I stopped using SSH keys to authenticate against GitHub years ago and switched to HTTPS authentication. It's super convenient to set up with the GitHub CLI: https://cli.github.com/manual/ Is there any advantage of using SSH keys to authenticate against GitHub?
A huge problematic deficiency of 1Password is that it lacks literal multi-line text field types. The items in its database let you define custom fields for them, but there is no literal multi line text field. There's a "File" type, but you can't simply define fields with multi-line text values. However, every item has exactly one built-in "notes" field, but that's actually styled markdown text. And you only get one.…
Could you share a little bit about what you'd want to use this for? (I'm part of the 1Password design team)

I seriously don't understand making blanket statements like this All this fearmongering made me properly look at and note the memory usage of the native windows app and then the electron app after I upgraded. The new app uses a whopping 50MB more when the desktop app is open and uses 10MB less when it's not People keep ranting and raving about this with no context and zero research. I'm sick of this especially on HN
I don't have strong feelings about Electron, but 50MB more memory for the same functionality does seem like a lot. If every app I have open on my machine suddenly used 50MB more memory, it would be a noticeable hit.

1Password cloud product is kinda expensive. $19.99 per month. I didn't see a free option for personal use. Is there a way I could use this on my devices with my own cloud setup (eg. dropbox/google drive/ etc.,)?
Did you mistype $2.99? Because it's $2.99 for one person. The $19.99 is for ten team members using the business product. A family of 5 gets it for $5 per month.

We added spellcheck and text transformations options recently. Our team contributed a few patches to Electron to enable better macOS integration. For example: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/32024 I believe the UX performance in 1Password 8 is better than any other app we built in the past: https://twitter.com/mitchchn/status/1491253916004147203?s=20 Would love to learn more about the standard shortcuts tha…
Not looking for a fight here, but it seems like there is a disconnect between 1Password/AgileBits praising version 8 while also trying to bury the fact that it is an Electron app. It seems like you are proud of what you are building (and that's awesome), but the Releases page for beta [1] doesn't contain the word Electron. 1: https://releases.1password.com/mac/beta/
There are many reasons for not specifying what framework an app is built in, the most obvious of which is that the general public both has no clue what Electron is nor a desire to find out.
Just because something isn't listed doesn't mean it's "buried". Like the other commenter said, you don't routinely see users of other frameworks and languages put it front and center, why should that expectation change with Electron?

From my own experience with Electron apps and 1Password beta a few months ago, putting resource usage aside (even if we should not): OS-native spell checking is missing. Lack of OS standard shortcuts. Everything is a single window. UX performance: lots of things has just a little bit longer.

Will you add support for increased contrast again? (it was removed in v8, and was one of the many regressions that made me effectively give up on 1Password)

> The data that 1Password stores on their end is encrypted with your personal passphrase. For now. What happens when they eat enough of the market and displace enough other tools that the government says "Ok, now MitM the encryption." All they would need to do is push an update and re-encrypt the first time you unlock it. Now, this has always been true, but it's not on your servers and source repos yet, right now it'…

Why jump to "trying to bury" if you're not looking for a fight?

I would say in the past 2-3 years it has slowly become an absolute nightmare. I do not recommend it to anyone anymore. They have somehow screwed up the very basic functionality of filling in passwords on any browser I try. They continue to shift features around, break existing workflows, and even the basic tasks I rely on dozens of times a day seems to change with any significant release.
1Password got famous for building a great core product. It managed my logins I stored myself and autofilled them wherever I needed. It was clean and simple. Now they are so focused on growth and Product features like this that they have completely lost their way. As of this week I can no longer right click on a webpage and work with 1pass to find something. If the webpage attached to the original 'save login' prompt is not the one you are on - the auto popup underneath the login field has nothing to show and I cannot manually find and enter it. I have to go to the Desktop app, search, find, and copy. My team regularly wastes minutes on this each day.
Our company reevaluates platforms every couple years, in the next 12-24 months I will strongly advocate we find an alternative.

While I fully agree with your issues, and have experienced them too, (although comparing v8 on Linux to v7 on Mac – I don't use 1Password on Windows), those are just UI/integration issues. I don't think they're because of electron, but rather because the remake of the UI is poor. FWIW, my main gripe is having to unlock each vault separately, as opposed to a single unlock as used to be the case on Mac / iPhone.
> those are just UI/integration issues. I don't think they're because of electron Electron makes integration harder.
