A competitor will come and take its place eventually; that's what the market is there for.

But, of course, that's a ridiculous hypothetical not really grounded in reality. I had no idea what Electron was until I met Rob. I have personal projects I'm working on where it feels like all I have time for is just keeping up with security updates, Ubuntu versions, DB version upgrades. I'm in the same boat. This could not be farther from the truth. I previously thought that we were just having a difference of risk tolerance, but if you think some rando can _phish_ a TOTP secret, we are not even in the same universe of risk mitigation, For passive phishing (e.g. So either the password is sent to their servers anyway or a malicious actor could simply update the client to do so. Take a look at the items marked new in the changelog. If the servers go down you'll never lose access to anything. Works great. Is it that buggy from the get-go to need constant updates? Tldr: Will 1Password 8 be out anytime soon? > The current direction of travel being voluntary means you've just got a bad nose for building security. So they made their own sync service and hid the version that would do local-only files so that only the dedicated users who really want to do that would find it and use it. It comes down to what value it provides to me for what I need it to do, which is store and retrieve passwords for me, and sync via wlan. To suggest that their userbase wanted to voluntarily give up their paid-for software that was working just fine and swap it out for a subscription service just to get feature parity is silly. Agreed - software like this doesn't exist in a vacuum of frozen dependencies (at least not until Urbit takes over). I know the standalone version of 1Password 7 exists, but I tried to find the price yesterday and gave up after a few minutes of poking around.

I probably spend $500-1000 every year just upgrading a certain few software packages that charge for a new version every time a new macOS comes out, and I hate it. no issue. That's a fair point! We actually did build a native Mac app initially alongside the cross-platform Electron app, but we eventually decided that having two separate versions of the macOS app (one in Electron, one in SwiftUI) would cause a lot of needless development churn and hassle for both customers and our support team. Getting something hardened and reliable is a different story. Should I hold off my purchase till 1Password 8 comes out, considering 1Password 7 is ~2 years old? This is probably an edge case where the fields in the browser cannot be identified by their ids/classname. As you said, they made it clear that subscription was the way of the future and that anyone who didn't want a subscription product should look elsewhere, so we did. I've been holding off on the subscription transition because I would derive zero value from switching to subscription but I'd gain a monthly payment I didn't have before. Someone above outlined it nicely: If you let 1Password take care of encrypting the vault, and iCloud (for example) of storing the vault securely, then a malicious actor would have to compromise both products to get your secrets. Use it in Firefox every day and have no complaints. Or go back to DOS and plain text files. (Of course, not only had I moved on to other projects, but I had long sold the type of computer the shareware was created for!). When they say "you chose this", they're referring to the time when that was on their site and people overwhelmingly chose the subscription. It was up to the user to take care of syncing this local vault file between devices (although they did support iCloud syncing between apple devices natively. Shall I stay or shall I find another somution? Unfortunately the complexity of chrome (which electron is based on) is already comparable to some old OSs, we even have ChromeOS isn't it? I cant see how switching my perfectly fine, frequently updated native app for a memory hogging web browser wrapper is a win for me. NEW YORK (AP) A man has been arrested with the gun used in a shooting last month outside the Long Island home of Rep. Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for governor of New York, authorities said Tuesday.. Noah Green, 18, was arrested Monday in Shirley on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property, Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond . My knowledge of how it works is that it always stores your passwords in an encrypted blob that can only be decrypted with a combination of username, "master password", and vault password. 1Password has continually added new/better features year after year and the price is tiny compared to the value I get (and then subsequently provide to people in my 'family'). and gotten friends and family to do the same, but I think Im done when 7 stops working. Choose monthly or annual billing. They offered standalone licenses and subscriptions for an entire version's lifecycle and 97% (or something crazy high like that) of the people who downloaded went for the subscription. I think that you see open source projects that struggle along all of the time because their developers cannot afford to work on them enough. Kuechel, Rausch earn weekly honors. The only thing missing is browser access but even though I now have browser access to Bitwarden I think Ive used it like twice. Im not sure what happens with all of those, maybe transformed into secure note, but again with all of the attachments removed. once you have a monopoly you can do whatever you want, thus why everyone keeps talking about EEE.

That's your mum and dad and other very likely non-techie people. > there are no conditions under which only one factor could be compromised without also having the other factor leaked, > Man in the middle attack Instead, the import was better than perfect: a bunch of accounts that wouldn't autofill in lastpass magically started to autofill after being imported into bitwarden. 1Password X doesnt work on Safari due to Apples limitations, and Safari is my main browser due to its integration in the Apple ecosystem. Go for it, there's nothing stopping them. I have never even _heard_ of someone having their 1P master password compromised and the vault(s) exfiltrated (although I grant you it could be just because the NSA doesn't write blog posts about their pwn2own victories), It's my recollection AgileBits is also running (that is: currently) a CTF with a publicly exposed vault, so folks can test the resilience against attack for themselves. We're not the primary target audience for 1Password, we just happen to fit under the umbrella anyway. Of course they don't, because it's virtually impossible to find or even know that it exists unless someone passes you the link.

Currently doing just that, if any of my servers go down, i can still access all of my passwords on my desktop, on my laptop, on my tablet, on my phone or on my backup servers.

Brute force attack, (EDIT: Looks like between starting writing this and submitting it, you're no longer in the gray from downvotes!) Face ID unlock for Safari extension is back - I missed you!

Add a one-time password and then click the QR . How do I set a default/preferred vault for RETRIEVING Cant display passwords like before 1Password 8.

I too am a bit reluctant to Electron. We are not abandoning native app development. The password manager that's as beautiful and simple as it is secure. Fair enough! An extra factor of authentication. 1Password subscription billing is fair, flexible, and easy to understand: Get all the 1Password apps for free.

I even pay for it now and still run it locally just to support them. Anyway thanks for showing me KeePassXC, looks like something Ill be very interested in. I think bitwarden is much less cringey as a corporation if you're looking for an alternative.
