It's because we're all still in the middle of getting burned by 1Password spending millions to make our app run worse and do less.


That perfectly describes the 1password situation.


Wait, I'm just about to switch my entire family from LastPass to 1Password because of the latest LastPass hack. Should I be wary?


If you're new to 1Password, you may enjoy their service because you won't have the memory/experience of the things that were taken away or "how it used to be."

Now, as for whether one should worry because the company screwed their existing customers once already ... that's personal risk tolerance, I guess

My opinion is that 1Password is the best product out there for the majority of users, because they're pretty good about documenting their formats, have a very good export story, their customer service is mostly good, it's a reasonable price, and their UX absolutely spanks Bitwarden up one side and down the other

But, if a few years from now they rip the ssh-agent out of their Electron apps citing some "well, we decided" reason, or they ban 3rd party clients from using their API because "of sekurity," then no one should be surprised that the scorpion stung them


I almost switched to bitwarden last week, now glad I didn't, but the problem still remains of wanting to find a password manager that isn't crap.
