>pwd manager for Mac OS
1Password is OK.
Likes:
- it works
- fairly comprehensive and seems serious about providing a good product. they've been caught out in some of the password manager audits, like others, but they patched promptly.
- you don't HAVE to store stuff in the cloud. if not, no syncing, but that's ok
- you don't have to use browser integration and you can keep it closed most of the time.
- multiplatform.
Dislikes:
- data file is stored in/mediated by macos Keychain. That's probably an overall positive, but worries me about what would happen if the mac dies and Time Machine doesn't save the day. I'd rather export it encrypted somewhere, only needing the app and the master password to restore. Now, IIRC, I did manage to find the file somewhere and do just that, but it's not well documented and needlessly obfuscated and complex to do so.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
