New Product Request: 1Password for Linux [In Progress]
Comments

@bwitt, @92FLHTCU, @daff, @LanceHaverkamp: Thanks for your interest! In fact, as incredibly profitable as it might be for us to crank out a Linux version now, it would be wrong — and certainly not the first class experience you'd expect from us and that we expect from ourselves. As much as folks may be ready to throw money at us, I think we'll all be better served by AgileBits sticking with "not now" unless or until we're able to to it right.

What a pity. This tells me that there are no plans for a Linux client at all.
Hopefully the other password management companies out there aren't as short sighted.

I too am a LastPass user on Linux looking for an alternative. I too am disappointed that you apparently have no plans for a native linux client.

Interestingly, Enpass how has browser extension support in their latest beta. They don't do credit card or identity filling yet but I would imagine that that won't be long. Agilebits really needs to watch its back; the young upstart is catching up fast.

I'm another LastPass user on linux looking for an alternative. As you don't support linux, I guess I'm still looking. Seems like a spectacularly missed opportunity on your part.

@RichardPayne, I found Enpass yesterday as well. If they get their browser extensions signed with Mozilla, they'll most likely get my business as well. From what I can see, it does exactly what I need in a password management package.

@92FLHTCU I think they're supposed to be. Email their support and see what comes back.

Nope. Not yet. I went to install over the weekend and Firefox complained about an unsigned extension. So until that happens, it won't go on the machine. However, as soon as they are signed, Enpass will most likely get my business and donations.

+1 for Linux.
I left 1 Password for not being cross-platform enough and switched to lastpass. Now looking for alternatives again.
How impossible can it be to create a linux application or cross-platform browser plugin...?0 -
@binaranomaly the 1Password browser extensions work fine on Linux. It's just the native app that's missing.

The downside with Enpass is that you have to run the full desktop client all the time, otherwise the browser extension won't work.
They don't, as yet, have a "mini" or "agent" that runs in the background for the extension to function - at least that's the case with Mac OS X

I just signed up to say that I'm another Linux user trying to dig my way out of the lastpass sale. I would have gone with you guys in the first place if you'd had Linux support when I was first looking for a password manager, as I have Mac friends who love it. I know you guys are big into having a quality UI, but I'm going to say, with KDE, Gnome, Unity, Mate, Cinnamon as just a handful of the desktops around, we're pretty flexible about things not always quite looking 100%. Also, android is just a tiny little linux, and OSX is just some extra shiny BSD. You're deep into the NIX family anyway, come over and visit us on the Linux side.

@entropic_reversal: Okay, that actually sounds really appealing. If and when there's a 1Password for Linux, we are totally having a barbecue! :yum:

I've long argued that the 1Password full application and the browser interface should be two aspects of the same process, not two separate things.

That's pretty much ancient history. Apple have moved their APIs on so much from the BSD base as to make it unrecognisable. The Android API is all Java based and Java doesn't exactly have a stunning reputation in the Linux world.

@RichardPayne: Well, sure. But it's cool that such different platforms have a common heritage. At least I think so. Why can't we all just get along? :blush:

@RichardPayne The plugin is useless without the helper, whereas lastpass just works...
0 -
Yes @binaranomaly, I know that. My point was simply that the extension itself works fine in Chrome and Firefox on Linux. I know, I've tested them both.

Indeed @brenty. So when's 1Password for Linux due out? :-P

Touché.

Do votes for this even count? Considering this thread is 5 years old :|

Basically being a Linux & 1Pass user, hurts my privacy pretty significantly..
When I was using the Lastpass, I had my passwords accessible from any platform and so had no reason to remember a single password. Once moved to the 1Password, I tend to store the passwords in the browser again, so I don't have to dig them in that stupid javascript version and copy paste them like an idiot to the password field.
Having no Linux version is nowadays nothing but a retrograde approach worth early 2000s, having no rational argument behind, but ignoring your customers.
Why the hell the other companies can but you can't? Maybe they simply want to.....0 -
@maara If you're in a pinch and want to try another password manager, try Keeper Password & Digital Vault. Like all managers, there are pros and cons (the biggest con being, imo, the yearly subscription). You can use their standalone browser extension on any OS, and they also offer the Desktop client for Linux. Importing and exporting should be fairly simple as well. I just started using 1Password, I like it a lot so far, but there are many shortcomings, lack of Linux support being one of them.

@lgreen_chi: Yes. Votes let us know who is interested; more detailed feedback tells us what in particular people are looking for; but neither guarantees that we have the resources at any given time to develop, document, and support an additional platform. :blush:

@maara: We're a small team, and our focus is to continue supporting our existing platforms. So the answer is still "not now". I'm sorry that this isn't the answer you're looking for, but that's the reality. You may not realize it, but you really wouldn't want us to do this if we're not in a position to do it right. Now that's rational. ;)

@brenty
Yes but you are not in that position for many years... During that time, lots of eye candy features were introduced and when comparing them with introducing another os support, they were nothing but waste of time. Your small team is ignoring the fact that the world doesn't end with osx and windows for a quite long time what was sustainable few years ago, but not any longer... :-(
Sorry brenty, but your applications are quite expensive and I don't believe you couldn't afford to growth your team and listen to your customer needs...0 -
@maara: Indeed, in addition to OS X and Windows we support iOS and Android. Only you can judge what is a waste of your time, and I thank you to let us make the same determination for ourselves. Incidentally, we have grown our team significantly. But of course we started with two. Cheers! :lol:

I would love to see 1password on linux!

There's not much magic involved nowadays supporting cross-platform desktop and also linux. Others Github (Atom), Microsoft (Visual Studio), ... show that it is possible, if there's a will.

I'd love a Linux version

@cade, @dm206: Thanks for your interest! I hope that we'll be able to expand the 1Password family to include Linux someday! :chuffed:
@binaranomaly: I'm not sure that's the way we'd want to go, but that is pretty damn sexy! Definitely worth considering. :eh:
