And there are now at least acceptable (if lacking comparable polish) open source solutions too.
It's been sad to watch another product I really liked follow the path down towards extractiveness and stop caring about core features in favor of that (speaking of things which don't have token support.), but hardly the first time. There will still be non-key secrets of course, but without the need to keep up with websites and such anymore most of the maintenance burden will vanish. AgileBits today released a new version of popular password management app 1Password, with the updated Mac software now able to run natively on Apples M1 Macs. I'm sure there will be a long tail, but I'm looking forward to the long long delayed day where all password managers are obsolete. And finally FINALLY the industry is starting to really move towards doing what it should have done 15-20 years ago and eliminate passwords in favor of public-key crypto and hardware tokens/smart cards.
I'm a big believer that long term nearly all companies will inevitably structure around their incentives, and 1Password's (RIP "AgileBits" ) don't seem well aligned with mine anymore.įortunately with 1P7 having made it all the way to Apple Silicon and current macOS I think it'll likely run fine even if they drop updates for it for the foreseeable future. Just this past January they raised $620 million on a $6.8 billion valuation, they're ramping for a big IPO and will inevitably push further towards additional monetization and revenue lock. Throwing away native and eliminating standalone vaults (which yes we still use) are unacceptable red lines for me, and I don't see the trend improving.
Click to expand.1P7 has been going downhill in my usage anyway for a while and I think 1P7 will likely be my final version.
