Sadly, 1Password seems to just get worse and worse in terms of usability with each release. The latest incarnation has so many little annoyances that makes me seriously consider switching. The one thing it's got going for it that really is kind of a killer feature for me is SSH key handling. It's super nice being able to sign your commits with Touch ID. Everything else is meh at best.

It's truly baffling how they manage to consistently make the software worse every single release. I was a huge fan of 1Password many years ago (and have been happy to pay for it throughout), but each successive release is more confusing and less reliable.

Bitwarden is by no means perfect but I really appreciate their user engagement and excellent documentation.

How is it not perfect? I haven't noticed a flaw yet.

The UI isn't all that intuitive, the 'ask to save'/'ask to update' prompts don't work that well, but I don't really blame them because they are injecting into the DOM which usually changes. As someone else mentioned, it's a bit slow to sync and load sometimes. I wish it was more obvious when I have an existing session with the desktop app which can send a token to the browser extension to keep it loaded.

You can tell i'm really reaching for bad things to say about it, haha

Agreed. Especially on iOS has it become obtrusive. Form inputs being obscured by mini pop-ups. I could go on.

I’m waiting for the release of the new macOS and I’m going to evaluate using the native implementation and ditching 1P.

The promlem with using apple password management on macos is that I need vertical tabs. Only vivaldi and Firefox provide them now and they don't use the macos key chain

What do you mean by vertical tabs?

The tabs are to the side rather than along the top.

This allows you to see the text in the tab when you have several tabs open.

Ideally tabs should be indented so you can see which tab you linked the page from.

The best implementation is the Firefox extension Tree Style tab https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

But simpler vertical tabs are on Vivaldi, OmniWeb which had them since the mid 1990s but unfortunately has not kept up with allowing other extensions, Opera used to have them when it was not Chrome. Chrome had them at one stage but reading the issues on that the developers really showed a complete lack of understanding.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. And yes, the indentation of tabs is actually a good idea.

Although, iOS has tab groups now. I rarely use them because the menu is out of sight so I forget. But on macOS they’re convenient for when I’m researching a topic.

I think you can sign git commits with a yubikey [1]. I haven’t done it myself; I use Apple’s keychain for my ssh keys.

everybody seems to be complaining about the latest release, but i find it just fine. what's wrong with it?

Any person/company/thing that uses 1Password needs to take a look around. Bitwarden is where it is at.

I love Bitwarden, but I don't understand why it takes 10 seconds to search a database with 100 entries (Android app, when searching for a saved password). It's aggravating.

Something's wrong as I have many hundreds of passwords and have no noticeable lag searching them.

I just did a whole test because I missed the fact that you said 1Password 8. I'm still on 1Password 7: https://imgur.com/a/WpeffJE

They may have come full circle but I certainly haven’t.
