Have been using 1PW for 11 years and agree that it is fantastic. I’ve used other similar tools at work, but 1PW is the most reliable. Not even made about the subscription
Here’s something funny, I once told a Mac Genius (in an Apple Store) that I used 1Password and he said, that’s not a good idea, you should have more than 1. He’d never heard of 1Password!!! Genius, I don’t think so. Like your standing desk.
Hi Mark, The only reason i haven't shifted to 1password from keychain is that keychain fills your password only when using touchID whereas 1password auto-fills it every time you open a website for which it is saved. e.g if I log out of my Facebook account and give my laptop to my brother to use, in keychain he will not be able to login to my FB in the same browser without my fingerprint, whereas in 1password its already auto-filled and he just has to press login to enter my FB, in 1passowrd its pre-authorized if it makes sense, wheres in keychain you autofill only by using touchID. Does 1password have any setting which makes it same as Keychain
In your case, Jim, you probably shouldn't! I think, over time, you may yearn for more functionality, in which case it makes sense to look at what the likes of 1Password could do for you.
What if you have 2 computers? Or you're out of town and using someone else's computer? Or you want to save all of your software keys and things like that? Or you just want to encourage businesses to keep making things?
Fantastic video. Your point of view and delivery is something I value and appreciate. One note for you on your podcast. I really enjoy listening to you and Rob, but sometimes you have a guest who is not using a quality microphone and that person can sound “tinny” and I end up having to stop the podcast. I don’t think the show is better with guests but if you do have them you may consider asking them in advance about their setup. All the best to you!
Thanks for such lovely comments! And yes, that is a challenge with having guests on the podcast (although it isn’t their fault). Rob and I take great pride in our audio which is why there’s often such a gulf in quality. In reality, though, ensuring top notch audio from a remote guest is challenging and, as always, I believe it’s the content that matters. I’d argue that some of the guest episodes we’ve had have been the best - I’d hate for you to miss out on them 😉
I am leaning towards 1Password. But, I can't find an answer to this question: what happens when I am not home. My work requires that I use their computer/s every day. How can I use 1Password on a "foreign" computer?
Thanks....making the switch to 1P 8. But my one criticism is that 1P only offers email support......with no phone support. I had a problem that took 18 email exchanges and about 2 weeks to resolve.....that probably could have been handled in a 10 minute phone call with screen sharing. I dread the day that I have a 1P hack or breach and desperately need support to help me stave off disaster.
1Password 8 = double the resources (memory), search is broken, no default vault option. v8 is a major downgrade and shouldnt be released as final. If its not contain all the same options of v7 then why Agilebits release it?
It's not double the resources - it's actually about triple. The main app may be around 60-80 MB, but add in all the mandatory helpers, renderers, and extensions, and memory is gobbled up.
@@aidanbazan7769 I never said anything about how much memory just the helper uses. Did you check the renderers and extensions that 1PW needs to run? You might want to do that. Add them all up, and 1PW 8 uses a lot more memory than v7 does, which is something the developer acknowledges as well.
How can we believe what you say when it's a sponsor? Personally I find Keychain which is built into most Apple devices perfectly adequate and it's free!
Your choice of whether to ‘believe’ me or not is entirely up to you, Phil. But my advice is always genuine. And I agree that Keychain is more than enough for a lot of people.
Great video! I recently switched from LastPass to 1Password. I just got tired of seeing/hearing videos and podcasts about the LastPass hack. From a usability standpoint in 2023 I judge them to be equivalent, which is a good thing since LastPass was very easy to use. I only have two gripes. The 1Password app on my iPad crashes 100% of the time when using Watchtower. I submitted a ticket about this , they know about it " "and will filx it real soon.." The other gripe is in order to generate a new password for a website that you have never before encountered, you have to go to the web for 1Password to generate a secure password. It was much easier to do this on LastPass , just right click to do this. I really miss this feature and wish that 1Password had an equivalent.
@@MarkEllisReviews I'm sure but when this happens costs go up and worst of all trying to cancel those subs becomes a frustrating full time task. made worse by online only avenues of communication. No thanks.

Happy 1password user myself - good video. I especially enjoyed your putting the trolls in their place (in a fairly nice way) at the beginning. :)
Haha - well, somone had to.

The bottom line question is why should I pay for a password manager as non power user when keychain is free?
In your case, Jim, you probably shouldn't! I think, over time, you may yearn for more functionality, in which case it makes sense to look at what the likes of 1Password could do for you.
Family sharing and cross platform support to start. Watchtower and ability to store more than just passwords adds another few.

Thank you 😊
Please do a review of Minimalist Password. Is it Apple Keychain +?
Hello sir from india love your presentation. 1password user. 🙏 One question when available 1password 8 for IOS AND ANDROID? Can you confirm? 😀🙏
Thanks! It's on the horizon, but I'm afraid I don't have exact dates!
I subscribed ages ago! Promise!

How do you setup 1Password on a MacBook laptop to unlock with an iWatch? There’s no iWatch icon on the 1Password unlock dialog box.
No setup required. If you have the feature turned on in macOS it just works.
Liked & subscribed ~~
Thanks!
1Password 8 = double the resources (memory), search is broken, no default vault option. v8 is a major downgrade and shouldnt be released as final. If its not contain all the same options of v7 then why Agilebits release it?
It uses 60 MB of ram…. Hardly a deal breaker. Search also works fine for me.
It's not double the resources - it's actually about triple. The main app may be around 60-80 MB, but add in all the mandatory helpers, renderers, and extensions, and memory is gobbled up.
@@bdkinnh1466 I checked… the helper uses 13 MB. You’re objectively wrong

@@bdkinnh1466 I literally looked at everything. The max everything together uses is like 100 MB. Stop complaining

The new password generation hurdle is one reason why I haven't made the jump to 1Password yet.
