They should take 20 million, endow a foundation, and have the foundation hire a couple of their original devs to make a clean room, open-source equivalent to 1Password 6. Then those of us who actually just want a self hosted password manager, not a massive whacky cloud secret factory, can use that.
Sigh, what a stupid world we live in, where greed destroys everything good.
- Kwpolska 5y agoHave you tried KeePassXC? It has a reasonable UI and mental model, and does zero cloudy things.
- idonotknowwhy 5y agoAnd you can choose to sync with Dropbox, one drive, etc. And it has an android app.
- mdaniel 5y agoAnd it can already read the 1Password .opvault (the "legacy" format, stored in Dropbox and on disk) "file" format -- I would guess it wouldn't be an unholy amount of work to teach it to write out that format, too, but I stopped short of doing that work because I figured KeePassXC wouldn't merge it After that, I would teach KeePassXC to serve the 1Password browser extension websocket protocol, because I found its UX far, far, far, far superior to KeePassXC's browser extension UX
- AnonHP 5y agoI have tried it, but one of my use cases is sharing passwords, and I couldn’t figure out how to do that well.
- symlinkk 5y agoWhy do you feel entitled to that? Are you going to pay for it again?
- paulcole 5y agoWhy exactly “should” they do that?
