#53Anyone have any insight on how a company like this would even use $620m?
Today 1password is largely a product for tech people. Nobody around me outside tech circles is using a password manager, at all. They have the whole world to conquer! I can envision them (sadly) bought by a larger actor in a few years, at a huge valuation.
Everyone else (ie: non-HN-sapiens) is using the built-in password manager in the dominant browser (Chrome).

#54Has anyone migrated easily between password managers? Manually entering my (hundreds?) of unique logins/passcodes would be quite a chore.
When I went from lastpass to bitwarden I could simply export all my passwords to a json file and import them to bitwarden. I think it took like five minutes or something like that.

#55They will probably go Dropbox route. Dropbox used to be an excellent file sync cloud service with a robust support on many platforms. They did just one thing and did it well. Now Dropbox is positioning themselves as business-team-collaboration-streamlining-platform for everything whose software is balancing between poorly programmed malware and useless enterprise bloatware.

#56I think if they use this for R&D more into security, I wouldn't mind. It will be better for consumer overall.
Password manager is still hard to use for the elderlies and technically non savvy people.

Given how many iOS users are out there I don’t think that’s accurate, and I’m pretty sure Android has that feature too.
You’ll be surprised how many people don’t use a traditional computer anymore for most of their “computer time”.
And those who do still use a ‘PC’ probably mainly use Chrome or any other browser with a password manager.
The reality is that for most uses a dedicated PM is simply isn’t necessary.

#59I will still recommend 1Password over Bitwarden to non-tech people because their whole UX journey is so well crafted that even my parents can understand it on their own.
The valuation is most likely based on that and the potential growth in that market.
I use and pay for Bitwarden but even I always get lost in the clunky UI and get frustrated by basic tasks (to a point I am considering switching). And it only gets worse when you have multiple teams and all the secrets are mixed up.

#60Seems like a lot of people are missing the piece as to probably why they need the money (and where they're pointing the company in the future). Future of 1Password: https://www.future.1password.com/
