What are the pro/cons vs 1password?

[brightball]

1Password: OSX/Windows

Bitwarden: OSX/Windows/Linux

[GordonS]

I wonder if this will nudge 1password to release a Linux client?

[newaccoutnas]

https://support.1password.com/explore/linux/ ?

[brightball]

Is that a browser client that connects to a centralized vault or a local client?

Open source, free sync?

You can do "free" sync to Dropbox or a folder, which you can mount with SSH-FS.

"Free", as in no additional cost.

Which one are you talking about?

[johntash]

I think he's talking about 1password. You can sync to dropbox or any folder (that can be controlled by dropbox/spideroak/sshfs/nfs/whatever)

It's a mature product that hasn't had any major security issues. When I checked a few years ago, no other product ticked both boxes. Nowadays there might be another such product, but I'm not going to switch to find out at this point.

Oops, yes, sorry.

When I last tried it, it didn't support generating passwords with English words ie. A 4 work Random password: hack-flipper-jump-london.

Edit: looks like it does support this now.

Not sure I understand you correctly, but Bitwarden can do this (it's the 'passphrase' option).

They recently added that:

"Oct 9 - This is in the next release for various apps." [1] the PR is from Oct 6 [2].

It is a very basic implementation as of now. The wordlist is English-only, and it doesn't have a minimum character account so it contains 'words' such as 'aa' and 'aaa'.

> it doesn't have a minimum character account so it contains 'words' such as 'aa' and 'aaa'.

The PR discusses how the original word list that was referenced was changed out to the better long word list from https://www.eff.org/dice .

[Fnoord]

Great, thank you. Some more choices in that regard would be great (such as a native language wordlist) but I very much appreciate you added this basic functionality. Even in its current form it is an improvement over nothing or manually doing this (am a satisfied Premium subscriber).

>When I last tried it

Must have been a while back. I've used it for years and it has been able to generate word passwords since day one.

I'm interested in this as well. I semi-recently paid for a year of 1password family so I'm reluctant to switch so soon.
