Lack of 1password support on linux is the main thing keeping me on macos. Sounds like I might be switching back soon.

You might want to look at KeepassXC.

  That does not come with a simple way to have your passwords and automatically though. A better alternative in my opinion would be Bitwarden.

      Yeah, I wanted to write that it does not come with a simple way to sync passwords. Simple as in you type a password and it is synced, instead of having to manually copy the file to each location. Definitely not insurmountable and I used that system for a while as well, but something like Bitwarden, which I now use, is just easier.

        Gotcha. I guess for most of us on HN the big delineation is -- can you sync your password store easily (and exclusively) to your own systems, vs can you sync easily with a remote managed service. I'm very much in the camp that eschews the latter. As per my comment elsewhere in this thread, I've got a reasonably robust arrangement using a combination of Syncthing and KeePassXC, which so far has worked well for me.

Personally I find the 1Password X browser extension is perfectly fine for my 1Password needs on my Linux desktop. That said the extension probably isn’t as good if you have a lot of server passwords or accounts you have to enter a lot in desktop apps. This isn’t a problem for me because I only use 1Password for web logins anyway, my various network passwords are easier to organize in pass.
