Yup! In many ways Linux is leading the charge. Not just with these features but also for development as a whole. Here's the background story on how 1Password for Linux started and how it was built:

Thanks for the product, have been using it for years. This is a very cool development!

Have you looked into using Sciter instead of Electron? It seems to be considerably more lightweight.

You're welcome! And thank you for supporting us all these years. <3

We looked around a bit but Electron worked so well for us when we started development in 2019 that we didn't have a need to continue searching. Electron also has such a strong community and momentum behind it that I'm happy to continue using it.

Sciter looks interesting and so does Tauri. Perhaps one of those will win out next time we do a deep dive here. :) Until then I've been really impressed with how well Electron is working when paired with Rust.

Cheers!

What happened to accessibility on 1P for Mac? It's completely invisible to VoiceOver now.
Hey disgrunt. We have a number of VoiceOver users on Mac, so something doesn't sound quite right (no pun intended). Please reach out to our support team at support+mac@1password.com and we'll be happy to help.
