I thought I was going crazy fighting with their staff about the existence of this bug.
It makes it maddening trying to get on a website, and having to wait for the vault. Input queues up in the meantime, meaning I can't click or type on other things. Then suddenly, my mouse will shoot around the screen and my characters will get typed to wherever I was.
I use 1Password on Windows 10 (and iOS) and "hanging for minutes at a time" has definitely not been my experience anywhere. It works well enough for daily use. The Chrome integration sometimes does stop working (about once a fortnight or so) but Help > Restart 1Password Helper takes care of that.
Yes the UI is "classic Windows" not "modern UI"[1] but written an afterthought seems a bit harsh.
>3. They're promoting cloud vaults and hiding local vaults, and the Windows version of 1Password has apparently never used local vaults.
1Password has absolutely used local vaults since its inception. They STOPPED supporting them in the latest version which is ridiculous, frustrating, and feels like a bait and switch. Had I known that was going to be their tactic going forward I never would've bought version 4 for Windows.
And no, I don't want to hear about how "version 4 still works just fine" - version 4 has all sorts of bugs, on windows 10 frequently hangs for minutes at a time when unlocking the database, and in general looks like it was written as an after-thought.
