Any plans for having the app available outside the Play Store?

Hi problemyarngrumbly, thanks for writing in!

I can definitely understand your interest in seeing 1Password for Android officially available outside of the Google Play Store. There would be some hurdles to overcome to make sure everything is in order for such a move, but certainly nothing insurmountable. That being said, we tend to keep details about this sort of thing pretty close to the chest, and I don't have any specifics to share on the matter at this time.

To your point, the core features and functions of 1Password for Android do not require Google Play Services to function. Some features, such as QR scanning, may not be available without Play Services but you should be able to Autofill and otherwise operate the app. I will note that ROMs, such as Calyx or Graphene, can introduce additional issues as 1Password for Android is designed for and tested with Android proper.

While I can't make any promises about the development of 1Password, I'd be happy to submit a request on your behalf to show interest in making 1Password available outside of the Google Play Store. You've laid out a clear case as to why this important for you, but if you'd like to include any additional details, I'd be happy to include that as well. Thanks again!
