I tried it for all of a week in the past. It's the top one I'm looking at moving to, but honestly the reviews that have been done by users of both are lacking on information, so I don't know what I'm giving up.

Very happy user of 1password here, features, UX and overall ethos of Agilebits are to be commended

+1 for 1password. Best password management software out there.

Hi zakelfassi,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

Thank you so much for the endorsement. Way to make my day!

Hi ge0,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

I just wanted to thank you for your kind words.

Seconded, a really amazing UI and UX with security at the forefront. Not to mention the apps are updated often to take advantage of the latest iOS and OS X features (they support other platforms but I don't use those apps).

It's not clear what the "Pro Features" in-app purchase includes. Is this something that's required for true usability?

Hi jobu,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

You do not need the iOS app's Pro Features for looking up or entering Logins. But you can read much more about what you do get for purchasing the Pro Features here: https://support.1password.com/guides/ios/pro-features.html

No. I just bought 1Pass and it is perfectly usable without Pro features on mobile. The major one is just ability to use multiple vaults.

Hi cburgess,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

Thanks so much for the complements! Our designers and developers work really hard and it great to see their efforts being so well appreciated!

Even on Android 1Password feels like a first class citizen (I think some third party app integration is lacking but i'm used to going back and forth to copy passwords). I am very happy with what it provides.

Hi suhailpatel,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

I don't know what version of Android you are on, but if you are running Android 4.0 or higher, you can use our snazzy Filling feature so you don't have to copy and paste Logins anymore. You will find more details here: https://support.1password.com/guides/android/filling.html

I was a longtime LastPass user and switched to 1Password about 6 months ago and have been really impressed by it.

I'm thinking of making the switch.

Question for you and others who have migrated from LastPass to 1Password:

Were there any sticking points? How did you go about moving over your password database?

I used to be a free user of LastPass and wanted a vault on-the-go. With LastPass the only option was an annual subscription, for an app that I didn't find particularly impressive.

Switching to 1Password was extremely easy. It offered simple instructions on how to import from LastPass and the pricing model (pay once for the piece of software) was a lot more compelling to me. As an added bonus, the app is super well developed and designed. It _just_ works, and works the way you expect it to. 100% satisfied.

Hi acrooks,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

I'm so glad to hear that the transition was and easy one and that you are so satisfied with our product! I will certainly share your kind words with our designers and developers.

Hi quanaut,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

You will find the users manuals for all of our platforms at http://support.1password.com and if you have any questions about specific features, please feel free to ask one of our support jedis at http://discussions.ahilebits.com.

Been using it for years on multiple machines and iOS devices. Works great, and I happily pay for it every once in a while. I'd rather support a small company dedicated to this, than get a cheap product from a corporation with unclear goals.

Hi jwr,

My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the folks who make 1Password.

Thanks so much for appreciating our dedication to our product. Security is incredibly important to us and we take the quality of our work very seriously.

Holy crap, this is annoying...

Eva - love your company and product, but you're spamming HN with this stuff. Update your profile to disclose your affiliation, up-vote the comments praising 1Password if you want, and answer questions candidly. Happy to see company reps participating in the conversation!

Just kill the "Hi so-in-so" and the boilerplate "I am Eva...". If all you have to say is thank you, upvote and leave it at that - your posts are taking up like 50% of the article commentary...

Adding to the other response here -- it's great to thank your customers, and you wouldn't want to hide that you're affiliated with AgileBits. But please bear in mind that people reading HN are here to read a discussion.

A good guideline is just "does this add useful/interesting content to the discussion?"; if not, think very hard before adding it.

Plus from the HN guidelines: Please don't sign comments; they're already signed with your username. If other users want to learn more about you, they can click on it to see your profile.

All that said, welcome to HN!

This is a little different. I think the disclosure is important. Maybe they could just be more succinct with it.

i've often felt that hn should support some sort of flair for people who want to make it clear that they are speaking for their company
