[image] Skiff Pages/Drive (Productivity Tools) We require both productivity tools and notebooks to be open-source This is interesting requirement considering that you recommend 1Password, a closed source password manager that arguably protects even more sensitive data. So, your stricter requir…

Here’s a new one. TL;DR: All of the major cloud-based password managers suffered a serious vulnerability. Proton Pass has already fixed it and Bitwarden soon will. 1Password and LastPass don’t care. KeePass is unaffected :smiley: . [image] Zero-Day Clickjacking Vulnerabilit…

[image] anon11657877: Bitwarden soon will Do you think that stealing a payment card or personal data with a single click is a high severity issue? Bitwarden sees this vulnerability slightly differently. Maybe it could be reason why it was not fixed even after more than 4 months. Where was…

If you’re using Bitwarden, an update (2025.8.0) is coming later this week. The thing is that this vulnerability, relying on clickjacking (but not only), has been fixed by many other password managers like Proton, NordPass, Dashlane, etc. This means that this specific issue is fixable. And both …

avoidance again. The point is 1Password isn’t the only manager playing fast and loose here but you don’t want that smoke when its a precious FOSS program. Anyway this is off topic, and should really be discussed in the thread you link.

At least Bitwarden is going to make a fix soon while 1Password isn’t. Turns out 1Password isn’t as competent as everyone here thought. [image] anonymous378: Anyway this is off topic, and should really be discussed in the thread you link. We’re discussing the removal of 1Password and the requ…

[image] anon11657877: We’re discussing the removal of 1Password and the requirement of open source for password managers aren’t we? Yeah but both this issue and the removal of 1Password are separate topics with their own threads. [image] anon11657877: 1Password and LastPass don’t care. K…

[image] anon11657877: At least Bitwarden is going to make a fix soon Bitwarden just released their fix. 1Password still hasn’t.

Not sure this adds much to this already very long thread but I am in favour of this proposal. I think recommending proprietary tools makes sense in categories where there are not many trusted open source options but in the password manager section we do now have multiple options and I can’t see any…

Cloud password managers are a life saver for anyone dealing working in complex business and hundreds, if not thousands, of passwords. Alas, a local KeePass is almost always better in a case of a public vulnerability like the one I shared in the other thread. That being said, I won’t lie that I don’…

Official reply from 1P Hi all, Thanks for all the questions and the thoughtful discussion. We wanted to provide a bit more context about the research and what it means for 1Password users. A researcher identified a variation of a clickjacking attack, where a malicious website can trick someone in…

Yeah but both this issue and the removal of 1Password are separate topics with their own threads.
