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.

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.

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!

Well they’ve released a Linux app built in Rust, so maybe there’s hope?

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.

I use Bitwarden for shared passwords with my family (using an Organisation).

For my personal passwords, I prefer keeping a local KeePass vault (I access over a local network drive, VPN in elsewhere).

I totally agree that primitives are some of the least important parts of choosing password managers, but what I like about KeePass is that you can use Argon2 as the password derivation function and specify your hardness factors. Because my laptop and desktop have a strong-enough CPU and I don't mind waiting 20-or-so seconds before the first unlock, I can set quite high values for this.

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