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

We would like to have an LINUX version for 1Password too !!!!
Not too difficult for Agilebits because there is an Android version already (= Linux too)..

I own the Mac version, I have purchased it for IOS, I use the fee version on my Android phone. I would love purchase another licence for my Debian based Linux laptop. I use LastPass there but since they got acquired I am looking around for something better.

+1 linux. Ubuntu in particular

Thank you all for your extra votes! We know that our Linux users are very passionate :)

Yes! Please! My love for Apple is fading and I completely dislike Windows 10. One of these days I may have to jump the ship and switch to Linux. I've been playing with various distros for years and one thing I will miss for sure in Linux would be 1Password. I'm willing to pay for separate Linux product. I don't expect it for free.

Another vote for Linux support.
I currently am Ubuntu LTS at work and home, with Windows and Mac as side things only. I am effectively forced to use LastPass as there are no alternatives for native linux and Android whilst also supporting Windows and Mac.
The moment 1Password support for Linux is available myself and my colleagues will be able to ditch LastPass and migrate over.

I am currently using a 17" MacBook Pro Late 2011. Since I don't expect anything in the near future that can replace it, regarding screen size and upgradeability/reparability, I am thinking about switching to Linux.
The first thing what came into my mind was looking on your website if there is a Linux client of 1Password.
So I found this thread and in this thread an alternative, that nearly looks and works very similar like 1Password on OS X.
It's also available as App Store and website version, has browser extensions, iOS and Android apps, more sync options and everything of that is for free.So please hurry up before I have to switch to Linux and your competitors! :p I really love 1Password and want to stay with you... :'(

Your votes are all being added! We appreciate the passion and support for 1Password :)

+1 on a Linux port.
Don't worry yourselves about the plethora of distributions. Pick the two or three big families to support (e.g., Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat/Centos/Fedora) as a packaged solution, and then offer the binaries for download for someone who has a different distro to install at their own risk unsupported.
For the company to grow, you need a bigger customer base. Linux on the desktop is becoming a more frequent reality, especially with with the hard-core "techy" users -- many of whom are the people who will be making the evaluation decisions for a product for their user base. Reading through the forums this morning I saw someone asking about licensing for a 250-seat call center. Universities like mine (10,000+ staff) are starting to look at large-scale licensing of password managers for their staff to improve their security posture. Corporations are doing the same. They are going to be looking at things like which desktop platforms are supported. Investing in a dedicated developer to work on this now will pay for itself in a year or two. IMHO.

Hey, I've been using 1password on a iOS device and would love to be able to use it on my desktop (Linux Mint) as well!

Lack of a Linux version is likely to prevent my company from adopting 1Password for Teams.
Some of our team use Linux on the desktop because they need a level of accessibility that neither OS X nor Windows currently offer - they're basically unable to use a mouse (or trackpad, for that matter) at all, and have to do everything via the keyboard.
Although it's possible for them to use 1Password for Windows via a VM, this isn't ideal and still requires them to use a system which more or less requires a mouse - so is a complete non-starter for them.
The rest of the team would be fine, but we can't exclude these people.

@StephenOrr: You're absolutely right! Accessibility is something that needs to be considered, much more than simply the 'convenience' of a native app.
While we don't have a native Linux version of 1Password, what we do have is a web interface in addition to 1Password for Teams support in the native apps. While it it's too early to say for certain, perhaps this can be expanded with keyboard support similar to something like Gmail, which could make it more accessible and also more useful for those of us regularly spreading our work across multiple computers where we don't necessarily even have the luxury of installing an app. Thanks for bringing this up! :)

+1 for Linux (espacially Ubuntu) version of 1Password
I am using it in WINE atm and the browser extension key shortcut does not work even though I disabled the BrowserCheck0 -
+1 for Linux (Ubuntu).
0 -
+1 for platform portability. I want to have the freedom to choose my OS without having to change my password tool.

@snakyjake, @mindgam3s, @weberwithoneb: Thanks for your votes! We don't currently have a native Linux app, but depending on your needs you might be interested in 1Password for Teams.
It's currently in beta, so right now the web client is read-only; but we're looking forward to adding editing and other features there as development progresses. Cheers! :)

Got the newsletter today, lots of great stuff coming from the 1password development team. Except the one thing they need in the worst way. A native Linux client. Its a shame that your priorities are out of wack
0 -
1Password for teams looks great, but without a native Linux client I'm not sure we can go for it.
I guess what I'm saying is:
+1 for Linux client.
0 -
Another +1 for a Linux client. We have five members in our dev team, two of whom use Linux. If there was a Linux client, I'm confident that we'd sign up for 1Password for Teams.
With so much interest in a Linux client, I wonder what's holding Agilebits back. Any news?
0 -
+1 for the linux client, but I think you could try a different approach
Why not start with a simple helper for the 1P browser extension, that is able to access a local 1P vault file?
For me that would be enough atm moment, I can manage my passwords from my mac, one of my PCs or my android phone or my ipad (that depends on how much money I want to shell out :P) but I need to at least read and save from everywhere.
You already have 1passwordanywhere, the missing link is accessing it from browser, or the command line (an awesome feature would be CLI access to secure notes which could contain ssh keys)
ATM moment lastpass has this, even a CLI application ( https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli) but it's UI is awful, that's why I decided to return to 1P, but I have to admin that linux support is a missing feature for mePS
in the meantime an interesting idea could be packaging 1P with wine for redhat and debian based distros (I use centos, so I need RPM) for example Teamviewer did that for their version 11PPS
@brenty about 1password for teams
what will be the pricing? any chance to have a slimmed down version for single users as a backend for syncing different platforms(in addition to sync methods already in place)? (maybe using a second factor auth like yubikey and/or fingerprint reader for added security)0 -
Thanks for the additional votes, and feedback, folks.
With regard to 1Password for Teams:
what will be the pricing?
We have not announced pricing yet. During the beta period there is no charge for 1Password for Teams.

+1 for a native client! I use 1Password daily on macbook and iphone, but my main rig runs linux, so i have to use the dropbox web version, thats still somewhat lacking compared to a full desktop client.

Understood, and agreed. :)

Dear AgileBits team,
I'm extremely disappointed that we've gone five years and 25 pages of posts requesting a Linux build. I know that both myself and my company would be happy to purchase copies of 1Password for Linux, yet there is not so much as an inch of progress on this or even a Chrome App (which runs anywhere Chrome does).
As someone who has been using 1Password for about a year on my Mac and Windows machines, it is infuriating for me to be locked to an Operating System that none of my coworkers use because I picked 1Password as my primary password store. I keep attempting to work on my Linux desktops, and find myself blocked due to not knowing the password to anything. I don't believe I can even say WINE is a good solution, as it's unsupported and with scattered reports of brokenness; I don't even want to try.
It is understood that telling Linux users to try 1Password Anywhere is a joke; the read-only view of my password manager is not helpful on a desktop, the primary device used for signing up for services. The web-only view is also slow and very clunky to grab data out of, should it even work.
I feel like a company that can offer great iOS, Android, Mac, and two Windows versions of their software should be able to at least recommend something for read/write access to their own format on Linux. I don't even care if it's terminal only; as long as I can read, write, and copy the fields to my browser and terminals.
What will it take to get a solid answer between "No, we're never going to do this," and "We kinda wanna do this, but not that badly". The lack of Linux information is insulting to sysadmins and Linux users overall. Do you really want to condemn a large portion a place like Silicon Valley to KeyPass and LastPass?
A bitter fan and upset sysadmin,

(PS: No, a cloud-sync service like 1Password for Teams does not help me out in this case.)

@SnoFox: I understand that you're disappointed that we haven't released a native Linux version of 1Password, but keep in mind that the length of this thread doesn't make the argument you're saying it does: even if we're able to sell one license for every post here (and many of them are from AgileBits staff and other repeat posters), that's still only triple digit sales, and wouldn't do much to cover development and support costs for an new platform. Are there more people who'd be interested? Probably. But I think it's safe to say that neither of us is in a position to know for certain, so I think it's best to avoid jumping to conclusions.

You really don't know. If and when there is a 1Password for Linux, it will just be available one day. We don't discuss future plans publicly, as things often change.
I feel like a company that can offer great iOS, Android, Mac, and two Windows versions of their software should be able to at least recommend something for read/write access to their own format on Linux. I don't even care if it's terminal only; as long as I can read, write, and copy the fields to my browser and terminals.
We don't have the resources to do that right now, no matter how much we might want to. It isn't a foregone conclusion that "1Password for Linux" would be awesome. If we don't put the blood and sweat into it that necessary to achieve that, it would, quite frankly, suck. That's why we haven't done so. And that's why 1Password is great on so many other platforms: we've continued to focus and invest our resources on each.

(PS: No, a cloud-sync service like 1Password for Teams does not help me out in this case.)That's fine! WINE, 1Password for Teams, and 1PasswordAnywhere aren't meant as 'Linux solutions'; they're simply available options that you can use if you find them useful to you. And if you don't, well...then don't! If we hadn't developed them, you'd have fewer options, but it almost sounds like you resent their existence. In a world with no 1Password, you would be in the exact same position in regards to Linux: no 1Password. And I'm grateful to have 1Password somewhere as opposed to having 1Password nowhere.
Similarly, I don't think it's fair to accuse AgileBits as a company or 1Password for Mac and Windows of 'locking' you out of something on another platform. That's like expecting a Win32 app to do something for you on Mac OS 9. Having great functionality in one place only guarantees you'll have access to it there; it doesn't make it universal, although maybe someday everything will be ubiquitous — truly write once, run everywhere. Java had its chance. For now, in order to make truly awesome software, it needs to be developed natively for each platform, and we aren't able to tackle a new one.
What will it take to get a solid answer between "No, we're never going to do this," and "We kinda wanna do this, but not that badly". The lack of Linux information is insulting to sysadmins and Linux users overall. Do you really want to condemn a large portion a place like Silicon Valley to KeyPass and LastPass?
A 'lack of information' on a product which isn't available is definitely not an insult, although I supposed you're entitled to take offense wherever you choose. But this would be like getting angry at Apple for not telling us about the Apple Car or Apple TV Set: it would be a little deranged to get people's hopes up prematurely for something that may be a long way off, or to talk about something that may never see the light of day.
I understand that you really love 1Password, and therefore it frustrates you to not have access to it wherever you want. You depend on 1Password, and that's definitely something we have in common: when I need to grab something quick and don't have a device in hand, I grit my teeth a bit. And for that reason AgileBits will never release a Linux version of 1Password unless we're able to put the time and energy into it needed to make it as awesome as you and I would both expect it to be. I'm sorry to say that today is not that day. But would you really prefer that we rule it out completely if we're not able to do it right now? Even if you do, I suspect there are some people who might feel differently. So we'll stick with "not now".

@brenty 2 things first:
1) It's great to talk directly with someone that is involved in developing 1P
2) I understand the point you are making.
But I don't know if it's the correct approach, as I said, I understand that you don't have resource to dedicate to linux right now, but you could dedicate a little bit of love to 1Panywhere, and maybe publish a solid API to interface with it and let the developer community do what knows best.
Frankly I'm facing a lot of challenges getting back to 1P (I'm publishing something to the forum about that later) because of syncing and using different platform, and I think that 1Pa approach could be a solution also for unsupported platforms0
