Everything that isn’t in a browser? Mobile apps, SSH/OS, vpns, etc

  The ability to give an emergency recovery key to my loved ones in a sealed envelope, and to save a note in 1P for them to read should anything terrible ever happen; that note tells them where to find my bank details^ (1P), various PINs to unlock my devices (1P), logins to my not-web-based email and web servers (1P). I keep everything in 1P. Why carry around a library/health/gym/etc. card when you need the number once a week? 1P. Credit cards. Colour copies of my passport & licence. Backups of SSH keys. Passwords to sparsebundle disk images containing sensitive files. Loyalty program numbers & PINs. It does so much that Chrome doesn’t. The iOS apps are magnificent. Their sync service is magnificent. I couldn’t live without it. (^A friend of mine died a few years ago and we had a hell of a time figuring out where his finances were. Shit job. Don’t let that happen to your friends. Label your stuff in a password manager and make sure someone you trust has the key.)

    Here’s what I just realised, while doing the washing-up. The people reading this are all capable of rolling their own solution or using some esoteric Unix-only MIT-licensed command line doohickey. That’s fine. Go for it. Your family and friends, however, are not. They need advice. They need your advice. And your advice should be that they use 1Password.
