I actually don't have a problem with this, but I do have a problem with press releases that are sprayed with emojis. It's incredibly unprofessional and gives a real amateur flavor to the whole thing, which for security software is really offputting.

Maybe ask yourself "Why?". It is a much more fun, not suit and tie kind of announcement.

This is also a consumer product, not enterprise.

To be pedantic, it looks like it's actually an official reply on a community forum, not a press release. Also, thinking that the use of emoji reflects the software quality is a mistake in our current culture.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Looks like a forum post to me not a press release?

It's obviously more than that, with titled paragraphs and embedded images, this is a prepared statement pasted into a forum.

That's been their M.O. for years. I get their emails, and they are similar.

I'm glad I've been using Bitwarden anyway, I guess, but to me, this is totally unacceptable for security-critical software. You absolutely need to make it possible to self-host. If you're content to only ever be available to low-information, low-effort individual consumers, fine, I guess that's a market, but you've locked yourself out of ever being able to sell to high-security organizations that can't use public cloud services.

Maybe it's done.

1Password used to be native on the Mac, and now it's an Electron app. I'm not going to be using 1Password for this reason, and I encourage you to do the same. Subscription business models and non-native apps are hallmarks of rot by VCs. Dump them!

How does one check if an app running on a mac is native or electron?

If it looks identical to the web app and consumes half a gig of RAM, it's probably electron.

I haven't had a single bad experience with Bitwarden. I even pay for it now and still run it locally just to support them. Highly recommended if you don't want to be forced into 1Password's service.

+1 for Bitwarden

I used to use Enpass and never had an issue but it's not open-source and you have to pay for Mobile client.

I know what 1Password is but haven't used it. Are there advantages of using it over Apple's built in keychain? Would appreciate if someone who has used/uses 1Password could comment on this.

Not tied to Apple.

I don't think Keychain (up to but not including iOS 15 beta) supports OTP.

On macOS, not much other than Safari seems to use it, I think?
