Another happy 1Password user here. I've been using it for probably about 18 months now and I can never go back to manual account management. It took a bit of upfront time investment to migrate all my existing accounts into the tool but once that was done, it's been a pretty seamless experience overall. There's browser add-ons you can use to auto-populate your login details that work well for most login forms with mostly no or minimal configuration required. It can get a little annoying when the login form has a CAPTCHA or some other non-standard requirement, but generally all that means is a few extra clicks. When creating new account details, configurable (e.g. length, allowed characters, etc.) password generation is built in. You can keep your encrypted data store file on a cloud service for syncing between devices, should you wish. Which brings me to the 1Password mobile apps, which allow you to take your details mobile. Probably the greatest friction point I've encountered has been when I'm on a foreign computer that doesn't have any of my 1Password support tools installed on it. In this case I usually just pull out my phone, navigate to the login details I need and enter them manually. But I take this as a small price to pay for markedly greater peace of mind. I really can't recommend using a password manager enough. If 1Password is not it for you, then use some other password manager. But just use one. |
