Is it? I've been using it for sometime as well but it seems like there is a lot of room for improvement. E.g:
- Support for unlocking via Watch ID on the Mac.
- Currently on iOS when searching for a password within an app, if a site prefix is included that doesn't match what's in 1Password the list will just show no results, with no way to navigate manually to the login. Instead, you have to close the app, open 1Password, and copy/paste the credentials back in. Typically the master password will have to be re-entered as well, despite touch ID being adequate a moment prior. Since it's rare to sign up via the web now for mobile apps, this is the most common scenario for me when using 1Password for apps on my phone (and occasionally websites as well).
- Improved UI/UX on mobile. Dashlane is way better in this regard. 1Password overemphasizes features I don't need like tags and favorites and has a pretty cluttered look in general.
I like the native Mac app and open/local vault format. (Dashlane by contrast has a very buggy desktop app and requires storing everything on their servers.) But I would jump at the chance to use an alternative with a simpler UI and better experience on mobile.
- suchire 6y agoWe use Dashlane at work, and every day I want to switch to 1Password, which I use in my home life. Dashlane has weird permissions glitches, a really buggy and very non-intuitive desktop app, really terrible web browser extensions that makes me tear out my hair in frustration, and even the mobile app doesn’t feel like it has the features I want, like the ability to add more than one password field (useful for accounts that have PIN codes and such). Even performance-wise, Dashlane’s mobile app feels really sluggish doing things like adding 2FA via QR code’s, which 1Password seems to do instantly.
- mkskm 6y agoAgreed on all those points, especially the desktop app which was ultimately the breaking point for me. The only thing better about Dashlane right now is the UI on the iOS app IMO.
- bwoodruff 6y agoThanks for the feedback! We can unlock 1Password for Mac via Apple Watch on Macs that have Secure Enclaves now. :) - Ben, 1Password
- bwoodruff 6y agoJust to clarify: the feature is currently in beta. > Unlock 1Password using your Apple Watch on Macs with a Secure Enclave. From the 1Password for Mac 7.7.BETA-0 release notes. - Ben, 1Password
- rmorey 6y agoUpon reading this I was incredibly excited to go try it out... until I remembered I lost my Apple Watch last week :(((
- bwoodruff 6y agoOof. I'm sorry. :(

- Hnrobert42 6y agoA login can have multiple URLs. For sites which don’t automatically load the right entry, you can add another URL to give 1pw a hint. This won’t solve all your problems. It won’t even solve the problem you describe the first time you encounter it. Nor will it solve it for apps that fail to provide an INTENT URL. But hopefully it will make things a little easier.
- mkskm 6y agoThat would improve the completion, but ideally 1Password should allow me to select the login myself within the app modal (by navigating to "all logins" with the filter deactivated), and then add the intent URL for me.
- Hnrobert42 6y agoAgreed. You should consider posting to their forum. I have for several issues, and they have been responsive and helpful.
