Which 1Password should I use? [as many as you like!]

kludge

I've been using 1Password on 3 platforms since 2011. I love your product and depend on it all the time. It has also really helped me improve my security, since I'm no longer reusing the same 3 passwords everywhere.

I just got a Surface Book and I am wondering if I should be using the Windows 10 app (1P-UWP) or 1Password for Windows 4 (1P-W4). Currently I use 1PMac 6.0.1, 1PiOS 6.2.1 and 1P-W4 4.6.0.598 (on Win10). I sync through Dropbox at /1Password.agilekeychain, so I assume I am not using the OPVault format, although some other posts seem to imply I might have the new format and the old name.

Anyway, should I make the move to 1P-UWP now or wait for it to go GA. I'm a little nervous about manually converting the store. However, I would love to see more of the OSX and iOS features available on Windows. (And to be totally honest, I will be starting with 1P-W4 (installing while I type) while I wait for a reply, since I'm totally dependent on your tool to autofill my 20+ length passwords. ;)

Thanks.

@kludge I'd recommend to use both 1P4W and 1P-UWP :) Both have pros and cons.

1P4W is capable of filling your passwords to web browsers and that is the reason you want to have it.

1P-UWP is relatively new, it supports both .agilekeychain and .opvault with Dropbox/OneDrive/folder sync and it supports 1Password for Teams. 1P-UWP can fill logins inside 1Browser (internal browser), we are working to make it able to fill passwords in other browsers too, but that is not here yet. 1Browser in fact is running Edge inside. We would love to hear your feedback on 1P-UWP (actually, any feedback is welcome).

P.S. Congrats on Surface Book, good machine and iris scanner works with 1P-UWP nicely.

1Password 4 for Windows will always create a vault using the extension (.agilekeychain or .opvault) that matches the format. So, unless you manually changed the extension in File Explorer for some reason, that .agilekeychain extension means you're using the Agile Keychain format.

Of course, as @SergeyTheAgile mentions, both 1Password 4 for Windows and the 1Password beta app for Windows 10 can use both formats, so you should be good to go.

@kludge, I just want to add a big "Thank you!" for your kind comments and for using 1Password.

If you decide to jump into the 1Password beta team, be sure to give us your feedback, here in the forum!

Enjoy your weekend!
