Re: 1Password for Mac Moving to Electron
#2Currently 1Password's UX is just awful.
- On macOS, half the time auto fill doesn't work. Saving a password is very inconsistent.
- When you auto generate a password, the least resistance UI workflow is to first save and fill it - but then when you create the account it is saved again, making it a duplicate.
- The "move to trash" button is obscurely hidden somehow (used to be much better).
- And don't get me started on the Windows client - on my fast gaming PC it takes forever just to unlock the vault.
I've cancelled my subscription and won't renew once it runs out.

#3Like I commented the other day, they are losing me as a customer because of that - and because of "improving" the vault format so that it no longer syncs with iOS via iCloud.
This is going to cause all sorts of grief when we are forced to upgrade the iOS app to align with 8 and lose the ability to sync via that. I wouldn't mind paying for a Family license if I didn't have to use their sync service - I just don't trust it (marketing-wise, reliability-wise and security-wise, since it's designed purely as a retention factor) and would vastly prefer sticking to pure iCloud syncing.

Highly recommend trying BitWarden! I'm a paying user of it myself. It also has export of data and full self-hosted options as well. The browser plugins work amazingly well. The phone app is...i would say 75-80%. I've had trouble sometimes getting it to popup the "auto-fill" but otherwise it works very slick (supporting biometric unlock too).

#5The most disturbing part about this is that their support team has been misleading people on Twitter all morning, not truthfully answering straightforward questions about whether the app is Electron:

#8>This is the kind of shit I knew was going to happen when they raised money and entered the VC rat race years ago. Things we original users loved, like great apps, would be less of a priority.
At least they weren't "joining" Google or Microsoft.

It's like talking to an estate agent (realtor in the US).

I'm curious to see if they have finally killed off standalone.
I've been a 1Password user for years but have staunchly resisted going to their subscription model because I want my data local. It's infuriating that 1Password has steadily downplayed standalone versions to the point where it's almost impossible to find.
