When the 1Password 8 beta hit, I installed it briefly and gave it a superficial look to see what the fuss was about. I re-installed it this morning to really use it, adding my family and Micro.blog team accounts. It’s actually quite good!

@manton What’s new in 8?

@pratik It’s basically a redesign. I don’t think there are any specific new features in terms of managing passwords.

@maique That’s a good question about older machines. Ultimately, my take is that even as a larger company, these are Mac folks. The new Mac version might not be perfect but they are not going to ship something terrible.

@maique @manton No you’re doing it wrong! You’re supposed to pick a side and then insult people.

@maique I have missed all the ā€œmadness,ā€ apart from seeing passing reference to something here on MB. Is there something to be concerned about version 8?

@maique Oh, so just one or two complaints! I started using 1Password just after it was first launched and then moved away when subscriptions were brought in…but subsequently came back to a subscription as I have always found the app to be so easy and intuitive (and apparently safe) to use. Based on what you shared, my only beef, and it is minor, is that I tend not to like the look and feel of Electron-based apps. I don’t know if there are any technical implications of the move? If it works well though, I will trust their track record and more than likely move to version 8 when it is released.

@maique woah! I missed the news about the 50 percent discount for trading in. I’ve been a customer since v 1.x but stalled on 6 because I didn’t want to go to subscription.

@maique I’m not going anywhere even if I don’t like electron. I’m sure I’ll begrudge a lot in version 8 when it launches formally but it would have to fall off a cliff in quality before I switch. Thanks for the link.

@manton how’s the CPU and memory load?

@rom I haven’t paid much attention to it. Memory I’m sure is worse.

@manton :) that’s my main concern with Electron app. I stay as far away from it as I could. This version 8 might just be the first one that I’d allow on the Mac.
