what is and isn't supported, and IIRC the docs aren't great here either.
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…

Is this a subscription only feature?
>> "We're no longer advertising standalone licenses" Does that mean "We're no longer offering standalone licenses"?
> Membership [aka subscription-based] is the way forward with 1Password.
It's really disappointing that their communication is so transparently evasive on this point.

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'm afraid Dashlane fits all of those requirements. Hands down. Then Bitwarden comes second.

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
"Your Email was found in the data dump from the FooBarBaz.NET hack!"
Okay, which site was this? Is there a password I'm supposed to change? Was it actually a password I stopped using 5 years ago, but is still floating out there somewhere?
None of these questions are ever answered in a way that's actionable, so these notices get effectively ignored.
(FWIW, back when I worked at a certain big company and they provided this service to employees, the data dumps actually did contain enough useful info to answer the questions some of the time. But the services available to the general public, even if you pay for them, are damn near useless.)

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.
If you'd like to play with this now be sure to install the beta of the Desktop app as well as the beta of the browser extension.

I wonder if Qt developers are that hard to find.
How many widely used Qt\GTK apps can you name if we are talking about general market and not just linux tools build by developers for developers? I can name Krita and that's about it. So... yeah, I guess finding a professional skilled in Qt or GTK might be problem. And honestly - why bother?
Have used 1Password before they had a client on linux and I have to say: I'm very relived now that I can now authenticate with my system keyring and not by entering my master password into a browser extension. (also much more convenient, can even use my fingerprint reader, if I wanted. On Linux!) (should be a browser feature)
Thanks for the kind words! Glad to hear it is working out. We have beta support for mutual unlock of the Linux app and browser extension so you can unlock in the browser using your fingerprint.

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 som…
