This isn't quite a reason to jump ship for me yet, but I'll certainly be duplicating work to other services(which so far, I've found to be quite inferior).
Did you try 1Password (which works with Dropbox, Wifi sync, etc.)? Not affiliated with them, just a happy customer.
- quaunaut 11y agoI tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.
- ge0 11y agoVery happy user of 1password here, features, UX and overall ethos of Agilebits are to be commended
- zakelfassi 11y ago+1 for 1password. Best password management software out there.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi zakelfassi, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thank you so much for the endorsement. Way to make my day!
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi ge0, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for your kind words.
- cvburgess 11y agoSeconded, a really amazing UI and UX with security at the forefront. Not to mention the apps are updated often to take advantage of the latest iOS and OS X features (they support other platforms but I don't use those apps).
- jobu 11y agoIt's not clear what the "Pro Features" in-app purchase includes. Is this something that's required for true usability?
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi jobu, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. You do not need the iOS app's Pro Features for looking up or entering Logins. But you can read much more about what you do get for purchasing the Pro Features here: https://support.1password.com/guides/ios/pro-features.html https://support.1password.com/guides/ios/pro-features.html
- ishansharma 11y agoNo. I just bought 1Pass and it is perfectly usable without Pro features on mobile. The major one is just ability to use multiple vaults.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi cburgess, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thanks so much for the complements! Our designers and developers work really hard and it great to see their efforts being so well appreciated!
- brown9-2 11y agoI was a longtime LastPass user and switched to 1Password about 6 months ago and have been really impressed by it.
- tomkinstinch 11y agoI'm thinking of making the switch. Question for you and others who have migrated from LastPass to 1Password: Were there any sticking points? How did you go about moving over your password database?
- acrooks 11y agoI used to be a free user of LastPass and wanted a vault on-the-go. With LastPass the only option was an annual subscription, for an app that I didn't find particularly impressive. Switching to 1Password was extremely easy. It offered simple instructions on how to import from LastPass and the pricing model (pay once for the piece of software) was a lot more compelling to me. As an added bonus, the app is super well developed and designed. It _just_ works, and works the way you expect it to. 100% satisfied.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi acrooks, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. I'm so glad to hear that the transition was and easy one and that you are so satisfied with our product! I will certainly share your kind words with our designers and developers.

- suhailpatel 11y agoEven on Android 1Password feels like a first class citizen (I think some third party app integration is lacking but i'm used to going back and forth to copy passwords). I am very happy with what it provides.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi suhailpatel, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. I don't know what version of Android you are on, but if you are running Android 4.0 or higher, you can use our snazzy Filling feature so you don't have to copy and paste Logins anymore. You will find more details here: https://support.1password.com/guides/android/filling.html https://support.1password.com/guides/android/filling.html
- jwr 11y agoBeen using it for years on multiple machines and iOS devices. Works great, and I happily pay for it every once in a while. I'd rather support a small company dedicated to this, than get a cheap product from a corporation with unclear goals.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi jwr, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.
- OrwellianChild 11y agoHoly crap, this is annoying... Eva - love your company and product, but you're spamming HN with this stuff. Update your profile to disclose your affiliation, up-vote the comments praising 1Password if you want, and answer questions candidly. Happy to see company reps participating in the conversation! Just kill the "Hi so-in-so" and the boilerplate "I am Eva...". If all you have to say is thank you, upvote and leave it at that - your posts are taking up like 50% of the article commentary...
- jtheory 11y agoAdding to the other response here -- it's great to thank your customers, and you wouldn't want to hide that you're affiliated with AgileBits. But please bear in mind that people reading HN are here to read a discussion. A good guideline is just "does this add useful/interesting content to the discussion?"; if not, think very hard before adding it. Plus from the HN guidelines: Please don't sign comments; they're already signed with your username. If other users want to learn more about you, they can click on it to see your profile. All that said, welcome to HN!
- chillwaves 11y agoThis is a little different. I think the disclosure is important. Maybe they could just be more succinct with it.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi quanaut, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. You will find the users manuals for all of our platforms at http://support.1password.com http://support.1password.com and if you have any questions about specific features, please feel free to ask one of our support jedis at http://discussions.ahilebits.com http://discussions.ahilebits.com.
- Isn0gud 11y ago70€ is quite expensive
- themartorana 11y agoFor the secure storage of hundreds of passwords that sit in front of insane amounts of personal information, with support for auto-filling on desktop and mobile, easy syncing, archive sharing, and more... It's really not that expensive for what you're trusting it with. Edit: not affiliated, but it has to be my #1 favorite application on any platform.
- Oletros 11y ago> For the secure storage of hundreds of passwords that sit in front of insane amounts of personal information, with support for auto-filling on desktop and mobile, easy syncing, archive sharing, and more... I have all those features plus a proper web extension for $12/year.
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi themartorana, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love of 1Password! We love our customers and with folks like you, is it any wonder why?
- donkeyd 11y agoWhat annoyed me and made me switch to Last pass is that once I had all their apps, they released new versions which I had to pay for, again.
- jsudhams 11y agoyes in US$ 12 vs 40+ dollar for single user
- falcolas 11y ago$12 a year vs. a one-time purchase. Just for clarification purposes.
- Gonzih 11y agoIs it usable on linux?
- kingosticks 11y agoAm I missing something or is there really not a linux client?
- CountSessine 11y agoNope - no Linux client. Lot's of customers asking for one, too. There's a javascript client you can use on Linux, but a nice native Linux client would be ideal.
- shlant 11y agoI actually did an evaluation of password storage services recently and chose LastPass over 1Password for a couple reasons: 1. 1Password is SUPER expensive for what it is. You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac. 2. It has no enterprise level features (This is for my organization) such as user management, access logging and fine grained roles and sharing. 1Password might be good for an individual or a small team, but it's too simple for anything beyond that.
- paulcole 11y ago"You really pay for the fact that it looks nice and integrates well with mac." Aren't those exactly the kind of things I'd want to pay for-- rather than opting for a cheaper solution that doesn't have those features?
- tamedimp123 11y agoNo, you want to pay for quality encryption and data safety.
- krisdol 11y agoKeyword: "I". Personally I'd choose Keepass as it is OSS but we all have different priorities. Seems like LastPass has features targeted at enterprise customers and it's (unfortunately) rare that a large businesses makes purchasing decisions with a priority on UX.
- bad_user 11y agoFor me look & feel and usability are nice, but not if it doesn't correspond to my needs. I routinely use both a Ubuntu Linux laptop and a MacBook. Unfortunately 1Password does not support Linux. And while I do use Dropbox, I like having the flexibility of switching to Google Drive. Speaking of look & feel, on Android the 1Password interface is the ugly duckling that doesn't use material design. And back to price. At home I also have a Windows box that I sometimes use for media. My phone is an Android, but I also have an iPad. So 1Password would set me back $42 for OS X + Windows (includes the discount), about $7 for Android and another $7 for iOS. That would be $56 with the discount, or $84 without the discount. And that is expensive, I mean that's almost the price of an IntelliJ IDEA upgrade. It's not terrible, I mean it does provide value and the price is sort of justified. But careful on the wanting to pay for things, as that's not how the world works. Do you know what happens to the farmers that invested money in the latest tractors and the seeds with the highest yield? Most are near bankruptcy, choked by loans and surviving on government subsidies. Just saying, wanting to pay for things is a sign that you've got more money than ability to spend, which is cool, but life is surprising and things change.
- MkOmNom 11y agoGive okeylabs a look. Not out yet but for the future.
- saibalter 11y agoLooks like great future proofing. how do they deal with people who dont have an apple watch though?
- fsckin 11y agoCan't watch their demo video -- blocked because of copyright infringement. Whoops.
- Oletros 11y agoDoes it work with Linux, Windows or Android?
- MkOmNom 11y agoSeems like the alpha is only for Apple products, I read that their next step is to support Windows and Android
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi danieldk, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love of 1Password with the other folks on this thread!
- ntucker 11y agoYou guys might want to see if you can do a better job of publicizing the LastPass import. I googled for it and found some of your support forum threads where users had contributed scripts to do it, and I thought that was a bit iffy, so I resolved to deal with it later. I then saw another comment here that clued me in to the fact that LastPass has an 'export' feature that you guys can import from. 60 seconds later, it was done. I'm sure you're getting a lot of new users today. Good luck! :)
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi ntucker, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. That's a great suggestion, thank you. And thank also for the good wishes. It has certainly been a busy day!
- bognition 11y agoAny chance you guys are going to run a promotion?
- Eva_Schweber 11y agoHi bognition, Just to be clear who I am, I am repeating that I am Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password. And to answer your question, yes. We have put all of our apps (including our in-app purchases) on sale for 40% off.
- bognition 11y agoNice! you just scored yourself another customer!
- jdc0589 11y ago1Password is the only password manager that has been polished, feature complete, and low-impact enough to get me to actually use it. I gladly paid for it. If only all mobile browsers has easy ways for 1Password to integrate...
- biturd 11y agoIt's gotten a lot better, have you used the iOS9 app yet? Or I would imagine the Android app, their latest update on iOS is pretty good. While you are still using their app and spinning up a browser inside it, it doesn't feel that way anymore, and this is coming from someone suffering the pains of using this on an iPhone 4S.
- wlesieutre 11y agoThe Android app is not particularly good, but it gets the job done. Much like the Windows client compared to Mac, it's clearly playing second fiddle. They're doing a new "Windows Modern" (or whatever it's called) version, I need to give that a try sometime.
- technion 11y agoCan you tell me about any experiences with 1Password and IE ? I've been a huge fan of the technical capabilities of Lastpass in general - I have many desktops and syncing generated passwords works great. But it's never been something I could push to my business customers because it's never worked reliably under IE[0][1][2]. When I've bought this up in other forums, I only get the "oh.. using IE is dumb" sort of response, which is completely unhelpful for your average business. But it's an attitude I've often wondered if Lastpass had, based on their regular release cycles being heavily skewed away from IE[3]. 0,1 and 2 are easily replicated in my environments: [0] https://forums.lastpass.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=124495&start=10 https://forums.lastpass.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=124495&star...

- pinkano 11y agoNope, they are too pricey and their Windows version is not that smooth like competitors. I'm using Sticky Password - http://www.stickypassword.com http://www.stickypassword.com
