Oh good it's another Electron app and since there are only about 50 random dependencies mentioned in the package.json maintained by about 25 random people, exfiltration of all your passwords is only one of those being compromised away at any given point. And that is just the direct dependencies, I don't even want to look at the tree of it all.

If you trust 1password with your passwords, really you are also trusting whoever wrote the braces library for superfast brace expansion.

Unpopular opinion: using a password manager as a service is as bad as password reuse: all your passwords behind a single password.

In order to log in, you need a (really long) secret key + a strong password, that should not be used anywhere else. That is pretty secure.

The secret key can be kept save, because it is only required once for each device, when you log in the first time.

I want to use KeePassX/KeePassXC but haven't really found any iPhone clients with Dropbox syncing + Face ID unlock. So still with 1Password even though I'm not a big fan of it anymore. It works, so there is that.
