Just a warning for people who don't know the parent is referring to the extension formerly called 1Password X (now just 1Password in the browser because AgileBits wants you to use that one) which puts ALL OF YOUR PASSWORDS into your browser's memory.

This is an interesting concern, and you've pasted this identical comment at least three times in this thread. Could you elaborate or link to somewhere that explains this in detail? This comment on its own isn't very helpful.

This comment by me was wrong, sorry everyone. They’re NOT doing stupid crazy things.

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.

Many thanks, it worked.

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. (Disclosure: I work at 1Passwo…

Yes, after applying the solution provided by yabones everything seems to work. Thanks anyhow :)

I have the same problem. It's quite frustrating.

The suggestion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27195167 worked for me.

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…

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

Malware bots on the Internet don't care how old you are. If the kids are on there (all of their friends already play Roblox and talk about it incessantly) then they need to have the same level of password security and care with personal data than an adult does.

The last thing a 6 year old needs is some asshole opening a dozen credit cards in their name and maxing them out on cash advances to buy Bitcoin.

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…

I don't think it's anything to do with toolkits, and everything to do with packaging and ABI issues. You can't distribute a commercial, binary app for 'Linux' easily unless you statically link everything (which you cannot do with Qt without breaking the license) and compile on something ancient. Even using something like Qt, writing a C++ GUI app for the 3 major platforms (macOS, Windows and Linux) is about 10x more…

> Even using something like Qt, writing a C++ GUI app for the 3 major platforms (macOS, Windows and Linux) is about 10x more work than getting something like Electron working and distributed.

In my case, I did most of my development for an embedded target, which meant my org shipped the entire OS and therefore we only had to worry about the packages we were shipping. Packaging wasn't much of a problem in that context, but it was still many times more effort than an Electron app--my issues tended to be related to tooling and language.

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)

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…

> online vault which is a critical feature of any password manager

I guess by "online" you mean access to your passwords using nothing but a web browser. I can see how that could be a requirement for certain users (e.g. employees permitted to make personal use of a work computer but not install any software) but disagree that that's a critical feature.

I used Dropbox to sync my 1Password vaults (including a shared vault with my spouse) from 2013 but never used the "trick" of publishing it through the public folder before Dropbox dropped that feature in 2017. I continued using Dropbox to sync vaults until last year when I upgraded to 1Password 7 and a family subscription.

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?

GUI toolkits suck on all platforms. It's just a hard problem and its a boring, loveless space to work in.

They are quite alright on Apple and Microsoft platforms.

Like OP, I’ve used 1P since the early 2010s. Its approachability (and the fact that I pay for it) finally convinced my family (SO/siblings/parents) to use a password manager. I love the native experience on iOS, and the full desktop version + browser extensions

I remember being frustrated by the Dropbox loss, and I’m still frustrated that they seem to push 1PasswordX over the native apps. Other than that I’ve only had 3 major gripes:

1) Lack of Linux support 2) Lack of good ssh key management 3) Lack of ability to self host

I’ve been eying BitWarden for awhile- How was your transition/migration to Bitwarden from 1P? How does the iOS integration compare to 1P? Do you self-host?

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…

Yup! In many ways Linux is leading the charge. Not just with these features but also for development as a whole. Here's the background story on how 1Password for Linux started and how it was built: https://dteare.medium.com/behind-the-scenes-of-1password-for... ++dave; 1Password Founder

What happened to accessibility on 1P for Mac? It's completely invisible to VoiceOver now.
