1Password used to be an excellent native app. It's not surprising that many users (myself included) resent the enshittification.

I've used it for years and am only finding out today that it's Electron. And I couldn't care less.

99.9% of my usage is within the browser plugin anyways. And whenever I have to edit an entry, it works fine.

If you don't (or barely) use the app, the app is not an issue to you; that seems pretty self-evident.

The experience for regular users may differ.

What is the problem with it? And isn't everyone using the browser plugin anyways mostly? Isn't that where the vast majority of passwords get entered?

Personally, I use it as much for other secrets as for browser passwords. Social security numbers, software licenses (not so much anymore), password reset questions, passwords I can't paste (for work), etc.

I don't use a plugin. Never tried it, simply never mattered enough (and I generally store frequently-used browser passwords in the browser's keychain as well).

Serious question: why would you pay for 1Password but then use your browser's password manager? Now you have to keep track of updating passwords in two places? Or remembering which sites are stored in which password manager? That's breaking my brain.

You personally disliking something isnt enshittification.

It was done at roughly the same time that the company switched to a subscription model and their focus switched from consumer to business.

...shortly thereafter, Apple released their own Passwords app, largely Sherlocking 1Password from a consumer perspective.

If this had been your business, what would you have done? I would have done exactly what they did.

You raise an excellent point, and the truth is that I don't know.

That doesn't change the consumer perspective: I'm paying more for a worse product.
