1Password and Safari
Speaking of password management and WWDC, Mitch Cohen, product manager of 1Password, wrote a nice thread a few days ago on Mastodon:
Next week is WWDC, so it’s a good time for a thread about the
1Password browser extension for Safari, its history, challenges,
and the future — both what we’re working on and what we’d like to
see from Apple, Safari and the web platform at large.
I don’t envy them. They need to deal with bugs, missing APIs, and other complicating factors, and all the while need to be extra careful due to the extraordinary sensitivity of the data users put in 1Password. But while I sympathize, many of the complaints levied against 1Password 8, especially on the Mac, are self-inflicted choices.
