1Password for Linux beta

Re:1Password for Linux beta by nemosaltat on Wednesday October 21, 2020 @08:14PM (#24853716)

I’ve been a happy one-password customer for several years and I switched to the family subscription model to get my parents away from their little notebook of passwords. I had self-hosted a PHP based password manager for a handful of years, before switching to 1P because I wanted a “real app” with tighter OS integration. I’ve had 3 gripes and this solved one of them. The other 2 are

1) Their insistence on 1PasswordX- I want a desktop app, I want tight integration, the browser extensions work just fine if I need something quickly. 2) Poor/no support for key management- storing ssh keys as an encrypted notes is a bad work around.

As someone who can’t install 1Password many places where I have worked, 1Password X has been an amazing option.

1Password X is a sad excuse for a Linux client. Compared to the great experience one gets on MacOS (haven't used it on Windows), 1Password X is a child's toy, and a bad one at that. It did improve a bit not very long after I left 1Password, but Bitwarden hasn't been better.

I’m not saying it’s bad, it’s just grossly inferior to the native app on both macOS and Windows.

In defence of the notebook of passwords, there tends to be minimal overlap between opportunistic neighbourhood burglars and identity thieves.

Fair point- I guess digitization was somewhat selfish. A centralized DB makes it easier when I’m trying to help them with something remotely, and the “Shared Vault” facilitates easy communal logins (Netflix, Hulu, etc...)

100% agree and I did the same with my own parents.
