1Password: Password Manager by 1Password

3.9 Stars out of 5

Review by ToG

I used to love 1 password, however I'm not convinced by the recent move to an entirely browser based solution. Following an update ot the Mac app yesterday, this add-on just stopped prompting for TouchID, and kept asking for my password (which I fail t trust when it asks for it in the browser!). Turns out I had to restart (browser of laptop, o'm not sure, as I rebooted). It would have been nive to see some kind of notification advising this was required, as without it I just thought that the upgrade had broken the add-on.
All seems to be working again now after the reboot, but I find recent 1password developmnent direction disappointing, what with the news that the native Mac app is being dropped in v8.

Hey ToG,

Sorry to hear you encountered a little trouble after updating.

1Password in your browser requires a secure connection to the desktop app, and it sounds like that connection was broken when the app updated.

That is something we’re definitely working on improving, and is already showing great results in 1Password 8 on all platforms!

Thank you kindly for the feedback and input here, much appreciated. We’re working extremely hard to make sure 1Password 8 is the best 1Password ever, regardless of it being native or not. :)

The 1Password team.
