I have used 1pass for years. I think I bought my lifetime license sometime in 2014? I loved it and even advocated for our 2000+ company to adopt it back in 2018. I would say in the past 2-3 years it has slowly become an absolute nightmare. I do not recommend it to anyone anymore.

That shouldn't be a matter of opinion, yet it doesn't match my experience at all. 1Password 7's UI and workflow did not undergo a dramatic change in the past 2-3 years. Not even once.

It's not a security measure because the original comment spoke about how they couldn't even search for the login inside of the autofill icon. I've had that issue too and it's very frustrating. Yes, it makes sense not to show it by default, but to disable any sort of search functionality inside of their new autofill UI is annoying.

Edit: This was not an issue before 1-2 years ago when they pushed massive feature updates. It used to be Ctrl+\ or Cmd+\ to autofill and boom, the login was filled. But NOW they have decided to drop a "1Password X" browser extension that throws itself into every single login item on the web and constantly harasses the user any time they use keyboard shortcuts to navigate. Typing an email address and see your Firefox/Chrome/Safari autofill show up with a dropdown of emails to choose? You can't even use the arrow to go down and choose one; 1Password X will rear its ugly head the minute you hit the arrow down, and it'll either prompt you to autofill something or save what you just typed into 1P.

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

He already said. Private keys, certs, etc.

Private keys and certs are multi-line. Just tested the secure note and ssh key entry types.

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.…

I believe you can attach files, so that might be an option for keys/certs.

Attaching files is the worst functionality of 1password.

I put images of my health insurance card in 1pw.

do this. now, pretend you want to upload those image to a web portal that's asking for your insurance information. To pretend, just try and put the images of your insurance card into an email body to yourself.

See how many clicks it takes.

I can start searching for passwords by either

* invoking the "Cmd + \" shortcut

* clicking on the browser extension button

* clicking on the icon in the system menu bar

None of those introduce meaningful speed bumps.

Wow, I was thinking of leaving KeepassXC for 1password but that is very much a deal-breaker. The UI isn't as pretty or well-thought, of course, but at the very least there aren't as many limitations

Unfortunately for me it was the kind of a thing that I didn't notice until I'd actually paid for a license and started using it. Then I tried to put my ssh public and private keys in there, and hit the wall. It's such an obvious feature that would be so easy for them to implement, it made me feel like it must be possible and super-obvious to most people, but I was just too dumb to figure out how to do it. (No, pressi…

Use the SSH key entry type. Multi-line works and you can store both public and private.

How does it work with with `~/.ssh/config`? Mainly, say I have keys in the vault for many machines, if they all get added to the 1password ssh-agent sock, won't you get "Too Many Auth failures", unless there is a way to pair the key to a `Host`? Maybe `~/.ssh/config` can pair keys to a `Host` by fingerprint instead of file?

I use a Keybase encrypted git repo called secrets, it contains my ssh keys, config, pgpass and a few other files.

I use stow to install them on a computer when I'm setting one up.

Haven't run into any problems with this approach, my Keybase is protected with a Yubikey.

Personally, mainly for OTP recovery codes.

I use it for this as well. P.S: I'm not one to write "me too" comments, but there's no upvote count visibility for users. And since a designer working at 1p has eyes on the thread, it might make sense to add "me too" comments?

+1 as well. Not a lot of usage, but sometimes you want to add multiline notes (there’s a notes field, I know, every others field type can be added).

What's changing? It's been filling passwords for me just fine in browsers for years, if anything it's gotten better about it. The problems you cite with it not finding the right login happen with other managers too and they aren't as good about it.

Was it really necessary to have the rude and condescending attitude? While it served the point of illustrating the toxic behavior I took issue with of those who claim memory management is Fine(tm), I don't think it was warranted here. I only care about managing my memory because the consequences of running out of free memory are severe. Linux as shipped by mainstream distros is quite happy to start filling swap (with…

On each and every point your view is only true in very isolated and niche situations, while simultaneously begging the question that you’ve run out of memory in the first place. Linux is not good for desktop environments for exactly the reasons you outline here (and many more). It’s not Electron’s fault you’ve used the wrong tool for your desktop OS.

It's very antisocial to tell people they're using the wrong tools. In today's world, it's becoming no longer sustainable to respond to wasted resources by asking the world to purchase more resources (resulting in even more waste in the long term) to accommodate it. Conservation is becoming increasingly important.

Just because you haven't personally experienced this problem doesn't mean that many others have not. The experience of others is just as valuable as your personal experience, and to denigrate the experiences of others demonstrates a lack of empathy and understanding. Not everyone has an SSD, and not everyone has more than 8GB memory in their laptops. Many laptop manufacturers (including Apple) continue to sell lower-…

My point is that, in 2022, the overwhelming majority of people do have the necessary resources required to run Electron apps on their laptops and desktops. My view is backed up by the fact that people do exactly this, with great success. The complaint about memory is not reflective of the typical user experience.

The fact that multiple people here are telling you that they have experienced RAM shortages and swapping due to excessive consumption speaks for itself.
