![]() I’ve switched to 1PW8 and it actually works pretty well. And having sharing with my wife and our two iPhones and four computers is necessary. I don’t want to use any of the ones that require lots of setup. Neil Laubenthal What features went away in version 8? Staying with the old version probably won’t be a good idea for too long. That’s were I most recently purchased it and don’t want to use the download. Don’t announce the new product if it’s not available to significant number of your users. I’m not seeing it and that isn’t a good sign for 1P. I got into this thread to see if anyone was seeing 1P 8 in the App Store. But I’ll probably drop Dropbox at some point. It’s usually a minute or so, iCloud can be a long time. I can use Dropbox to transfer files from one computer to another. I think I only missed one feature of Evernote.ĭropbox. Was much better than Notes, but Evernote added too many features and Notes got good enough. Evernote seems to have had a similar arc. They do eventually make good enough products to kill off competitors in many areas. I do have the feeling that they are not concentrating enough on small macOS and iOS users. We may not like the Electron underpinnings, but why 1Password did it is not that hard to understand. Maybe if Apple gets its act together and finally unifies Mac and iOS development, 1Password will be able to return to a true Mac app. I don’t like the fact MacOS is no longer a true Mac client, but I understand. It’s expensive, but I tell development it’s way more expensive to continue down your current path. Telling the company to update all customers to the latest release, merging code and removing one off options is hard to do. (“It worked on my machine.”) Customers are complaining. When you’re working on three different platforms and supporting four different releases and have customized customer code all over the place (“It’s just some JavaScript.”), your development gets sloppy. My main job for the last four decades was getting development teams to simplify development because that’s the best way to improve the program. Plus subscription services gives you a steady income stream to keep your application up to date. If a bug is found, you fix the most recent release and tell everyone to upgrade. And a subscription based service means dealing with just a few releases. Removing all the various storage options for the database helps. They have a code line for iOS/iPadOS and one for everything else. A single codebase for Windows, Android, Linux, and Mac reduces the work five platforms to just two. Making development easier, so they can keep adding features is an important issue. Both offer connection to Have You Been Pwnd’s database of password break ins letting you know of possible password security breaches. Both Apple and Android have built in password managers. It’s a lot of work for a one product company.Īnd, the competition is getting tough. At the same time, they had the ability to use private storage, iCloud, Dropbox, and I believe Android’s cloud services to store your password database. Unfortunately, Catalyst still needs a lot of work.ġPassword was originally a MacOS program, got ported to the iPhone, iPad, Windows, Linux, and Android. Originally, they were hoping Apple’s new Catalyst developer tools to build one app for MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS. I still wonder about the reasons for choosing Electron.
