Does webauthn have a protocol for username / password retrieval ? It would be nice to have a usb security token that is backward compatible with username + password login.

#532My brother convinced me to try a 1Password family account, since it would be cheaper. Ever since, the Chrome plugin takes forever to login. Sometimes up to 5-6 seconds. And it really annoys me that they have so many resources and money, and it's still this expensive for a very very basic application, and slow to boot. I tried out passwords, and combined with Safari, it's an absolute godsend compared to 1Password. Tha…
Check out the StopTheMadness extension. It offers a large number of features, one of which is automatically fast-forwarding YouTube ads

#533The article is light on details… what does this do that the current Passwords “app” (setting?) does not?

Does it blank all the fake videos in your YouTube home page? There used to be ads separate. Then they started putting one in the upper left corner that pretended to be a real video, with some clickbait title. Now (today?) they have them sprinkled all over, like maybe 15% of all the thumbnails are now ads.
I'm leaving that platform. They've taken shittification to new heights.

#535It's good to see that 1Password is staying several steps ahead here to avoid being "Sherlocked" by Apple. The new SSH key manager feature is an example of something Apple's unlikely to address for years, if ever. https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/manage-keys/
I feel like the people who throw out “Sherlocking” are the same ones who also whine whenever they have to install third-party software for whatever the OS doesn’t do out of the box.

How many people use Mac and Windows at the same time? There are some, but I bet most people do not use multiple OS. Usually, people who have a Mac have an iPhone and maybe an iPad. They are entirely in the Apple ecosystem because they see all the benefits when all those devices work seamlessly together.
Quite a few. Windows desktop/laptop + an iPhone/iPad is a super common combo.
Especially for gaming

My biggest worry about passwords by Apple is that I have even less pull when they screw it up. Not that I have a lot of input in 1Password, of course, but I bet if I get loud enough on HN for long enough, I could get the attention of the CEO. Try that with Apple. As a long time user (sufferer) of Screen Time, I am acutely aware of how badly Apple can screw up software, and how long they can let it go unfixed. Tim Coo…
Might be outweighed by the bigger effects when they do screw something up. Like if their passwords mess up for amazon.com, some big airline, Facebook, etc... the noise will get pretty loud pretty quick.
I know that some people were able to successfully get through to a human/support at Google via HN.
I don't remember seeing those for Apple. Are there examples of anyone failing to get meaningful help from official support but were able to find a successful resolution through HN ?

I've used Bitwarden for a while now and it has been so better than LastPass or 1Password ever was for me. I never understood the 1Password hype, it was easily the worst experience of any password manager I tried.
I miss lastpass auto login. And i wish bitwarden had a merge for duplicate entries. Otherwise, bw is good. I also wish i was able to utilize totp keys like i can with iCloud
I use TOTP keys in bitwarden all the time. Along with passkeys that has recently been added.

#539I've been an avid 1Password user for over 10 years, but since they gone full-throttle targeting the enterprise market, I'm getting more and more annoyed. It's increasingly buggy (right now, it thinks I haven't migrated from 1p7 which causes annoying interstitials that I can't close. Over a month and no fix yet.). They killed standalone vaults. Obvious feature requests (e.g archive an entire vault) sit there for years…
I'm only still on it because of team use, but if Apple's thing supports teams I'm gonna be so happy to get rid of it. I've been using it for nearly 20 years and it's been going down hill fast for the last 5, but 1Password 8 is an absolute clown car. It hijacks your passkey logins meaning that authenticating with Tailscale for me has gone from a single touch of the TouchID button on my Mac, to 1) click button that say…
its an apple tool. It will work on Apple products first, and then windows, but with a poorer experience. it may work on chrome, just for 'enterprise' but pretty sure firefox, linux, and android users are going to be ignored.

This is the bell curve meme. People just want the things that work for them, people that know what they are doing want things that work easily and know their way around a little better too. You're overblowing the harmfulness, I'm not even sure what the argument is. Prove to me you deserve to be called a "nerd."
GP’s smug superior attitude over non-technical people and general lack of perspective is enough nerd cred for me.
