They are just not managed well enough for me to trust my most valuable data to any cloud provider's storage, yours included.
1password desktop app password#
It's not that I wouldn't pay a subscription fee to use it (not a fan though), but I decided a while ago that I will not store my password database on anyone's cloud, no matter who's it is. I will continue using 1Password 7 as long as I can but will not be upgrading to the subscription model.
Well 1Password, it was fun while it lasted. IMO, it's worth the upgrade, especially if you also use 1Password on Windows (yes, it's a little slow and flaky, but the old extension was flaky in the same way on every launch, not just unlock). There were a few bugs I ran into with the 2.0.0 release, but, apart from the unlock issues on Windows, those have mostly been ironed out. As of 2.0 and later, it shares its unlock state with the desktop application (and pops up 1Password Mini to actually do the unlock, so you get Touch ID/Windows Hello/whatever unlock), so there was no real reason to keep the old extension around, especially given that it's pretty much abandoned.Īdvantages: same UI on Mac and Windows, less flaky on Windows once unlocked, inline password dropdown (like Safari), generally behaves better for multi-page login flowsĭownsides: unlock's flaky on Windows (the old extension behaved similarly here it's just that the 1Password Mini unlock dialog can be slow to appear and will occasionally time out the new extension- which means it loses sync with the desktop app and presents its own password prompt), password save flow's a little different and has tripped me up a few times. I switched to the new (formerly known as 1Password X) extension about a month or so ago. And the interface in general is not as good (or maybe just different, because I'm so used to 1Password's layout, and this is just my very human "burn it with fire!" reaction to change and anything different ). I considered cancelling my 1Password subscription in favour of Bitwarden, but decided against it because it doesn't autofill as easily or seamlessly as 1Password. Bitwarden or some offshoot of it will always be free, because the server component is open source.
1password desktop app free#
1 rising competitor, especially with Lastpass all but eliminating their free tier.
I guess a side question is how many people have moved from 1Password to Bitwarden? That seems to be the No.
1password desktop app license#
I think it might have been the reason that I decided to switch from perpetual license to subscription, in fact, IIRC. I started using 1PasswordX exclusively pretty much as soon as I signed up for a subscription. This question obviously only applies to people who use the subscription version, and not the standalone version. Curious who using is the native app along with the companion browser extension, and not the 1PasswordX browser extension, and why.
