That's a relief. Apple acquiring 1Password would torpedo any chance of getting a decent implementation on Windows. The implementation and integration on OS X are sublime, but Windows still leave a LOT to be desired.

I agree that 1Password on Windows has issues, but I feel like the developers got screwed by Microsoft on this one: they went all in on a UWP version, then had to throw all that out and basically start from square one when it became clear that UWP was a dead end. So I cut them some slack on that score. 1Password for Windows is improving, it's just taking a while (version 7 is a big step up, for example)

  UWP is such a dead end that all new Windows 10 APIs are UWP only.

    Last time I checked, about half of the windows market is running Windows 7 which doesn't support UWP. So UWP is a dead end for anyone who needs broad compatibility.

      Windows 7 is a dead end. UWP is the future, however shitty it currently may be.

      Windows 7 is having beers with XP at retirement home.

  How exactly is UWP a dead end? Genuinely asking.

And NO Linux client. I keep hearing great things about 1password, but lastpass runs on my systems..

  The 1Password X extension works great on linux [1], including Chrome and Firefox. We use the Teams feature with developers across macOS, Linux, and sometimes Windows. The web interface allows us to manage multiple password "vaults" in a single place, and those credentials are then easily accessible via the browser extension.

    It's sometimes a bit funky in the update times though. I'll add a password or note and I'll have to wait till the next reboot or some other uncertain amount of time until I'm able to access that pass/note in 1Px Still blows LastPass out the water even with that flaw.
