Exactly, I definitely have the ability to not use their software.
It's not an either/or situation. I quite happily use both keychain and 1Password.
Bitwarden would cost me more. I have the family plan and the guest vaults are awesome. My wife and I use the guest vaults for work vaults and my 1 kid does too. I would have to get 2 family accounts with Bitwarden to do the same, costing me $80 a year.
The secret key is also a selling point. Your master password could be 12345 (the same as my luggage 😂) and still be protected with the secret key. An attacker can get my master password, but if they don’t have the secrets key, they can’t get in.
I can't imagine voluntarily trusting that kind of data to a service run by Apple.
Bitwarden is crossplatform, feature rich, customizable, multi-user, modern solution, open source for free or $10/year
Anyone using iCloud is already storing password on the net.
Since nobody has actually linked to the new app so far, and all the links in the article go to the old app, here it is: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1password-8-password-manager/id1511601750
It does indeed look like it no longer includes an Apple Watch app. But I can't say I ever bother to use that, so... 🤷🏻

I completely understand the 1Password use case not being a fit for people as the product changes. The vitriol some people here show toward it however, makes no sense to me at all. The amount of "1P is dead to me" is just so strange. The product provides a beautiful, easy to use, secure cross platform tool...If you dont like it fine, if you are against subs I totally get it, but to smear it so much just seems strange.
They're not destroying themselves..yet. They swapped customer's security for more funding. One day they'll be hacked, and all that massive centralized database of passwords will cause so much pain and sorrow for their customers ( and probably have lives destroyed ), they'll never recover from it.
But they'll all be rich nevertheless. I guess that all that matters to them.
For me, it's combination of things. I used 1Password to store among my most important things. That requires
- That I can store my data on the storage of my choice, whether it be local storage only, iCloud, Dropbox, or 1Password's
- Access to my data is not tied to subscription
Please stop giving AgileBits free advertising. 1Password 8 is an unmitigated disaster, and the developers (especially the founder) don’t seem to care. I honestly hope their hubris is their undoing.
The links in the article still point to the old 1Password 7 app. Here is the correct link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1password-8-password-manager/id1511601750
I have stuck with 1Password for the same reason (the secret key).
Ten years ago I would have. Now I can't rely on iCloud to sync bookmarks properly and while I have never had any issues with keychain I am would not trust hundreds of vital passwords to it anymore.
It is not a disaster, it's a successful and useful password management application, and system. If you don't feel it works for you, that's fine but it would be nice if you stopped spreading fud.
I did a couple years ago. I'm not against subscriptions (though generally I'm less likely to use them), but I didn't really want to pay for something when I was getting 95% of the same functionality that I used natively.
1Password has done a lot of great things for third party apps for a long time; I just don't need them anymore.
Another thing that is beaten with a Bitwarden, open source. I can name 2 issues that the programs were open source and had issues for years and years before anyone cause it. Meanwhile, attackers were using the issues for their own good. Log4j and the Heartbleed bug are the 2 big ones that I can think of off hand. I think the one issue with Equifax was from a program that was open sourced. Is open source stuff good? Yes, but it can’t be the only selling point.
1Password has audits. As long as they pass the audits, I’m not worried.
As for the price, it would cost me more with Bitwarden’s family plan. Before the users in 1Password and the guest vaults, I have about 9-10 separate vaults, so with Bitwarden, I would need 2 family plans…. Costing me more than 1Password.
Bitwarden isn’t bad, and I’ll recommend it also. I don’t think it’s as polished as 1Password, but that’s my opinion. As someone said also, Bitwarden’s Mac app is also electron. I hated election apps until I gave 1Password a chance and I think it’s one of the best apps I have on my MacBook. Bitwarden is probably one of the best free password managers, but it doesn’t do what I need it to do.
1Password is the only subscription I don’t mind paying. It’s more then Netflix, and I use 1Password more often.
That’s your opinion. A few people already said they like it. I like it and I’m happy with it.
Not a bad point. I currently have no Bookmarks. I'm guessing this beta did something to them. Luckily I learned over the years to periodically export them for a backup.
This is nonsense. Please provide some kind of basis for your claims of insecurity. There is no "centralised database" of passwords.
