I disagree. In fact, given the regular loss of online credentials, I think you are misguided in your faith in a hosted password solution. There are plenty of people that do not want to for very good reasons.
As far as syncing using non-hosted 1Password, I use a combination of wifi sync (for mobile devices) and Resilio (in local sync only mode, no tracker, no cloud copy a la Dropbox) to sync. Works very nicely across 5 or 6 devices and fits my use case of syncing only when my devices are on the same network.
- kobeya 9y agoDoes that work well with multi device updates? What happens if two devices write to the database and then sync?
- newman314 9y agoTBH, do you anticipate a scenario where you are changing passwords on multiple devices in short order or simultaneously? I don't make changes to 1Password that often so while I get that this is HN, not everything needs to be scalable =)
- kobeya 9y agoThe GP was talking about family sharing, so yes.
- rickfillion 9y agoIf you're using 1Password for Mac or iOS, then simultaneous writes are a non-issue. All sync types have conflict resolution implemented, where worst case scenario it'll put the overwritten password into a "Conflict" section at the bottom of the item. With the other apps, you'd get nice behavior with 1Password.com because the first one to hit the server will have its record saved in the archive. That's one of the nice features of 1Password.com, getting to see item history. You don't need to worry about accidentally overwriting changes.
- kobeya 9y agoWe’re not talking about syncing using the server but rather local file that is later synced via a file sharing service.
