4 years agoJust commenting to agree with the others in this thread disappointed with the use of Electron for 1Password 8 for Mac for reasons already mentioned. I'm trying to give 1P8 for Mac EA a chance but I've been getting increasingly annoyed with how it now behaves due to being an Electron app.
I've been a user since 2008 and preferred using the standalone versions. However, I was OK with moving to a subscription due to 1Password being a great native macOS app, but now... well, if it continues down this path I guess its time to start looking into alternatives. I also use 1Password on Windows and while I appreciate that the Electron app is an improvement over the old Windows app, my main OS is macOS and having the macOS app experience worsened is not acceptable to me.
Hopefully a native 1Password app for macOS makes a return, even if we have to put up with an Electron app interim version like what happened with Arq Backup version 6, since in that case we can at least (probably) continue to use the native 1Password 7 app in the meantime.
