Beta #8 of 2022 is now available 🙌

The placeholder images are really nice, and make the app feel genuinely better. I appreciate the incremental improvements a ton!

Did you spot the difference? Well your CPU and Battery will. 🙂 We now hide the animated countdown when the window isn’t in focus to conserve power.

This feels like raising the price of an item before putting it on sale.

On my slow system 1Password 7 required 0.2-0.3% CPU to render that animated countdown, and it provided genuinely useful information about the TOTP timer.

1Password 8 requires 2-4% CPU on the same system. CPU usage is worse when in the foreground, and while it's better (almost 0%!) when in the background, the useful TOTP timer has been removed.

It may sound small but it’s just one of the many ways we’ve optimized 1Password 8 to be the fastest version of 1Password yet. 🔥

This may be the best version of 1Password 8, but it isn't the fastest version of 1Password. Electron is a lot of things but it isn't fast.

• Compare CPU utilization between 1Password 7 and 1Password 8 when scrolling in a large vault.
• Compare CPU utilization when the cursor is simply blinking in the search field!

I'm sure you've seen the complaints all over the Internet. Hacker News is angry. Miguel de Icaza called you out on Twitter.

I appreciate all of the improvements, and am a frequent advocate for the product. I've influenced several Enterprise customers to choose you.

Just ... please don't claim 1Password 8 is the fastest version. It feels condescending and disrespectful.
