Wonder if now is the time to look at alternatives, before the service potentially changes.

I hear a lot of good things about 1Password, which seems to work for my iPhone/MacBook. Anyone know if there's a reasonable option for using it on Windows?

There is an official 1Password version for Windows: https://agilebits.com/onepassword/windows

They also have bundled licenses for both platforms.

Just a note - the 1Password Mac app is MILES ahead of the 1Password app. I've been using both for about 3 years now, and the separation is only getting larger. 1Password is smooth, fast, and fluid on Mac OSX. 1Password works, but is none of those on Windows.

There is 1Password Windows Modern Alpha[1] which so far looks very promising. It's still not very suitable for a day to day use though. (Screenshot: click "Getting started" in the forum, then "Windows 10 Store")

I chose 1Password because it works seamlessly across iPhone/MacBook/Windows.

The Windows version runs fine in WINE, alternatively they offer a very cut-down web-based solution called 1Password Anywhere (which I use on my Chromebook).

(There's an official Android client too, which wasn't mentioned above)

The only way to get some (read-only) support in Linux is by syncing the 1Password folder with Dropbox (last time I tried it did not work locally). If you open the webpage that is in that folder via Dropbox, you can log-in and read password.

They have browser extensions, so you can use it through that way on Linux it seems.

"IMPORTANT: This extension requires 1Password 4 for Mac or Windows", so I guess not.

No, it doesn't work in Linux, it needs the desktop app to work.

Does it have android fingerprint login/auth like Lastpass? This is my favorite feature and would hate to lose it.
Re:LogMeIn acquires Lastpass by boundlessdreamz on Friday October 09, 2015 @11:58AM (#10360899)
They are supporting it only in marshmallow as of now
Re:LogMeIn acquires Lastpass by Oletros on Friday October 09, 2015 @10:17AM (#10360146)
No, it doesn't and it seems that it doesn't have 2 factor authentication or yubikey supper
Re:LogMeIn acquires Lastpass by lantins on Friday October 09, 2015 @10:40AM (#10360280)
1Password stores its encrypted data 'offline', so 2FA does not make sense for their product.

Even with LastPass offering 2FA, its just that, authentication, its not used as part of the encryption/decryption process (I did read somewhere it helps with your local cached copy, but it doesn't effect the copy stored on their servers)

If you wanted to use your YubiKey with 1Password, you could set a static password and 'split' your master password (half you remember, the other half is keyed in by the YubiKey)

Why doesn't makes sense in a mobile device?

> Even with LastPass offering 2FA, its just that, authentication,

Like Touchid

Oh great! I've been using lastpass for a long time, I might've just overlooked this at the time.
