In other words they never really intended to do this and only wanted to put on a show. Thousands of people responded to a survey by AgileBits themselves begging for an option to self-host and at the end AB said "sorry we wanted way more interest so we're putting this to bed". Through 1PW7 local vaults had always been an option and had been fully supported. 1PW now requires all vaults be hosted on their own servers (their own "cloud").There are no longer standalone one-time license purchases. Agilebits is treating these like new feature requests rather than the serious breakage and bugs that they are and seemingly are just sending them to the circular bitbucket in the corner In doing so much of the previous key functionality was abandoned and despite hundreds and thousands of complaints in the 1PW forums these features have yet to be returned. 1PW8 is a complete rewrite from scratch using Electron. Trust Us".Īs I had noted in another thread 1PW version 7 will likely be the last for me. The more people would complain to them the more they'd spew back "We really think you'll love our way of doing this. Sadly at one point the direction of AgileBits appeared to wander and little changes have been forced down our throats. This has always been my top recommendation since it has options to suit almost everyone. At the time it checked off all the boxes and was one of the best options available. I am looking forward to the next updates from Apple, and maybe I'd do another week without 1Password.Let me preface this by noting I've been using 1Password for years, since when it was macOS only. If I have not invested on 1Password before (with password sharing, back-up codes, notes, attachments and files), iCloud Keychain Password is sufficient. With these issues, iCloud Keychain Password still has a lot of catching up to do. Now I feel that my online footprint is a tad smaller now. I trimmed the database when I reviewed the iKP entries, weeding out online services that I was no longer using made me feel better (sent a number of requests for account deletion). I almost forget, I have a lot of stale accounts on 1Password. The past week, I didn't see the need to share a password with my family, but since I have a shared vault on 1Password, going all in on iKP might not be a good idea without password sharing.Ħ. Password sharing is still not available on iKP. Anyway, re-generating the OTP was not that complex - I deleted the one on 1Password and re-enrolled the account with OTP on both 1Password and iKP. I don't remember if those in iKP was migrated from 1Password or if I configured it earlier. I wondered why OTP was not migrated from 1Password to iKP. Using 1Password was easier, but I decided that having a Shortcut is more fun!Ĥ. New passwords are available on Safari, but it was not as flawless as I'd like it to be. Creating new passwords was an issue that made me write a separate Shortcuts. No issue if Safari's the only browser I use, though.ģ. On the Mac, without an iKP plug-in for other browsers, such as Firefox, I had to do a lot of copy-and-paste to login it. Using iKP on iOS and iPadOS definitely was pleasant as it was available on the entire system. I am waiting for the new features coming soon on 15.4.Ģ. I know that you can use the Notes app and encrypt it for security, but that is a bit tedious. I also have files and attachments on 1Password, which were not carried over to iKP. There were issues with back-up codes and notes - they were not imported since iKP does not support it (yet). Importing 1Password entries to iCloud Keychain Password was quick and painless, but not perfect. The verdict? Well, I just reactivated my 1Password Safari (and Firefox) plug-ins and added 1Password to Password Autofill on iOS and iPadOS.ġ. A week has gone by and my experiment of using the iCloud Keychain Password exclusively on the iPhone, iPad and Mac is over.
