Anyone can learn to be a developer and anyone can learn to run a business, it’s a matter of priorities. Obviously they are not telling every single person reading the article to build a solution, more like rally support for a new solution to be built. Either way there are many FOSS password managers in the works that could surely benefit from your support such as passbolt (not recommended here), or psono.
Nice misinformation. They specifically lowered prices almost immediately due to high demand allowing them to reach economies of scale quicker than anticipated. Source.
Anyways, this is becoming extremely off-topic from the original post.
It is called marketing, nothing more. They didn‘t share how many new customers they got only for Proton Pass, right? Majority of the customer base is already getting it via Unlimited, Duo and Visionary packages and even in year 2024 (soon to be 2025) they are unable to offer multiple memberships for one account
I’ll reiterate - I consider it a lower quality article. There may be some truths, but I’m taking it with a grain of salt. I’ll agree to disagree with any further points.
I think you might be holding this article to a unreasonable standard.
1 - its a blog post from 2 years ago
2 - the author admits its all conjecture
3 - it seems like the main point is not to offer an alternative to BW but to make readers “cautious of what can happen”
then again these might be reasons to consider it low quality in the first place
I think it should be removed, but not because it’s proprietary nature. This discussion leads to nowhere, as both sides have significant arguments for and against.
The reason for removing 1Password is that 1Password isn’t working well with the current PrivacyGuides recommendations.
It is impossible to login using FIDO security key on GrapheneOS, without GAPPS - 1Password is dependent on Google. Yubikey works with my Bitwarden perfectly without GAPPS.
QR code scanner for OTP codes is not working as well, as it is again, Google dependent.
1Password Linux app is not using Wayland. It’s still on X.
1Password Linux Firefox extension doesn’t work on Flatpak. You’re forced to use FF provided in the repos, which are quite often outdated.
On summary, since PG is recommending GrapheneOS and Linux, and 1Password is not working good with both, I think it should be removed.
That’s probably because FIDO requires Play Services to function on GOS as of now. I think I saw somewhere that the GOS team wants to implement a method for it to work without Play Services but have been dedicating resources elsewhere for other features.
I sent my email to 1Password encrypted with PGP.
Then I got this reply.
I’m afraid your email was empty on our end and the attachment couldn’t be opened.
Could you tell us a bit more about what you’re experiencing or how we might assist?
They have published their own PGP keys, but not only do they not know how to use them, they don’t even seem to know what PGP is in the first place.
This raises serious questions about their technical capabilities. Do they really respect privacy and security?
