Pretty sure I'd stick with 1password until my end of days if there was linux support. The auto-filling browser extension is the pinnacle of convenience. That's my kind of jam -- convenience and laziness. Keeping track of passwords? Who does that? I get by with the browser UI, but it's inconvenient. And it compounds over time. It's chipping away at the pinnacle, really. Am I going to keep track of a dedicated 1password tab every day, until the day I die? Every now and then, after a session of tab-switching, I google '1password linux.' The lack of real support there has started triggering a '1password alternatives linux," google. This chain of inconvenience-driven googling has an end, but will it be at 1password? 38 pages of "nothing yet" comments over 7 years really paints an impression.

It's something I'd like as well, but our first priority has to be the platforms we already support. That's where our responsibility lies. I don't have any news for you on the Linux front. Sorry.

Here's another vote for Linux support. With the advent of cross platform development frameworks like Electron (see https://electron.atom.io ), perhaps this is something that can be reconsidered by the Agilebits team. Electron is the framework that has bought us Slack on every platform...

We had actually looked at using Electron to build an app a while ago. There's some interesting stuff there.

Another +1 here. My company is blocking LastPass and I'm considering 1password (which works - don't ask me why one does and the other doesn't... :/ ), but the lack of Linux support is an issue for me moving over...

We don't generally copy and paste our responses. :tongue:

Great! You're very welcome. :)

Hi
At the rate that the Team is going with 1Password for Linux, I would say never say never, but who knows? :) I would prefer to see features like Security Audit like on the Mac completely available elsewhere first and that's taking a long time.
Even if 1Password does become available on Linux, at the rate that 1Password for Windows is going to reach parity (1Password v1, v4 and v6) with the Mac version, 1Password for Linux will take even longer.

Indeed. It certainly isn't a trivial undertaking.

+1000, really interesting on this.

So has there been any progress on this? There are alternatives to 1password that are making serious strides in functionality (eg: Enpass) and do have wide platform support. Right now the only thing preventing me from jumping ship is that 1password has features no one else has (namely, being able to access multiple vaults simultaneously). Using some web interface isn't really sufficient. If I wanted to go that route, I would have used LastPass or whatever.
I mean, it doesn't even have to be full featured with browser extensions and whatnot. Just being able to sync, and have basic editing of my vault would go very far to make me happy.

@ilsa: I'm not sure what you mean. We haven't announced a Linux product.

It's something we'd like ourselves, but we don't have any news to share in this area right now.

What I mean, is I wanted to know if a Linux client was even on the roadmap yet. I want to use Linux far more than I have been, but 1password is one of my must-have applications, which makes Linux a non-starter for me.

As much as I would love to see one, I see the point. The Linux market share is extremely small. Looking at wiki on it now, Linux has 1.43% while windows has 36.81%. macOS has 5% and iOS has 13.46%, while Android has 38.98%
Of that 1.43% for Linux users, how many would actually use a password manager, let alone 1Password?

@prime: To play devil's advocate, I'd say that folks using desktop Linux are probably more likely to use a password manager than, say, the average mobile-only user. That said, while it's fun to think about things like this, it just isn't in the cards for us right now to pursue a whole new platform. But it's absolutely the kind of thing we'll have to take into account in the future. :)

So I guess the Linux-compatible client project has been terminated?

I'm checking in on this thread, since I recently did jump ship and adopt 1Password. My last comment was December 2015, when I first started kicking the proverbial 1Password tires.
I still would love to see a native Linux client, but as a software developer myself, I understand completely that you work on what they pay you to work on. I'll keep hoping!

I also agree with your comment about desktop Linux users being more likely to use password managers.
Although Linux has come a long way on the desktop, it's still nowhere near as polished as macOS or Windows.
It's my observation that your average desktop Linux user is more technical than your average Windows/Mac user, and more likely to be concerned with security best practices.

Indeed, that makes me feel more optimistic than I would otherwise. Cheers! :)
