![]() 95% of my password manager use is on macOS. These won’t change often and are rarely used. This is easily solved with a local copy of Bitwarden or Keepass. My Windows gaming PC needs at best 10 passwords for things like Steam, Discord, and other miscellaneous game stores. I’m losing cross platform support, but I really don’t need this. I also appreciate the documented road map and I’m glad most of the shortcomings are being worked on. It’s not perfect and there are compromises, but the important thing for me is that the application priorities are closer to my own. ![]() The look, speed, and responsiveness is is exactly what I want. I’ve bought a 1 year subscription and imported everything from 1Password. Now after some testing of various alternatives I’m going to give Minimalist a real test. The macOS version just feels like a regression on top of a regression in terms of speed and responsiveness. I will note though that I think version 8 on Windows is a huge improvement on that platform. While my experience on version 8 for Windows is a bit better, it is still a departure from what version 7 and earlier on macOS was. I am using a beta build, and this could account for my problems. What used to be a smooth process of logging in now has a notable hiccup every time I want to use it. The spotlight like quick search keyboard shortcuts were problematic and I missed the old 1Password mini. Keyboard shortcuts were slow to respond, autofill wouldn’t respond sometimes, I’d have to refresh pages to get it to recognize the page, the extension felt slow to respond. I had already thought version 7 was a bit sluggish compared to prior years, but maybe hindsight is clouded here. The TL DR of this experiment is that I do not like it. ![]() Having used it on Windows at work for 6 months or more I was pretty familiar with the look and feel of it already. For the past 2 weeks I used the 1Password 8 beta on macOS.
