Thanks! | mroche wrote: | Doing a quick scan through the linked thread and the final | screenshot that this post's title is about (re: delisting | forums posts)... the issue isn't criticism of the new app | version per se (there is some) but the fact it's not available | in Apple's Mac App Store (it is in the iOS App Store). | | The screenshot just shows the thread as visible from the | "latest post" view, but doesn't actually show up in the Mac | forum area. | mdaniel wrote: | If one looks at all the brew-haha over DDG delisting some | search results, it's the same thing: no one likes having | pseudo-censorship applied to what seemed like a good-faith | ~~rant~~ forum thread. There didn't seem to be any obvious | illegal content or ad hominem attacks that would warrent | delisting the thread, and thus from the outside it looks like | "sour grapes" when AgileBits had their feelings hurt | | That said, it seems to be some custom(?) forum software, so | there could also be a perfectly reasonable explanation that | just _looks_ shady | ilrwbwrkhv wrote: | Moved away from 1password a long time back. 1password 5 was the | last good product. Then they raised a bunch of money and went the | usual VC route of losing control of the company. | | Bitwarden is a superior replacement in every way. | mdaniel wrote: | > Bitwarden is a superior replacement in every way | | I'm going to regret sticking my nose into this, because BW is | the Internet's darling, but that is demonstrably untrue unless | one's password management needs are extremely simple | | One can dislike AgileBits as a business all they like, but BW | has a _long way to go_ before it 's a superior replacement | ilrwbwrkhv wrote: | Maybe I should clarify. My experience with BW has been as a | personal password manager. And it is superior to 1P in that | category. | barbs wrote: | Which features is BitWarden missing? | gehsty wrote: | If you are majority apple eco system apples password manager is | great now! | mdaniel wrote: | it may be worth asking in "the Lounge" for an explanation, which | would offer them an opportunity to explain themselves and, at | least until the lounge thread gets delisted, make others aware of | that behavior: https://1password.community/categories/general- | lounge | | that said, as someone who has offered them repeated and what I | feel is constructive feedback during the Mac and Android beta | periods, I can attest they DGAF about what you think about their | things. That sweet private equity money invites you to pound sand | TIPSIO wrote: | For desktop... it's definitely kind a bit more of a frustrating | experience. I can definitely elaborate but the gist is it is just | more painful / slower to get to passwords. I for the first time | ever, installed their Chrome extension. | | For mobile... it's incredibly fast. I have never had an app scan | my face and unlock. It's worth shouting out those devs. | monocularvision wrote: | The mobile app is still fully native. | replete wrote: | Switched away from 1password recently after 10 years. Open-source | KeepassXC almost as good. No regrets. | | Every Electron app uses around 400MB RAM. It's not practical for | too may of your day-to-day essential applications to be greedy | with resources, it all adds up and not everyone has 32GB of RAM. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-08-25 23:00 UTC)
