The 'problems' 1password faces... Apple has solved. I quit using 1password around 3 years ago, but at the time they were going all in on SaaS and quietly memory-holing the local-first vault approach that people were using them for. You know, letting people reference a sqlite db on icloud, google drive or whatever and that can be synced. 1Password cites credential leakage and security as a reason for for not implementing MCP, but they're giving the impression that MCP is the issue. Mind you, 1password has a very similar model to lastpass, that had 16bln creds leaked.

But seriously, Apple is actually in a better position to let mcp into their services if they wanted. The user credentials are all bound to your physical devices, which in turn cooperate to give a measure of identity to you. You don't need to let MCP have full access to everything, the secure enclave can generate short-lived certs. I'd be surprised if passkeys weren't able to do that already.

I haven't checked recently, but 1P may still the best option for WE vs I.

Except that 1P has been very security conscious since day 1 (which is a freaking long time ago!). Maybe an insider could give us some dirt...
