5 years ago1Password v8 is a Mistake
I've been a supporter and advocate for 1Password for years. I led my team to use it at work in 2016 because I'd been using it and loving it since it was 1Passwd. I happily downloaded 1Password 8 when...

5 years ago- I do think that most of it is, for being an Electron app, is very well implemented. It does not feel slow, like almost all other Electron apps does. It actually starts and unlocks noticeably faster than version 7 which is of course not the expected result of being Electron, but I suspect that it is because the core is built in Rust, and Electron is probably used for as little as possible, for just being able to render the user interface.
- It also does, of course, not feel like a Mac app anymore though, which was probably my favourite part of 1Password up until now. I miss the rubber band scrolling soooo much while using this beta version!
- There are lots of bugs of course, being a pre-beta release so far, but most of that is simply because of that fact that it is an early release, and things like it would have been there even if it was a native app.
I think, after trying it out, having some things that I do like and some things that I don't, that i would actually weirdly be mostly OK with this change if:
- The bugs where fixed (which I expect them to be, at least most of them)
- The Quick access would get to a state where it didn't miss a bunch of features that used to be there
- Rubber Band Scrolling was added. This is so important for making an app feel right in macOS! (no idea how to do that in an Electron app, but I also don't know for sure that it would be impossible, even if I have never seen it done anywhere).
