I switched to this after being a long time lastpass user, I'm regretting it. It's visually a lot better but it is terrible at generating passwords and saving them. On both windows and mac with chrome I click the 1pass icon and click generate (nothing happens). If something happens it shows up as a new entry if I go into the vault with no site or anything just a random string that I then maybe copy paste? (ugh). There also is nothing that pops up that lets me alter the specifications for the randomly generated password. Lastpass did an amazing job of this, 1password just seems broken all over the place. When I did the export/import it ruined tons of passwords because if it had an ampersand symbol (&) it turned it into & resulting in me editing tons of passwords manually. It sucks at saving passwords too, lastpass just worked. Plus no check on password integrity or strength or leaks. It was nice to do a scan and check on what passwords should be updated, what my duplicates are (if any), mass update, etc. So, basically I went from free but kinda ugly to pretty but broken and more $. This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever. YMMV but I wish I didn't switch and to move back would be another annoyance that I might do if I didn't just pay for the year.

it is terrible at generating passwords and saving them 1Password used to be better at this. Generating a password was pretty obvious, it was consistent across mobile/desktop, and the save workflow was better. It’s been several versions since that was the case (v. 3, maybe?). Now I have to hunt for the functionality and then it gets put someplace with no reference to what it is. Plus no check on password integrity or strength or leaks. It was nice to do a scan and check on what passwords should be updated, what my duplicates are (if any), mass update, etc I know the Mac version will give you all of this. Compromised sites, dupes, weak passwords, old passwords, there’s a filter for each, and I think you can make your own. It does not appear that you get this on mobile, though.

Hm. I just checked on both of these comments, and it seems 1password manages both quite well. re: password generation in-browser - this is working just fine for me. [0] And re: pw integrity or strength - this might not be everything you're looking for, but it's close. under a 'Security Audit' tab, it has categories for: - Watchtower (logins associated w/sites that are known vulnurable/exploited) - Weak Passwords - Duplicates - 3+ year old PWs - 1-3 year old pws - 6-12 month old pws. I'm not trying to be a 1password apologist, but I find it to cover my day-to-day use _very_ well. To be sure, I still tweak things in the UI at times. It doesn't capture login URLs perfectly all the time. Etc. But it's pretty good. [0] https://cl.ly/07072T0e1P2C/Add_Comment___Hacker_News.jpg https://cl.ly/07072T0e1P2C/Add_Comment___Hacker_News.jpg

  Wow, this is not at all what my screen looks like. Maybe it's the extension itself that's lacking? [0] I don't have any of these other options either. If I click on generate password the box just goes away. Maybe I should scrap the extension and just use the mac/windows application? I was reading a number of reports about not syncing between these. If I have both on maybe it'll cause issues? [0] https://imgur.com/a/msydX https://imgur.com/a/msydX

    whoa. Something is not right indeed. I'd delete the extension and re-install from AgileBit's website, and make sure the 1password app on mac is talking to the extension. This is odd, but good luck! Obv. their support team would help square things away way better than this random internet stranger could!

      Thanks wonder_er! Apparently that did the trick. I'll give this a fair shake now and maybe my harsh comments will be irrelevant soon. :)
