Is it safe to install 1password via Chocolatey package manager?
I've just discovered Chocolatey and, being an ex-Linux user, really love the concept of being able to install and upgrade software en-masse via the command line. It seems about 80% of the software I use has a presence there…even 1Password versions 7 and 4.
My first thought was, no, why would I trust that. Does anyone have any opinions on whether install 1Password for Windows via Chocolatey is safe or not?

Hi @oldmankit 👋
We do not maintain that package found on Chocolatey, as the only officially available version of 1Password for Windows can be found on our downloads page, linked below.
https://1password.com/downloads/windows/
If you're looking for an easier way to deploy 1Password to multiple machines simultaneously, give us a shout at support+windows@1password.com and we can set you up with an
.msiinstaller. 😊0 -
Thank you, Blake. I don't have any strong need for doing this via Chocalatey; it's just a convenience. I don't think it's worth the security tradeoff from my perspective.
Thank you very much for your offer, but this is just for my personal machines. 😁
