I've been using 1Password for years, and until I saw the picture of everyone in their t-shirts, I had no idea that CMD-\ was the hotkey for the password menu.

Still waiting for seamless Linux integration though. It's one of my killer apps that keeps me on OS X, connecting via ssh to headless Linux machines or VMs, as opposed to using the Linux desktop. And yes, I realize that there are other password managers out there for Linux. The point is that I already have my passwords and many notes in 1Password, and anything I switch to would have to sync with OS X and iOS.

Same here; I had to get a Windows license when I was tired of read-only from the dropbox utility, and then run 1Password for Windows using Wine (and 1Password for windows is a massively inferior experience.) I'm surprised they don't put more effort into improving the Windows app instead of releasing v4 on top of an already pretty good v3, even if they don't feel it's the right time to release a Linux version.

Noted. We can't promise Linux support. It's hard to provide paid software on Linux and be able to pay for the development and technical support. The user base is tricky, many are used to free software via their favorite package manager. Serious professionals are likely to pay I think, but how many of those are there?

We'd love to support Linux in some way, and we just hired a guy who primarily works in Linux. We never say never, but we certainly can't promise Linux support. All that said, I'll pass your feedback along :)

I'd agree, I want our Windows application to get a make over and try to gain feature parity with our Mac app. We're a very small team though so focus tends to be on Mac and iOS since that's where a vast majority of our user base is. That's not to say we don't want the other platforms to be better. Example: We're working on a brand new Android application that should blend both our look and feel with Android's look and feel.

We'll get the Windows application there, just give it some time. :)
