Environments: Feedback

Today I tried fiddling with Environments beta feature on 1Password and wanted to leave some feedback.

Background: We currently use AWS secrets for managing 200+ secrets in our application, but due to the lack of backups/redundancy I started looking at alternatives and considering we already heavily use 1P, I thought I'd give Environments a go.

Generally speaking I love it. It is precisely what we need, however a few things came up along the way which I would like to share:

  1. [P0] The UI needs improvements (and probably soon). There's no sorting nor searching for variables, making it very diffcult to find stuff when you have 100s of variables. — on web variables don't show up at all.
  2. [P1] The AWS integration errors when the secret already exists. This made things a bit awkward for us, considering we manage our infra via Pulumi and we couldn't "create" the secret via Pulumi (had to do some hack to get around this). — this can become important if one wants to give 1P AWS role a very strict access (just the managed secret, not a wildcard policy as suggested in the docs).
  3. [P2] Ideally would be awesome to have a pulumi provider and fully manage Environments via pulumi (only the setup, not the variables).
  4. [P1] There is share with individuals but no share with "a team of people".

Thanks again and keep up the good work. 🙌
