I've just recently started to use 1password and here're my thoughts:

- Amazing support and fast response on their forums from the reps

- Works across Linux (my desktop), Mac and iPhone and Safari and Chrome browsers

- Has CLI

- Syncs instantly (unlike Chrome and iCloud Keychain)

- Supports TOTP (no - it does not completely defeat the purpose of 2FA, there are multiple aspects to it)

I am also aware of the risk I'm taking by trusting a 3rd party commercial company with my credentials.




They at least offer local network syncing, instead of requiring a cloud account (which is a deal breaker for me). This lets you keep your passwords in sync between your Computer (master) and mobile devices without them ever leaving your home.

All that does of course still require trust in the company, but at least not in their cloud infrastructure and, well, the internet...


I also use it for TOTP. Main reason: storing totp-key on a mobile device is too insecure.
