1password is considering a self-hosted option to store vaults

Semi-related: this survey was announced alongside 1Password 8 for Windows early access. Apparently 1Password 8 for Windows uses Electron and there was some discussion about AgileBits wanting to move to the same architecture on all platforms.

Does anyone know if 1Password 8 on macOS will also be an Electron app? Their Linux Electron app is pretty good and definitely much better than having no 1Password at all. However, this would be a sad ending for what started out as a great, efficient, native Mac-only application.

I can understand why AgileBits would make this choice. For most users, Electron is probably not a big issue, if they'd notice at all. But as someone who loves native macOS apps, it just makes me sad.

When I was evaluating which password manager to use I instantly favoroud 1password, but not having the possibility to self host my data was non-negotiable for me.

I will definitely stay up to date whether this really comes or not.

I've been using the Bitwarden_RS, now Vaultwarden for a long time and love it. It's just the backend API implementation so you still use the official Bitwarden clients and extensions.

Bitwarden_rs and keypassxc are what dominate in this space at the moment, with bitwarden_rs being the self hosted option directly where keypass is local but usually combined with file synchronisation software like NextCloud. Both are pretty good and get the job done without having to put passwords into another companies care.

I'm absolutely loving 1Password. The Kubernetes Operator is slick and painless. Syncs with 1Password and stuffs the passwords in standard Kubernetes Secrets, meaning anyone can understand what's going on versus something like say Vault.

I have heard that Linux was the start, Windows is the next one to get the Electron treatment, and Mac is next.
