![]() To my surprise all the commotion about Electron and no local backups is barely mentioned, much less given front row seating. Then early this month Joe Kissell (who took over the Take Control series from Adam – and has done a truly spectacular job) issued TC of 1Password v6.0.1 – devoted exclusively to version 8. We have a “family plan” and my grown son went ahead and switched to v8 and reported no problems or concerns. I even purchased and installed several of the suggested alternatives – but either they didn’t have all the functions I needed or didn’t work as well – and I figured I’d try again when I had to. I followed the “abandon 1Password” discussion very closely and hung onto version 7 for dear life. I have been a 1Password user since version 2.0 in 2009. There’s also an option to toggle revealed fields by holding Option, which might be more generally useful after I finish cleanup.ġPassword on the iPhone lets me add a TOTP to recognized sites easily by simply tapping a purple banner and scanning a QR code. When I’m doing duplicate removal, it’s very handy to be able to see which logins use the same password without having to reveal it manually for each one individually. In LastPass, I’d have to search my vault in my browser or, more generally, load the associated Web site so I could more quickly find the related password.ġPassword has an option to show always show passwords and full credit card numbers. ![]() I really like 1Password’s Quick Access pop-up interface for finding passwords for apps. I want to delete all my duplicates, but I prefer to archive logins for sites that have gone under or that I never plan to use again, just so I’m not losing the historical data. I like the latter for seeing all the duplicates and random logins that I need to clean up.ġPassword distinguishes between deleting and archiving. I can do a search in 1Password and hit Return to display the top hit, or press Command-Return to see all the results. KeePass has a template plugin system that can handle this, so hopefully KeePassXC can implement something similar.Please share some additional examples of how 1Password is more “elegant” than LastPass? I’m going to try to use this as my main password manager for the time being, but one shortcoming I’ve come across so far is that it’s difficult to enter credit card information for safe keeping. ![]() If your 1Password is like mine (littered with temporary passwords), you’re definitely going to want to go through and clean up a bunch of entries after the import. In the top section, select Consider ‘\’ an escape character.Create a password to unlock and select OK.Select Import from CSV and select the file you exported from 1Password. ![]() Leave everything else the same and press Save
