- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15218768, 3 years agoToo chonky memory-wise - it uses 200-300 MB by itself.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Thomas, 3 years agoWorst issue is that it loses all data unexpectedly and need to find and enter the secret key from the printout stored in a safe place to regain access to the database. The expectation is that it should never lose data and only lock the vault or remove the stored secret key if instructed.

posted 3 years agoHey Thomas,
The extension will “forget” your account when you clear the browser’s cache. If your browser is set to clear cache automatically every time you close it, you will need to re-authorize your account on every launch.
If you have the 1Password desktop app installed on your computer, it can set up the extension for you on every launch without you needing to input the Secret Key every time.
If you have further questions about this, feel free to email us to support+x@1password.com - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17068994, 3 years agoAdd-on doesn't give me the option to add the new updated version of 1 Password. It takes me to a page to remove it however.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Richard Careaga, 3 years agoI've been using 1P for years, first on macOS and now on Ubutnu. It's useful, helpful, solid, syncs well across Linux, macOS and iOS devices and apps and provides the right balance between nanny state and user autonomy.
The killer feature, however, is that this team is fanatical about updating, not to mention that the user update experience is seamless.
1P was the first app that I decided it was OK to subscribe to, rather than have a permanent license. It's a gottahaveit.Developer response

- Rated 4 out of 5by jvb, 3 years agoThe 1Password extension's icon used to appear in my Bookmarks bar; now it's only in my menu bar. Why?

Feel free to email us if you require further assistance with this at support+x@1password.com - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17051350, 3 years agoI wrote a frustrated review to start but deleted that with my new understandings that might help first-timers like me.
First, this doesn't automatically make your passwords better or accounts safer. All this does is remember your bad old passwords. You have to manually go in and change all the passwords. As in, go to every site one at a time, go to your account, go to "change password" and then have 1P come up with a new password that you manually copy and paste. It'll remember the password, but you're doing most of the groundwork which seems like it will take a long time. Second, you can help it get started by downloading your saved passwords from your browser then uploading them into the 1P site. Still, it's just remembering your old, crappy password and not doing anything on it's own to make your accounts more secure until you go through the sites, one by one, updating them with the random password 1P generates. And if you're like me, that's a lot of sites. Third, I still haven't figured out how to get into, say, my email account if I'm not home or using a public computer. If I get 1P to change my password to some random letters and numbers to make it safe--great! But then when I need to check my email on a friend's computer, how do I do that? I'm seeing some things about 1P Anywhere but haven't gotten anything definitive yet. So keep that in mind if that's important for you.Developer response

Thank you for taking the time to write this review!
Yes, 1Password is a tool designed to store and manage all of your passwords. And no, it will not automatically or automagically change all of your passwords for all of your accounts because that’s not (currently) possible, since every website is built and designed differently, but not only that, it would also be an extremely intrusive and privacy-breaking action that we most certainly will not be comfortable offering! Our users’ privacy is extremely important to us :)
The transition to a password manager is not always an easy one. When you start with 1Password it will let you know how many websites and passwords from your list are weak or compromised, and you will need to go into each website and create a strong new password to improve your security. But once you’re done with that initial transition phase, you will be good to go and know that you are oh so much safer online! Not only that, you will never find yourself in the same situation again because 1Password will be there to generate strong passwords automatically for you from now on.
As for your question - if you have specific accounts or services that you would like to be able to log into without 1Password’s help, it is best to generate a strong memorable worded password for that website/service. That way you will be able to memorize it and log into it on any device. Simply open 1Password’s generator and change it from “Random passwords” to “Worded passwords”, or generate them here instead: https://1password.com/password-generator/?type=memorable

I had LastPass for a few years and it was working ok, but just ok, but it definitely went downhill fast! The last few months was a disaster. So I decided to change over to 1Password and it was the best decision I've ever made. It works flawlessly! Very user friendly and has all of the security measures that I need. I feel very confident that my information is protected by 1Password and I highly recommend it.

I did not expect a response from the dev but it was a pleasant surprise. I did see the responses to other reviews but wasn't sure. I tried the fixes/suggestions provided. They work, thank you. I was evaluating to see if i should purchase the family plan.
This proves the level the service they provide. Please keep this up. I purchased the plan for an year. Thank you.
For interested parties i did not use the same email address for this review as the free trail account in case of cheeky business :). They do respond to every review.
Previous Review
Ctrl+Period shortcut never worked. It opens app when i want to use the browser extension. Not sure why app is needed when i am using the browser extension.
It does not have an option (easily available) to generate new password. It does not allow me to choose the length and types of characters in the password it generated. The UI is clunky.
For writing this review i had to create a firefox account. It did not prompt to create password.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHey there,
Sorry to hear you’ve had a rough landing with our extension.
Most of the points you’ve raised can be adjusted in the extension’s settings page (right-click the extension icon and select “Settings”).
In the settings page, you can change the keyboard shortcut to something else that is available and works.
You can also turn off the integration with the desktop app so the extension would work separately and won’t launch the desktop app at all.
You can generate new passwords in the generator, which is found in the extension’s menu - click the extension’s icon in Firefox’s toolbar, select the PLUS icon to reveal the menu and select “Password Generator”.
You can also change/set the default password recipe so it will always suggest your own recipe instead of our smart passwords.
If you have any further questions, feel free to email us and we’ll be happy to help you get everything working as you’d like it to :)
