The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views.

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

    Then you forgot the whole point of password managers which is having a place to store all your credentials, what you said are not reasons to not use a password manager but rather some good practices that you can use alongside a password manager lol

      Having all of your credentials stored sounds like a detriment and a pointless amount of trust for a shady group like 1Password who conspire with literal fascists.

        I literally never talked about 1password, they aren’t the only password managers nor you need a password manager on the cloud (look at KeePassXC), I currently use Bitwarden because i need to be able to sync the password on multiple devices but in the light of what they are doing, I probably need to start hosting a Vaultwarden instance…

        This is why I’ve not used one. The whole point of passwords is privacy, yet people put them all in one place controlled by someone else where you have no way to verify how secure they actually are. And you need a password to get into it, so now there’s one password that could be breached to gain access to everything.
