@paulrobertlloyd @pratik They always rubbed me the wrong way, too; 1Password was often implicated in whatever the top non-Flash crasher was in Camino at a given point in time, and they persisted in insisting these crashes were not related to anything they were doing, despite the fact they were mucking around in our internals and oftentimes the nature of the stack trace showed exactly what they were doing wrong. We did finally get them to fix one big crash, but never anything after that.
Beyond that, I never quite understood the utility (to quote Steve Jobs, āitās a feature, not a productā) when the OS already had a Keychain, and then a syncable iCloud Keychain. When they finally added a Windows version for that subset of Mac users who also were Windows users, then I could see some utility for that subsetā¦. But for me, the value has never clicked.
A successful product-revenue-supported company taking VC money seems really strange, and the āscaling extremely quicklyā language the VC used in the TechCrunch article that @florian linked seems worrisome. (I likewise worry every time I hear Automattic has taken more VC moneyā¦but at least WordPress itself is open-source, so thereās the possibility of forking if Automatticās revenue requirements ever become so onerous).
