Deeply disappointed with the switch to Electron
I've used 1Password almost since the very beginning. The fact that it was a native Mac app was one of the many reasons I've supported it and recommended it to others over the years. As more and more ...
I'm trying to be open-minded but it’s not doing it for me. Vault switching is visually glitchy and quick access doesn’t always focus the search box. Comes close, but it’s just not as slick as the Swift UI app.
It’s also far too slow to open the extension in Safari. The pop-up needs to come up instantly. This will need to be fixed, or else I will have to look at alternatives.
Final gripe: Sometimes when you open it after the vault is locked, it flashes a blank white page (as if the HTML hasn’t been loaded). This is just one example of an Electron-specific problem that wouldn’t happen on a Swift UI app.
Electron is great for some applications. But it shouldn't be used for anything serious. Spotify and Sublime Text are examples of cross-platform apps that don't use this platform, and a reason why they stand out from their competitors. It's hard to distinguish 1Password from Bitwarden now.
