Electron
This discussion was created from comments split from: 1PW8 for macOS.
With macOS 12's Keychain and password improvements (including support for 2FA) it's finally reached a "good enough" state. It seems like an even more important time to maintain an alternative to Keychain that has a clear value proposition, not dilute and diminish the experience as 1P8 does.
I work in software. I get the attraction and the efficiencies of switching to a single codebase and it's not hard to rationalize a switch to Electron. But building native apps used to be part of the cost of doing business on the Mac and it's sad Agilebits has decided it's no longer worth the investment.
I'm running the macOS 12 beta so I'm going to give Keychain a shot to see how well it works. Now that there are ways to use iCloud passwords on Windows (via the Chrome extension) it seems possible that 1Password may rebuild its way into irrelevance for most people.
(PS. History has proven that very few good things have come from the statement "we tossed out everything and started over from scratch.")
