All password managers have issues but as a user of 1Password I have a lot of gripes with the product:
- Fails to fill out passwords around 2% of the time (Firefox account for example)
- Sometimes I mash the "CMD+/" shortcut and nothing happens. It's very unstable.
- Password generator is rigid. I have to edit the generated password about 90% of the time to add capital letters, numbers etc. I made a comment a while back on how we should be using HTML data attrs on the password field to hint how a password should look for password generators. Perfect password every time.
- Can't remove a single item from the trash. It's empty all or nothing.
- The shift to the web. Introduction of Keepass X extension whilst supporting the legacy. No feature parity between them. It's a bit of a mess to be honest.
- kemayo 6y agoRe the generator, there's the passwordrules proposal: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3518 https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/3518 Some systems are already using it -- e.g. I know that Apple's generate-password helper reads it, and I believe that 1Password also does.
- digianarchist 6y agoThis is exactly what I was thinking. I knew the idea was too good to be mine.
- tschwimmer 6y agoMan, that password attributes idea is very good. How does one go about proposing that to a standards committee or something?
