Same, just excellent software that I use 100+ times per day. Quality matters in what you use constantly.

100+ times a day? Explain yourself. I login/unlock my password manager maybe...a dozen times a week and that would be a high count when I'm doing "business" and logging in for financial things.

Not the OP, but I have a dotfile that aliases the 1Password CLI. I use that heavily every day.

I’m really disappointed by this. I’ve been a 1Password user for 18 years. Over the last several years, since they moved to Electron for the main app, things have gotten worse and worse. The browser extension doesn’t work half the time. In addition to being frustrating, that makes it a less secure system, as one of the benefits is that it only fills the password on the specified domain. A lack of reliability of the ex…

> In addition to being frustrating, that makes it a less secure system, as one of the benefits is that it only fills the password on the specified domain. A lack of reliability of the extension leaves people more vulnerable to phishing, since they have to copy/paste passwords out of the app.

The latest updates have it prompting me every time I auto fill to approve filing on the site.

I'm dumbstruck by this. I want you to reject it if it's not the right site, not ask me to verify the site by hand every time...

There is no reason for this increase except the fact that they know people are too lazy to migrate away. Most of the listed features don't make any sense as core value propositions (wtf is AI-powered item naming)

There is no reason for this increase except the fact that they know people are too lazy to migrate away. They're not wrong. I'm a geeky guy with a tech resume as long as your arm, and I'd really rather do something else beside research how to export 1PWD data to something else, then import to $TOOL_OF_CHOICE. I'm sure it's not all that hard, and maybe that's part of the problem: it's monkey work, not an interesting t…

You can export the vault data (one export per vault) in a format that is largely supported by other password software to import. It's annoying but not terrible.

Too bad they took VC funding and have to be a "global leader in identity security" instead of just making a damn good password manager. https://1password.com/press/2025/nov/1password-strengthens-l...

VC and PE money always there ruining the good things. Taking money from the devil.

Hey, CEO and Co-Founder of heylogin here. Feel free to try out heylogin and let me what you think of it. I know we don't have feature parity with 1pw, but we try to innovate on the core user experience of logging into websites first. Our typical users are non-IT people, but more and more features are now implemented to also cater IT pros.

Thanks for popping by! Feature parity with 1Password would actually count against you, it's so bloated with stuff only huge enterprises need now, and all its best features have been removed over the last few years. I checked our 1Password billing and it seems we're paid up until Dec 2027, so if you've got good passkey support by then you may well have a new customer.

passkey support is currently in internal beta, but will be released soon. what kind of features have been removed from 1pw that you considered important?

1Password also thinks site1.example.com and site2.example.com are the same.

it's possible to make entries autofill only for the specific subdomain. But otherwise, you're correct.

It's possible to make them autofill, yes, but it's the dialog that asks you if you want to update the password stored for example.com after you autofill, that's the gotcha. That one will set the password for every *.example.com password you have stored, to the one you just used.

edit: Ooops, just realised you were responding about 1Password, sorry.

Oh man, I don't think that essay would fit in a HN comment. The biggest one for me though was keyboard operation - I have fine motor control problems so try to use the trackpad as little as possible. 1Password used to have two different global keyboard shortcuts, one for the regular autofill interface and another that would pop up a mini version of 1Password that was fully keyboard navigable and could do almost everything the full 1Password app could do. I could hit Cmd+Opt+\ from anywhere and then entirely through keyboard interactions do almost anything I needed to do. This has been replaced by one global keyboard shortcut that only works if your focussed app is a browser with a login screen on it, and even then it often needs hitting multiple times in order for the interface to appear, and sometimes never appears at all until you finally give up and launch the 1Password app, and then magically you get the 1Password app with the 1Password mini interface over the top of it. It's one of the most frustrating experiences imaginable when it used to be such a useful thing.

Thanks, that's interesting. We don't see all the smaller changes our competitors are doing. With heylogin, you could try our Quick Access feature. It pops up with a global shortcut and is fully keyboard navigable. Let me know if something is missing there.
