  • Because it’s closed source, there’s a higher likelihood that there is an undiscovered vulnerability in 1Password. Even though it is audited, a vulnerability could be introduced after the most recent audit and you would never know.

    For something as mission-critical as a password manager, going with an open source solution gives just that much more confidence that your data is safe. To me it’s simply not worth the risk to blindly trust a company with my login data, when I could trust a company that displays their entire solution in the open.

    Really? With Firefox in a Private browsing window - are you certain?

    Here’s mine, with the vault currently locked, but not showing any locked state (point 3):

    And for point 1, just unlock the dropdown extension, exit the extension window, then click on the icon again. It will be re-locked when it shouldn’t.

    If you’re really not seeing this, would you mind telling me how you fixed it?

    There are issues with Firefox private browsing windows that don’t happen in Chrome. Quoting their help article:

    • Your vault will lock every time the browser extension closes, unless you set vault timeout to Never.
    • Unlock with PIN will work only if the Lock with master password on browser restart option is not selected.
    • The badge icon will not update to show vault state (locked or unlocked).

    Not huge issues, but definitely annoying on a daily basis.
