I’ve been a happy one-password customer for several years and I switched to the family subscription model to get my parents away from their little notebook of passwords. I had self-hosted a PHP based password manager for a handful of years, before switching to 1P because I wanted a “real app” with tighter OS integration. I’ve had 3 gripes and this solved one of them. The other 2 are
1) Their insistence on 1PasswordX- I want a desktop app, I want tight integration, the browser extensions work just fine if I need something quickly.
2) Poor/no support for key management- storing ssh keys as an encrypted notes is a bad work around.
- phren0logy 6y agoAs someone who can’t install 1Password many places where I have worked, 1Password X has been an amazing option.
- dastx 6y ago1Password X is a sad excuse for a Linux client. Compared to the great experience one gets on MacOS (haven't used it on Windows), 1Password X is a child's toy, and a bad one at that. It did improve a bit not very long after I left 1Password, but Bitwarden hasn't been better.
- nemosaltat 6y agoI’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just grossly inferior to the native app on both macOS and Windows.
- sjwright 6y agoIn defence of the notebook of passwords, there tends to be minimal overlap between opportunistic neighbourhood burglars and identity thieves.
- nemosaltat 6y agoFair point- I guess digitization was somewhat selfish. A centralized DB makes it easier when I’m trying to help them with something remotely, and the “Shared Vault” facilitates easy communal logins (Netflix, Hulu, etc...)
- sjwright 6y ago100% agree and I did the same with my own parents.
