What browser/sites are you having issues with? I've only been using 1Password since the Lastpass changes last year or 2 (I forget) but havent run into a site I can't autofil. I actually found it works in places Lastpass used to let me down such as CapitalOne

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.…

As one datapoint: I’ve used 1P for 11+ years, have over 1200 items in it, and I’ve literally never lamented the lack of multiline fields.

Similar here. I've never even considered it something I might want

Is it the same URL as what was saved in the login? If not, then this is intended behaviour to stop phishing attacks and has saved my butt several times. If the autofill doesn't work, either the website has changed the base URL, I've misconfigured it, or it is a phishing site

Use the browser extension?

I'm not sure what issues you're having. Personally not only has the product improved every year, trying other password managers makes me realise what a hard problem autofilling is and how little I have to think about it with 1P. The new desktop app has some issues though and some missing features though it's pretty snappy

Could you share a little bit about what you'd want to use this for? (I'm part of the 1Password design team)

Personally, mainly for OTP recovery codes.

I’ll add a “me too” comment as well as add that I’d expect to be able to have what is essentially a multi line password field where the contents are obscured.

Or a special feature to transform a set of OTP recovery codes into separate password fields so I can easily copy just one and then remove it without having to edit a multiline field to remove the one I just used.

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.

Why? You don't have to use Electron for everything, you can integrate using whatever language you want and some RPC, like Keybase did.

I've been a huge fan of 1Password for almost ten years now, recommending it to friends and family, but like some of the comments mentioned it feels like the product is trying to move upmarket while dropping support for core features.

I've bought their license a couple times as the versions are updated, but they no longer support licenses and only monthly subscriptions. Fine.. I'm happy to pay that to get a great product, but as I was installing it on my new laptop they prompted me to move from my self-managed cloud sync to their hosted password management saying the cloud-sync will no longer be supported. I simply don't want to use the hosted solution, I'm not comfortable with the trust implied.

I imagine they're trying to cut down on the features that allowed someone to use it without paying a membership, but then why not just include cloud-sync in your paid features? Why remove a such a core feature that allows users to use your security product much more trustlessly?

Agreed, the Chrome browser extension and the Safari inline menu are garbage. Fortunately the classic extension is still available and still works great for me, as well as Safari with the inline menu option disabled. Same for the iOS extension, garbage. But luckily the classic password autofill on iOS still does work great.

To both your points - a great example is right here on HN. If I right click and go to 1pass, I no longer can open any mini window. I instead am given the option of Lock, Save Login, Help, or Hide on this page. Completely breaks my 5+ years of muscle memory to right click on a field and find what I need.

Now if I open the browser extension in the top right, my Favorites are not my favorites...they're the favorites of my team and one of my shared vaults. My Suggestions tab is empty. And even better, when I search "ycombinator" or "hacker" or "hn" nothing comes up. "No results found in All Vaults" and if I click search everywhere I get "No results found"

Now when I go over to the Desktop app, I search any one of the above and I immediately find my credentials for HN. It's stupid simple just like it used to be in the browser.

Chrome for work, Firefox for personal. Both macOS and Windows 10. I am in contact with 1pass on Twitter, followed their recommendation to turn off the legacy extensions Desktop App Required and it is still broken.

I'm just as frustrated, but given how convoluted and complicated web site authentication has become, I've blamed the web sites, not 1Password. They can't possibly be expected to handle every scenario that every major internet site comes up with, and festoons with trackers and ads and javascript malfeasance and second-factor redirects. I guess if you're right, and 1Password is, in fact, to blame for this mess, then you'll find a great alternative. I just hope you post it back here when you do.
