4 years agoElectron version question
Hi,
I hesitate to renew my 1P subscription because UI for macOS will be base on Electron framework for 1Password 8 version.
I bought all version since 1Password 3.
Could you explain why you take this way ?
1Password will be a web page interface experience, it’s the futur for 1Password ?
Best regards.

1P_Ben very well, thank you very much for your arguments and answers. I will continue my subscription, I like very 1Password and iCloud Keychain it’s not enough for me. I may install 1Password 8 it makes me want to try.
If I try 1Password 8 and if I would like to return on 1P7 it will be possible ?

You're welcome! And yes, you could. I've been using it full-time for months. That said, it isn't yet feature complete and there are bound to be some rough edges remaining. If you're interested in helping us track down those rough edges, I'd encourage you to give 1Password 8 a try. If you'd prefer a more smooth and stable experience and aren't interested in testing pre-release software then it may be best to hang on to v7 for now.

Good news about performance on your Mac M1, thank you.
If I install 1Password 8 instead of 1Password 7, I’ll can use early access version untile the final release ?Regards,

I've been using an M1 Mac Mini with 4GB of RAM. I'm a heavy multi-tasker, often having multiple Brave windows (each with multiple tabs), Slack, Apple Music, Things (to-do list), Messages, Calendar, and others all open alongside 1Password 8. I haven't had any performance issues so far. 🤞🏻🙏🏻
Alpha and beta are somewhat nebulous terms, as is Early Access, but I'd say it is akin to those. Perhaps somewhere between alpha and beta?

DitchComfort Thank you !
Thank you for your very interesting feedback. I have an 8GB (ram) macbook air M1, it's less but I think it will work anyway.@ag_ana what does "early access" mean? Is it an Apha version, beta? Or something else?
Regards,

@Yoann, I was also pretty skeptical first, but after using 1P8 for a short week, I really come to love this new approach. I have no issues at all regarding memory or CPU (I’m running a 2019 iMac with 128GB RAM), and the app feels a hell of a lot more ’modern’ in my opinion. Give it a go… and some time, and I think you will come to love 1P8. + it’s still in early access. I have totally faith in the development going forward.
