I'm a big fan of 1Password. I've been paying for it for years. A few years ago I got my partner setup in a few minutes and now they have strong passwords everywhere. Its got great features for sharing vaults with other people so I've got password managers setup for the kids too. My partner and I both have personal vaults, we have a shared vault for financial stuff, and a shared vault for our media accounts (that we s…

We at saas pass authenticator and password manager solved the linux support by building a comprehensive browser extension application that does not require a desktop app at all. It is a different approach eliminating the need for a local client. All the major browsers on Linux are supported including chromium. (helped with design of the browser extension)

Sure, but a browser extension cannot handle anything outside the browser. Which for many is fine, but there are still plenty of individuals who need that outside the of the browser.

Yes, it is yet another Electron app. https://github.com/1password/electron-hardener

I'm just surprised people call Electron apps "native" now.

I think it's just marketing. The devs where I work started promoting everything that isn't a web page as "native", and web pages that don't have external dependencies as "static", even though they are still dynamic apps loaded with javascript.

It is sad, running Firefox as a browser, Slack, Teams and 1password as 3 more browsers... Oh I forgot Postman! What are other "apps" common among developers built on the Electron?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yup. Many people including myself are waiting for a viable Electron alternative to emerge, but until then Electron is leagues ahead of the rest. React Native is a missed opportunity for true cross-platform UI, but they chose not to support Linux. I'm keeping an eye on Tauri [1]. [1] https://tauri.studio/en/

What about Flutter, which Canonical has put its full weight behind?

Oh, I hadn't heard the news about Canonical, that's neat! Last I checked desktop support for Flutter was unstable and I got the impression from the docs that mobile is the main priority. Maybe it's worth another look.

What a scam. All this hype and it is another Electron app. Windows and Mac versions are native and yet Linux gets a version that uses 'Electron'. Yuck. Fortunately, to give us the illusion that it is 'fast' they need to mention that it uses 'Rust'. And?

Hi rvz! Are you having performance issues with 1Password for Linux? I understand some folks are just anti-Electron based on what other vendors are putting out there, but the app has been quite responsive for me. Please feel free to reach out to us at support+linux@1password.com if you're experiencing any sort of sluggishness and we'll be happy to help. Thanks! - Ben, 1Password

I've had the beta installed a long time but it stopped working a week or two ago. Perhaps I need to reinstall or something now that the main version is live? EDIT: Nope, still can't login. Bleh.

Do you have any 2FA setup? My work uses Duo 2FA with 1Password and I had to kick my Duo account into bypass mode to log in. I opened a support ticket with 1Password and they said it is a known issue with Duo + 1Password.

There is no 'native' GUI in Linux. Skia rendering you UI is not any less native than GTK's or Qt's rendering engine doing so.

And, for people who cares like me, they are based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I like to support an excellent Canadian product!
