   Sorry for the confusion. With 1Password 8, we re-built the entire app from the ground up. We didn't have a working SwiftUI solution that we could just pick up and use - we had to re-architect the entire frontend from the ground up. So

   I'm sorry you feel that way. I'd love to know more about your issues with our current vault implementation in more detail, so I can pass along your feedback to the rest of the development team. > What gives me pause is how I wr

   The primary issue with having two separate teams for the same platform was not money, it was time. To be clear: we wanted to build a native app in parallel with our cross-platform Electron solution, and we had the developers to do it. But u

   Hi. I'm a feature developer for 1Password, and I want to clarify a few things. I've already posted this elsewhere, but I've seen multiple threads spreading misinformation that our technical decisions are being driven by VC fu

    The original article goes into great detail as to why we're moving away from local vaults. That being said, we are looking into gauging user interest in self-hosting. Please take a look at our survey [1] if you want to share your thoug

    Thank you for pointing me to that thread. I'll make sure to respond there as well. I did (incorrectly) assume that the parent was talking about Electron, so that's my bad. That being said, our decision to move away from licensing

    Hi, I work for 1Password. I can understand your frustration that we're phasing out local vaults. Luckily, I have some good news: we're currently running a survey to gauge user interest in self-hosting options. If you're inter

    Hi. I'm a features developer for 1Password. You raise a very good question (one that I used to have myself, before I started working here). I would recommend you read our security whitepaper ( https://1password.com/files

    Hi. I'm a feature developer for 1Password, and I want to clarify a few things. First of all, our decision to built the macOS app in Electron was absolutely not driven by VC money. For the past few years, we've been working on cons
