New version of windows application

cpmcgrath, Yes, 1Password 8 is using Electron to package the app. Because we were already using it for both Windows and Linux it made good sense to use it on macOS as well. Most of our app is not in the frontend runtime, though, which is typically where the performance issues lie with this approach. Instead we built a common library in Rust (a systems language with a focus on performance and security) that is essentially a "headless" 1Password app. This has allowed us to create a thin user interface layer on top of this headless 1Password. It's also what has allowed us to simultaneously develop our new 1Password app across multiple platforms using the frontend language and toolkit that makes the most sense for where we're deploying it.

We remain committed to creating an experience that looks and feels like 1Password but also feels at home on the OS where it's running. If we've fallen short of that mark in any regard please let us know so we can address it.

Have you given the app a try, more of a kick the tires, if you will? I think you may be pleasantly surprised by what the team has accomplished. At a minimum, I would encourage you to visit our community and keep providing feedback to the team.

We're here if you have any questions.
