1Password to Add Telemetry

Re:1Password to Add Telemetry by rdl on Monday April 24, 2023 @04:10PM (#35692494)

The 1Password "no local/standalone vaults" "upgrade" in 7->8 is what got me to leave it after 15 years or so. They're killing the extensions used by Chrome/Brave/etc. in 3 months, so it became critical to move off Version 7 (which is probably not getting much security maintenance now, either). RIP.

This is the issue I'm having as well. I've been a standalone customer that's been paying since 2007, if I can't host my own vault either locally or in Dropbox - I'm out.

I was hoping to use 1P 7 for as long as I can, but with the Chrome extension dying it's going to become unusable. What have you found as an alternative?

This is my stance as well. I have not chosen a successor yet, but I’ll have a look at Bitwarden, Keepass and the recently released Proton Pass.

Trusting Dropbox for sync (which I did) meant trusting a cloud service, too, but IMO it is a less lucrative target for hacks than a server that stores _nothing but_ credentials. Also, using DB made me less dependent on connectivity (LAN sync) and would let me switch providers quite easily.

I'm going to try KeePassXC & syncthing. I assume its going to be no where near as good as 1P, but between no extension support, no local vaults, secret security ops, I don't see a choice.

Also a recommendation for Strongbox if you're on a Mac. I've tried "all" since switching from 1Password a few years ago and it was the one I liked the most.

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll check it out.

Little worse is that the manifest deprecation was delayed into 2024, but that hasn't stopped them from killing the extensions in 3 months.

I loathe having to migrate out of 1P 7, but there really is no choice now.

FWIW, I was a longtime 1P user and evangelist, and I moved to BitWarden instead of 1P8. The UX isn't as good, but I was giving up a native experience either way, and BitWarden is cheaper.

The transition was very smooth, and I have no regrets! Plus, now I'm supporting an open source product, which is a nice bonus.

Similar here, switched from LastPass to Bitwarden a few years ago and have been very happy with it. It's less than perfect UX, and sometimes have to manually sync when switching between devices to get a new/changed password. Relatively low cost or self-hosting options, with extensions everywhere I'd need one. I do wish the experience was better for content other than passwords (notes/cards, etc).

They're killing their browser extension for the world's most popular browser?

Just for 7?
