WORKS FOR

Teams that need shared password vaults, MFA/TOTP management, onboarding new hires, and SSH key injection. Recommended by security experts over LastPass. Strong fit for SaaS teams 10–50 employees.

KEY INSIGHT

The go-to team password manager for SaaS companies, but watch for browser extension autofill failures (~10% of the time) and pricing increases post–private equity acquisition. Browser extension deep integration is both its strength and its biggest reliability complaint.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Teams requiring local (offline) vault storage — v8+ forces cloud sync. Linux users report app and browser extension reliability issues. Not ideal for users who want open-source auditability.

1Password: saves maybe 30 seconds a day. not measurable in weekly data but the security benefit is real.

Reddit • unknown • Use case: workflow optimization and security

Got tired of: 1. Notion/Evernote/1Password subscriptions

the obvious answer is 'give my 1password to my partner'. but that turns one human into the single point of failure.

I love 1Password... but I cannot justify a 33% increase in annual sub.

With 1Password increasing their prices I'm interested in self-hosting a password manager.

Anyone else having issues with the 1Password extension, where it doesn't let you copy and paste the password into the extension window to unlock your vault

I use 1password and Brave Browser. Sometimes when I enter username and password, I receive an error message.

I was reminded how different everyone’s tech comfort levels are—and how much 'simple to use' really matters.

Unless for some reason this bug only affects me, you should be able to easily reproduce this bug

1Password requires an app or extension install.

My best practice is to store EVERYTHING in a 1Password vault (keys, files, passwords, certificates) cause you never know when you ll need them again.

All the major apps are electron. 1password... it s pretty much unavoidable now.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Password manager desktop app

The usual flow for this is to create a temporary secret in 1pass, give access to the teammate and send the link over slack.

Then I will ssh via vs code or regular ssh which forwards my ssh key from 1password.

They are easily exportable from Apple and 1Password AFAIK. I'm worried about effects of private equity pressure on groups like 1Password.

It now covers every use case 1Password did for me... I don't think your password manager is good, and I don't think you think it's good either or you'd be using it.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Password management across platforms (iOS, Mac, Linux, Firefox)

Most tools I use heavily are open source and run on Linux and those that don't have reasonable open source alternatives (1password vs pass, for example).

I love 1Password 7, but don't want to upgrade to 8 for a number of reasons (including reviews, monthly charges, having to trust the 1Password cloud).

Hacker News • Developer • Use case: Avoiding subscription model and cloud dependency in v8

I personally use 1Password and if it had group password sharing, I would be lobbying to switch every day of the fucking week.

This doesn't align with my experience, and I've been using their app/service for years (the Windows & Mac apps, along with the Chrome and Firefox extensions).
