This looks interesting. I am curious where the main use cases would lie for this CLI vs. the official GUI?

So I guess it is useful for staying in context when needing a password at the command line.

For those interested in 1password on other platforms, I also created a Chrome extension a while ago, primarily so I could use my 1password DB on Linux: https://github.com/robbiev/multipass-chrome

I don't make use of the project posted here though, I wrote my own 1password lib in Go. The extension uses Chrome's native messaging to talk to the native Go binary, so unlike some other projects this does not run a local HTTP server or something like that.

Why would anyone trust 1password or any other closed source password manager at all?

It's a little excessive to say that closed source means it can't possibly be secure or trustworthy. It implies open source is a silver bullet for security, which just isn't true.

I use 1Password and love it. I can tell after using other products that they have put a tremendous attention to detail into it. It is really easy to use and thoughtful in its design compared to the alternatives.
