I'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…

Ever since Apple added password management to Safari it’s been clear that 1Password was going to get Sherlocked, the switch to enterprise mashes perfect sense from a corporate perspective. Chrome and Firefox offer the same features, so now every browser is competing too. I’m finding most of the friction with 1Password I run into is actually Apple competing for autofill in Safari creating two completely different UIs…

I don't have a problem with the subscriptions. I've tried out a number of options over the years, including KeePass, LastPass, 1Password, and most recently Bitwarden. KeePass was a great bit of software but managing the vault syncing myself and having to wait for (and trust) the third-party Firefox extension to update was tiresome. For about a buck a month, LP was a pretty good deal and handled all of that overhead f…

I use BitWarden and I prefer having the open source and self hosted options for using BitWarden. 1Password does not have those. Despite that, I've been strongly advocating for it at work because it easily has the most polished and refined UI/UX of all the managers I've tried.

I don't think Apple has built this maliciously for this purpose, but for normal users this will be a strong motivator vendor lock-in.

That's an interesting take because I can see how this reduces lock-in: 1. It's now easier to access passwords on the mac because you no longer are forced to use Safari to view passwords, nor have to sort through the technical entries/certificates in Keychain Access. 2. The app surfaces a prominently positioned button for one-click sharing and exporting of passkeys/passwords, whereas existing methods significantly lac…

I never used 1Pass, I'd suggest ppl to make their own mental template for passwords that can be applied to different sites instead.

I have 627 items in my 1P vault. That won't work.

What’s the problem with it exactly? I’m using it on iPad, macOS, iOS and windows 10 and 11. Seems per much the same as it’s always been. I’ve got the family using it too. Just curious what issues other people are experiencing.

It's very much a "death by a thousand cuts" situation - I'm not a fan of the removal of 1Password mini which was my primary interaction with 1Password, especially for the common workflow of password generation/account lookup. It seems their focus is to drive this into the browser extension but that doesn't cover all of my use cases - I very often need to generate a login password _outside_ the context of a browser an…
