Re:PSA: LastPass Does Not Encrypt Everything in Your Vault

While I haven't used 1Password on Windows, it's come a long way in the last year or so, so that it's now a first-class cloud-based password manager with sharing, sync, and cross-platform clients, as well as the ability to belong to multiple organization-level accounts at a time (great for us serial entrepreneurs!). 1Password's Mac browser plugins actually communicate with the native client running in the background and doing the heavy lifting, which I think is a better security model as the plugins only need to worry about securing the localhost communications channel, rather than securing any data caches or doing any cryptography themselves. I've left LastPass entirely, and good riddance.

Do they have a Linux client now? I recently switch from 1Password TO Lastpass due to lack of a Linux client.

Unfortunately as of October it's not a priority for them: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/66916/1password...

There is a somewhat limited functionality Lua script [0] that will decide the vault, limited but works.
Wine works too.

It functions well enough under wine. A native client would be lovely, but I gather they don't see it as a priority.

Not yet which is a shame. I want to use the chrome extension when on my dev machine.

Wine is not an acceptable workaround for using 1Password. Either they write and release a Linux client, or I don't pay for their service.

Then continue to enjoy a sub-standard password manager.
Edit: When the 1Password app under Wine functions better than the native LastPass app on Linux, I think it's time to rethink some priorities.
