The Standalone version’s support is abysmal. Just yesterday I found out it is not supported on Linux. I’m sorry, but what? I almost regret purchasing 1Password

The Standalone version’s support is abysmal. Just yesterday I found out it is not supported on Linux. I’m sorry, but what? I almost regret purchasing 1Password. edit: So complaining about lack of support for a major operating system is downvote-worthy now. Cool. Keep it classy, HN.

A lot of commercial software is not supported on Linux. The vast majority of it, even. At one point I ran the legacy Windows version under Wine, which even worked with the Chrome extension. Had to disable some extension security policy in Chrome though.

  Yeah, I saw that was an option, but installing Wine and all its dependencies (~750 MB of space) just to run a legacy Windows app is a non-starter, for obvious reasons.

    Wrong again, there have been cross-platform wrappers for the (very well documented) 1P format for a LONG TIME, see here[0]. Slightly non-intuitive, but functional. [0]: https://github.com/georgebrock/1pass https://github.com/georgebrock/1pass

      Note that only the older agilekeychain format is well documented. AFAIK there aren't any well known public CLI tools kicking around that can read the opvault format, though it shouldn't be that hard: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/77406/opvault-implementation-details https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/77406/opvault-i...

  This is off topic but I've had to use AIX for a recent project and it's jarring to see the lack of software available for AIX compared to Linux. Makes me happy to go back to Linux. So it's all relative =)

It never has been supported on Linux. Why is that suddenly a surprise to you?

  I built a Linux machine to perform my development work on and found it out. "It has never been supported on Linux", uh, okay? I'm saying it's totally shitty that a major platform is not supported.

    Linux is a major platform? It’s probably as hard to write a Linux version as it is to write the other two, but it has at least two orders of magnitude fewer users.

      It's a major platform amongst hackers, no? That's the core audience here.

        I don't think hackers are 1Password's core audience. Password managers have a pretty wide appeal.

    Yeah... Linux is not a major platform for anything except web servers and I don't think web servers have a need for 1Password yet.
