from the founder of 1Password: would love to learn where you think it is worse.

1Password 8 has a ton of new features and it is faster than the previous version. Some of the new features like Universal Autofill and SSH Agent do not exist in any other product. It also fixes many problems that accumulated in the app over the years.

Not the person you commented to, but I think the only real loss was 1Password Mini. There is the alternate ‘search bar’ mini app which is a decent replacement, I wish that was the one that pops up by default (like used to be with Mini).

You guys make a great product otherwise. It’s the only one where I strongly recommend it over the open source alternative (Bitwarden) even though I have a strong open source bias. There’s just a 1000 things in UI and UX that you guys do slightly better than the competition, sort of an inverse death by a thousand cuts.

It’s more of a preference for a “real native Mac app” instead of an Electron app. Long time Mac users can feel the difference.

I see it from a different perspective. There are not that many real native Mac apps that both look and feel great. You could probably count them all on your hands.

Also, I certainly understand being the long time Mac expect. However, when we tested 1Password with new customers we found a ton of usability issues and many of these problems are solved in 1Password 8. One example, most new users couldn't even figure out how to create new items right away because of the look and the location of "New Item" button in the old app.
