1Password embeds tracking pixels in its newsletters. You can subscribe to their newsletter through their website. The tracking pixel should be included in your subscription confirmation email.

[image] anon24306951: 1Password includes tracking pixels in their newsletters. We typically don’t add warnings for things outside of the apps we recommend (e.g. marketing pages, storefronts, newsletters, etc.). We previously discussed this issue when we recommended the Google Pixel and linke…

It’s not needed. A few powerusers that need or are used to some features that aren’t really used that much by regular people shouldn’t gatekeep this removal. After all, PG is all about privacy, security, freedom, and digital rights? Not about recommending the most convenient and powerful tools.

Meanwhile, I tend to agree. I still believe that 1Password is the best password manager available, but when it comes to Privacy Guides, we should prioritize privacy aspects when recommending tools.

Does have integration with privacy(.)com

The main idea is not to eliminate 1Password because it lacks privacy or is a poor product, but rather to add a criterion that recommended password managers should be open source. This would necessitate removing 1Password, along with Strongbox, if Privacy Guides wants to maintain consistency. Let me…

Does any of what you said go against the criteria as currently constructed? No. Should we be removing a tool based on criteria that has not been approved? No. It seems like this is a cart before the horse conversation. People seem to want to remove 1Password based on a set of criteria that is not …
