It's really, really time for a Windows 1Password update guys..
I'm taking black eyes from my clients that I've pressured to move to 1Password from previous password management apps. The Mac 1Password is SO FAR ahead of the Windows, it's embarrassing. Please tell me you guys are nearing a release with AT LEAST feature parity, I don't care if it's as pretty.

Is there an estimated release date/month/quarter for IP4 for Windows?

Needs to be faster whatever it is.. HUGE DISPARITY between current Mac/IOS versions and Windows AND the competition.. You can't even share items with the Windows current version, NOR open them from items shared on current Mac/IOS versions... its a problem.

I am considering purchasing a password manager for across platform use - Windows; iPhone, iPad and Mac and it is critical that there is automatic syncing across the platforms. It seems that 1Password has the best reviews - especially for Macs, but I am scared off from purchasing because I mainly use Windows PCs for my work and home. Are you saying that (1) there is NOT autosyncing of passwords and (2) that I should wait and/or buy an alternate password manager unless there is a 1P4 windows new release???
How stable and useful is the beta Windows 1P4 version - would that make it ok to proceed or would the group advise waiting??

No, the Windows version WILL sync with Mac and IOS devices (using Dropbox) that works fine. I'm just grumbling about the lack of many of the v4 features from the Windows version. They are working to bring the Windows version up to feature parity, its just not nearly as pretty and feature rich as the v4 Mac and IOS versions right at this moment, but I would HIGHLY recommend you go with 1Password and AgileBits. They'll get the Windows version up to snuff in time, we are just pressuring them because we are fat impatient americans :)

I also want to join the grumpy impatient list. I use macs at home but forced into using windows at work. Where I spend the majority of the day, where the majority of my passwords need to be used (work in IT) - I have signed up to the windows beta for v4 but its been a while and I can see others have been given it. Could I please find out or get access to the beta soon. Pretty please?

If you buy now you will definitely be eligible for free upgrade of the Windows version when released. It's been said numerous times, but here's one quote: http://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/17786/1password-mac-windows-bundle-version-4

Niall, we understand your impatience and appreciate your eagerness!
As the newsletter (that just went out) stated, out of about 5000 people who've signed up, so far, we've invited about 750 to start working with the beta software. We plan to invite 500 more in a week or so, and we hope to invite everyone by the end of the coming month.

@buckZor, thanks for that link to the forum post. I was going off the upgrade policy that's detailed on their license page https://agilebits.com/home/licenses. You'll see that their upgrade policy is somewhat open-ended (they may or may not allow a free upgrade to the next major version) so I'm glad to see it in writing.

We have a long history of very liberal interpretation of the term "recent" in applying the free upgrade policy to recent purchases. :)

Will the Windows version ever look as elegant as the Mac? I am using the latest beta and while its nice to have some of the 1Pass for Mac functionality finally, it's still a horribly ugly application on Windows. It looks even worse on my Surface Pro 3 for some reason. Please overhaul it.

Hi @buckZor,
If you're using it on Surface Pro 3, the high DPI screen might be the issue. Can you try the settings in this article and see if it'll make the app look better.

What is so horrible about this?

@svondutch: How about the way it uses different styles everywhere? Top bar are mostly monochrome, sidebar is colored and has icons at the bottom that have dark/light monochrome icons. Item header and content has stylised cutout icons and a gradient background whereas top bar is flat. But above all very few of these styles fit in with Windows' native style overall. Just pick one style and stick with it for the whole app.
Oh and the app should definitely support DPI scaling properly. 4K monitors are coming out in masses at decent prices so eventually the lack of DPI scaling support will be a bigger issue.

@svondutch: may I suggest you rethink that policy? I am firmly of the view that applications should look native to the platform they are running on. Yes, keep the same layout and icon designs, but the Mac version should by styled like other Mac programs, and the Windows version should be styled like other Windows programs. Otherwise it looks like a clumsy port from one platform to the other, which doesn't go down well with users.
Just my view, of course.

Hi guys,
If you're on a high-DPI screen, try these changes, it will render mostly right on high-DPI screens. Unfortunately, there are some limitations we're dealing with on Windows that does not make it possible to support high DPI all the way and to have that support by default. We'll keep working on it but there isn't one clear solution for this.
As for the interface, we're still working on it to improve the consistency of the design across the entire app.
